DCUC has always had some quality issues for me, but rarely have they been really bad. Mostly I notice some real slop jobs paint wise, or some really odd mangled limbs in package. I did once get the wave 3 or 4 Green Lantern and his leg tore off basically right out of the box. My fault, and now I know how to fix stuck joints, which I've had a few of. One thing I noticed on my Imperiex and Arkillo is that the paint peeled too easily in the joint areas.

Thing is, in cases like stuck joints where it's a relatively easy fix, it's a little work for a big payoff. DCUC figures are some of the best playable/poseable figures since Marvel Legends for me.

On the other hand, if you can get a near perfect figure right out of the box it's the best feeling. I nabbed an Eclipso from amazon for like $6 and it had a tiny smudge on the cap but no stuck/overly tight joints and no warped limbs. I always hope that I get a good one online, because this line of figures has me inspecting them in box at the store more than I ever have with other lines.
