Edit:
I think I should clarify, because I said I'd had no "major" QC issues. It's a loose description since I've definitely had QC problems, I just don't find them to be too dreadful for the toys. From their Pacific Rim line my Coyote Tango had the right cannon fall off, but it easily plugs back on and stays on even when shaken. Caesar from dotpota has the red stripe on his forehead off-center, Elder Predator v2 has a spot of silver under his right eye, blue warrior alien has bowed legs and can't stand upright without support, and the worst is Hive Wars Predator's right forearm wasn't assembled right. That one might be a deal breaker for many, but the pose I keep him in does a great job of hiding it.

I've had a number of QC issues with Neca's stuff all across their different lines, although the majority of them were with the Pacific Rim toys. Loose and floppy leg joints right out of the package for nearly all of them (especially Crimson Typhoon) not to mention a waist joint that doesn't pivot on Stryker, and a peg on one of Gypsy's chainswords that broke off immediately the first time I tried to attach it. Nearly all of them have a bad wash or paint bleed somewhere on the figure, and Typhoon and Cherno are nearly impossible to stand on their own thanks to the for-mentioned loose knee joints and their top heavy nature. The washes are forgivable, as I just look at them as robots that rust and get pounded on by the elements and Kaiju alike, but the horrible loose joints right out of the box are absolutely unacceptable. There was no improvement on the recent re-releases either, which burns me up because I could have gotten the same figures at a much cheaper price point had I known that NECA was planning a re-release on Stryker and Typhoon in the first place.

Other issues I had with them were mostly with their horror lines. My part 3 Jason has a mask that's badly warped that no amount of hot water has been able to fix (with the mask's eye holes being of different sizes) and my part one Freddy had one of the pegs break off the extended arms the very first time I attempted to use those as well. I haven't had any issues thus far with the Predator figures outside of my videogame one having the laser cannon fall off his shoulder (which I had to crack the shrink wrap for to discover, and it upset me a bunch as I enjoy having the videogame classics line remain in the shrink.) Truthfully, my lack of issues with my Predators probably has something to do with the fact that I've left nearly all of them on the card.

Thankfully my NECA Robocop figures have been issue free (I was terrified when I finally opened my ED-209 thanks to some of the things I read,) and thus far, they have been way more durable than my McFarlane ones, which had TERRIBLE QC issues but that's a story for another time.
