Just had to say that the TRU near me got in more Ultimate Jungle Hunters and I can say with 100% certainty that this figure represents NECA's most dire quality control issues in years. If you carefully, CAREFULLY go through each and every figure on the shelf you can find one that is acceptable and perhaps even good, but overall this release is embarrassing and NECA needs to address it.

Almost every Jungle Hunter in this new shipment still has the bizarre stinky paint issues (you can smell it though the box), bent/broken wrist blades, random deep scratches on the masked head, sloppy paint apps, warped mandibles and lazy eyes on the un-masked head, damaged plasma casters, and - worst of all - random parts of the figure are LITERALLY MELTED from sloppy glue application. It's mostly where the wires insert into the shoulder armor, but whoever was in charge of that in the factory went a little crazy and as a result we have globs of dried glue resulting in melted wires and shoulder armor.

So far, as En Sabah Nerd said above, the new Part 4 Ultimate Jason isn't displaying any real QC issues, but it's also a much less complex figure. The Ultimate Jungle Hunter is a totally different story. Their older 25th Anniversary Jungle Hunter had practically ZERO QC issues, and compared to that the Ultimate JH is almost at Hong Kong bootleg quality. Just sad and if this trend continues, there's going to be backlash...after all the City Hunter and Serpent Hunter both had QC issues as well. Already people realize that ordering a NECA figure online (as opposed to waiting to pick one out at retail) is a waste of money because you never have any idea what's going to be wrong when you open the box.

NECA needs to get their act together or it's going to cost them sales.
