Is that sarcasm? I am afraid I must disagree if not as though I have not experienced TakTom's Blitzwing, I found Rodimus to be a lemon filled with flaws that should have been corrected before release. While my Laserbeak was fine, Kup's was a disaster that was miss-assembled from the get go, meanwhile my MP Soundwave has missing paint apps, so while Taktom might be better than Hasbro most of the toys you mention I would not consider good examples.Originally Posted by Trent
Conversely the quality of the most recent Maketoys and MMC acquisitions make TakTom's QC look sloppy.
All and all I'd say QC is hit and miss with all companies, but I imagine with the smaller third party companies with their much lower productions numbers and much smaller set ups are sometimes able to make fixes or changes easier late into the production process than a mega company like Hasbro.
I'm far from pleased with the cost of Third party toys, but when it comes to quality Hasbro seem to be in a race to the bottom, each successive wave of toys seems cheaper or shoddier than the last, so if I want a decent robot toy seems like I have to got to TakTom, Bandai or a third party. What good is a cheaper collectible toy if it's forgotten and thrown aside in an instant? So for a toy that is great an memorable then I'm happy to pay a little (or sometimes a lot) extra for.
