There is little more than a pencil lead piece of hollow plastic affixing the ankle ball to the lower leg, and the plastic is brit-t-t-t-t-t-tle.

The molded pieces look like they will support a pin inserted into the opening at the bottom of the leg and into the top of the foot. I will see how it goes, and maybe add Action Figure Podiatry to my business card. If not, I suppose I'll have to resort to trusty old plastic welder.

Word to the wise: Don't mess with Wave 16 Robin's feet!

That's not a quality control issue. A design issue maybe, a production issue probably. But NOT quality control.
