Re: Transformers quality control issues of 2008/2009
The first Animated Bumblebee I had purchased was destroyed within seconds of coming out of the package. The entire shoulder joint disintegrated the moment I tried to move it. The second one I popped open was alright, although I was very careful in moving any joint. Even though its still intact the plastic itself feels cheap and brittle. Plus there are quite a few stress marks.
I've noticed visible stress marks on most of the Animated figures I've handled, some stress marks existing while they're still sealed in the packages.
Seriously, the damage done to the first one was pretty close to the GPS problems. I'm guessing it was cracked when it was assembled, and moving it when trying to transform it was just too much for the plastic to hold together.
