Right you are. Bad design.

Are Blackest Night figs DC Direct? Some of the figs that are twisted and mangled by design to resemble zombies are mangled to the extent that they become out of balance from even the most minor package/bubble warping (legs, especially) that they are done for.

I thought that the point of plastic was that it lasted forever!

As I read it on other forums, Mattel switched manufactures both before and after Wave 3 since Wave 3 suffered so extensively from that powdering issue, either poor plastic or poor paint or a bad chemical reaction between them.
