    Default Bruticus mold issues

    Seems like the latest Encore is suffering from mold degradation:

    Linky

    And it also contains NO metal!!
    If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you

    The no metal is the most disappointing part but the mold degradation seems rather minor - I think most of the issues are arising from a choice to use lower quality plastic than the original and a silly choice to force G1 cartoon colors.

    I have no issues with it so far.

    My brawl (Classics reissue) looks pretty much the same, all toys look crap in close ups to me anyway. I hope it is as good as it seems, I think if it's up to standard with the club Seacons, ill be happy.

    I did expect metal but most of it is covered with stickers, it chips and stuff, whatever. That said I don't see much difference between it and an other plastic version I have seen.

    Seems typical encore quality to me, I agree with Kup it think it is more to do with materials choice (not even being poor quality) and manufacturing rather than just the mold.

    Ew, mould degradation. And on this oh-so-rarely-used mould? <Gasp!> I'm astonished!

    No metal, but it looks like it does contain a working launcher for Onslaught, however. I'm thankful for small mercies.
