Not really. There were a fair amount of bugs early on (albeit mostly confined to the console releases; I played the PC version and never noticed anything particularly glaring) and Gearbox made the bastard move of funnelling most of the funds that Sony had earmarked for development of the game into their Borderlands sequel, resulting in the graphics disparity between the early demo videos and the final product (and also quite understandably bringing a lawsuit from Sony down on their heads) but beyond that, it's a pretty solid game for what it is: a chance to step into the boots of a United States Colonial Marine and blast xenomorphs with a pulse rifle without the usual interference from glory-hogging Predators. Certainly, the story creates far fewer continuity/plot logic headaches than that of Isolation (which had its own assortment of serious bugs and glitches).

As for the figures, though, with these new characters, and the APC, I'm seriously tempted to start collecting. I can even overlook the funky camouflage, since the patterns they're using were actually available as unlockable skins in-game. The only thing that really presents an issue for me is the helmets, which are both too small and lacking the "lobster plates" that hang down at the back to protect the neck, but I think there's an ecrater store somewhere that sells casts of the old Hot Toys snap-kit versions...
