IDW Generation Figures

[chuskers]

Haven't seen a post about this, so if this is a complaint that has already been written, I apologise ...

Is it just me or is there a scary epidemic of loose joints from these new figures. Right out of the package my Bee's parts are flopping all over the place, the right arm on Hoist can be flicked and spin around a few times and my poor Skids seems to always want to bow. Does anyone else have these problems with these figures or it is hit and miss. Case of hasbro getting sloppy - not only smaller figures but loose as all heck as well?

The only figure that is solid so far is my Thundercracker.

So far so good with Bumblebee, Hoist, Goldfire, Waspinator and Starscream...

Out of all the new figures, I only have Trailcutter and Hoist so far, but I've found that they've both been really solid.

That said, when I was picking out my Hoist, I passed on one with a floppy looking head. Also, I've definitely heard a number of complaints mirroring yours on various boards. So you're not alone.

It just seems to be hit or miss.

My rhinox's waist and knees are a bit loose, they still hold him up but I'd really want them to be tighter... bomber's megatron also has loose shoulders joins and cant hold his gun straight.

BB, Hoist, orion pax are all perfect tho.

Skids....he can't stand on his own. Well mine can't.

I got the Takara Bomber Megs and Pax and they're both solid and gorgeous. Pax was almost too solid I was afraid I was going to break him. I had to pull so hard to pop the waist part for transformation I was sweating with nervousness.

I only have Hoist and Trailcutter and they both seem fine so far.

My Hoist's head can spin like a top.
