Well to start it off I hate how Hasbro still has the bad habit of making swiveling elbows because they limit the poses you can put figures into when you display them sometimes even to where they look like they are wearing an invisible sling. The lines that commemorated any movie really showed this but I think the people in charge of the movie lines worry more about detail & not about any articulation.

Claws that aren't separate on Wolverine figures also bother me because we are in the year 2011 & the way that the claws are produced only work for the 80's & 90's. We've recently had Team X Wolverine & 1st Appearance Wolverine with not only the same claws but the swiveling elbows & tiney ball joints on the hips. I'm a guy with big hands & I can't handle wasting half an hour putting them to how I like them.

Certain paint details also are some of the weaknesses of some figures. The QC on some don't seem to be taken in consideration with certain characters. Here are some examples:

Dark Hawkeye with BLUE teeth & blue on his face
Weird paint app on Team X Wolverine makes him look like he has a jacked up tan line.
Gladiatior also has a slight case of this but its not that bad
Some Iron Man Figures with eyes that are painted 2 centimenters away from where they need to be
Some characters have their pupils & irises painted to the point of either having more than one of each eye or to the point of being really cock eyed

feel free to post any more if you have seen any
