I do have to echo the quality control sentiments others have experienced, especially lately. 80th Caps left knee had a mispunched upper peg AND left elbow upper peg. So I'll be fixing those. I had to pick through the 80th Iron Man and Thor the other week to find aligned eyes, no scratches, etc.

It definitely sucks because most stores will get one case. So you don't have any choice to pick through because there's 1 of each figure. An exclusive is even worse because of demand, availability, scalping, etc. You get what you get because you may not run into it at retail again.

I've still never seen Worthy Cap. The one figure I'm still wanting.

Quality control has steadily gotten worse over the last two years for sure. We're simply getting too much product to ensure good quality, as much as it's great to get so much it's less rewarding when there's problems with the figures. I'm guessing we're going to get another 9-10 waves next year, but quite honestly I think for both distribution, retail keeping up, and quality control they were running smoothly when they were doing 6-7 waves a year. I'm actually hoping we get back down to that in 2021.


Edit: @Firmpulse - never underestimate Hasbro's willingness to take on a repaint with minimal resculpt! I agree with Dr Kain, if we do just get one wave of AoA, the BAF will almost certainly be Apocalypse.
