    My Zarana and Cover Girl both had the same exact issue. Remember when one of the Valaverse Action Force figures had an issue with the crotch breaking for some figures? They dealt with it head on and offered replacement parts. Has Hasbro addressed this massive QC failure? Have they ever admitted even one issue in any of their lines and actually made it right? And I don't mean offering a random replacement figure, I mean actually making the consumer whole and giving them what they wanted and what they paid for. Please, everyone, share this video far and wide. I'm going to. Thank you, Ninja, for just stating the facts and providing the (copious!) evidence to support your case that this line is in trouble and fast action is needed.

Which is all I wanted and they couldn’t even bother. 😡 lol their customer service is garbage!! Man I really wanna give them up for good but the majority of my collections is hasbro. Lately I’ve been super selective. To almost just archive it all and stick with sh figurarts and mafex, idk

    Classified's bad QC is the main reason I'm hesitant to get more figures from this line. There's some cool stuff, but I *need* to wait for reviews on these things. Glad you shouted out Mad Hatter's video. He was spot on with that rant, the amount of company loyalists is insane. Criticism is necessary for anything to improve. I wonder how these dudes do in everyday life if *a toy* getting criticised gets them all defensive. Just sad, man.

It was upsetting but wasn’t as bad since I got it on deep clearance and mostly got it for the headsculpt. However if I had paid full price and this happened to me multiple times I’d obviously be a very upset customer. Keep up the good work as always Ninja!

    I actually passed on cover girl because I thought she looked like Joan Rovers and every review I saw has that broken arm. Although maybe I should’ve got her for the free press from you lol. Just Kidding. I’ve collected GI Joe from 1982 on. Still am, I’m a GI Joe fan that loves it when they get it right, but isn’t afraid to call BS when I see it. My hope is this wave is a stumble but things get straightened out next wave when some of my Faves hit in my fav decos. Torpedo, Bazooka, Remember kc N Roll (yeah he’s different but I approve) Shopwreck etc. I think Stormshadow, Sprit, BAT and Alley are this far the pinnacle of this line. I think the penicle of the line so far. It can get back there but o have doubts.

    Thank you very much for sharing this important viewpoint! Thanks to those reviewers who get items in advance and are fully transparent about quality issues (e.g. bad paint jobs, missing accessories, weak joints, design choices, etc.), informed consumers have the opportunity to avoid making purchasing mistakes such as buying Cover Girl at full price (or at all). If too many customers continue to buy sub-par products at full price, then the quality control issues are likely to continue going unaddressed. (One minor victory is that Hasbro will resume using plastic window packaging in 2024 for its action figure lines, which provide customers the opportunity to check for bad paint jobs and missing pieces prior to purchasing and opening a product.) - As a 6 inch Hasbro action figure collector (Star Wars Black Series, Marvel Legends, G. I. Joe Classified, and Power Rangers: Lightning Collection), my biggest concern is whether the face portrait is satisfactory. I absolutely HATE how the recent packaging changes took away the customer's ability to conduct a preliminary check regarding whether an action figure's hair piece had been glued on correctly and whether facial details (eyes, pupils, eyebrows, etc.) had been applied correctly.

    Fortunately I haven't had problems with my figures until now, but it's important to understand that just because some of us had luck it doesn't mean that there isn't QC issues with these figures and that's something that many don't seem to get, as if acknowledging it somehow affects them in a negative way when it actually makes us aware as customers to be able to demand better quality and avoid these things from happening to us and others in the future. There's a reason why so many big and small reviewers had problems with them in their reviews so there's definitely enough evidence, specially because they acquire more figures than the average customer that chooses a couple releases every now and then. Thanks for this video mate, sorry that it happened to you. Whether is $100 or $20, it sucks when a product ends up lacking quality and it feels like wasted money, specially when it's something that we are passionate about.

    My guess is that we're seeing the effects of cost-cutting...which I suppose is pretty obvious. Most of the past 10, or so, figures I've gotten have had some annoying issues. The sculpts on Cover Girl and Falcon aren't my favorite. And I've had some super tight and/or super loose joints on Serpentor, Zarana, Cover Girl, Tiger Force Outback, CG BATs, etc. Prior to those figures, the production quality was notably higher. I don't know if it's mostly factory QC, engineering or a combination of the two. I just hope they can tighten the quality up again without sending prices through the roof.

These are not cheap hobbies either, and we all know collectors may even pay double on the secondary market. Mebbe someone at the Hasbro factory went to work a little too "high", while listening to dope jazz music with the slide trombone and their thinking was like, "if I mess up cases of Cover Girl, Articulated will make a video of my work and play dope jazz music with the slide trombone for the soundtrack". Yes, no logic.

Their QA issues have been very bad for me over the last year or so. Most recently, I received 6 figures and 5 had issues (Cover Girl- same arm issue.....MM BBQ and Falcon had paint defects.....Both my Crimson BATs had something wrong with their waist). It honestly has been so disappointing having to spend time on the phone with Hasbro Customer Support, packing everything back up and shipping it back). I can feel myself losing interest :(

I have already pretty much stopped collecting the Black series, and have pared back collecting Classified to just the figures I had as a kid or REALLY wanted.

    You just saved me $25. I was going to buy this figure FOR THE ARMS. Lol I was going to make a Custom Jim Lee Jacketed.. , jacket (?) Psylocke with the Cover girl Arms. Guess I'm just making a custom jacket instead. Actually I am full stop on buying full retail price for figures just to use parts for customs. It an expensive bad habit.

    Had no issues with my copy, but these arm pegs are getting worse and i especially dislike the new boots used with recondo and falcon way too tight for my taste. (My cover girl also showed signs of wanting to pop off but it didn't pop off as easily as other peoples videos.)

    Lenny did say they was working with a new buck and plastic during a live event right before the stalker wave. And if you notice, Dusty and stalker have skinny arms. But dusty has a softer plastic than stalker. And everything after stalker is gummy. Including older bucks that got rereleased like the crimson bats. They are much softer than the others. This is probably due to reviews complaining about stiff joints developing stress marks. But i truly believe its greed, so they use cheaper plastic while raising prices. This entire line has been modified every time a new wave comes out. First we complained about the bling paint apps. So they took away the gold, and toned down, if not removed the reds. Then we complained about the futuristic look of the figures. Then they went to the retro paint apps. And we complained about the futuristic guns. Then they went to The more realistic look. Then we complained about availability. So they flooded the shelves. Then we complained about them peg warming. Then they ended up on clearance. Then we wanted the more traditional sunbow figs, so they started to go in that direction. They are constantly trying to please the fans to point where the quality is suffering and they wont know until reviewers, (AKA free advertisers) do the quality control videos for them. And on top of that, they need to save money so they fire half the crew. And make the plastic even cheaper. So this is what we get. 🤦🏾‍♂️ When you try to please everybody, you end up pleasing nobody. At least the marvel Legends team is sticking to what works. So we keep getting the same bucks that are hot swapped to make new figs.

    I have been hunting and collecting the Classified line for awhile now. There are so many amazing sculpts in the line. Bludd, Firefly, TF Outback, Serpentor... I have been disappointed in this last wave. So far I've only opened regular Outback. The Tiger Force one is so amazing. All they had to do was QC the paint to get the regular one. The regular one is okay but not nearly as amazing as the TF one. I haven't worked up the nerve to open either Falcon or Cover Girl yet. I hate that the best thing I can say is that they aren't as bad as I expected... 😢 It sucks. The next wave looks amazing. Why did this one crash so hard? Don't know...

    In hand her face is not that bad. Something about the camera makes her look butter. Somehow ninja made her look great on camera. In hand she looks ok. I wouldn’t think she has a cover girl face. Falcon head sculpt was a disaster. No ifs ands or buts about it. I had to swap heads. I went with a Chris Evans head from marvel legends cause it allowed for the beret to fit on right.

    News of the arm issue saddened me since I preordered two of these figures, wanted a body for the Lightning Collection April O'Neil head. First thing I did when I got them was to put drops of floor polish into the arm joints to thicken them. I shouldn't have to fix my toys right out of the box.

    Thanks for the real review. At first I thought you just have bad luck with female arms on Classified (I remember the Zarana review), but nope. Everyone is having “bad luck.” Classified is so uneven, it’s frustrating. You have the QC issues, but also, what is up with the sculpts, especially faces. Looking at Zarana and Outback (I love both of the Outback releases) I almost can’t believe this is the same line that handed in that Falcon figure as acceptable work. And even Outback has QC issues with the leg. Blurg Funny you mention Mad Hatter because partway through this video I thought, “I’m going to comment about what Hatter said,” then you reference that exact video. What do you think of the Hasbro and Mattel announcement? If you are going to react in a video or podcast, I’ll wait. On the one hand, I want to see these creative teams do something cool, but on the other hand I think there are a lot of ways it could be lame

    Wassup as always love seeing your name pop up man and I think the Collab won't really affect figures much so its not a big deal for me maybe for car guys though it will be. Also it could be the beginning stages of Hasbro finally taking over Mattel doubt it but we ll see still a possibility though.

    I didn't have this issue with my zerana (or however it's spelled, lol) but I did notice it with cover girl. personally it's not to big a deal yet since it's not a break and I'm still able to fully use the articulation of the figure (I just hold the arm above the bicep cut when I wanna move the shoulder joint). but yeah, I see where you're coming from and this type of QC issues shouldn't be happening, especially after they started raising the price.

    I didn't get the arm thing on my Cover Girl. But, each figure in the wave came with at least one bent weapon. I don't want send them back if there's a chance the replacement figure itself will come back jacked up. I would like to get replacements for just the bent weapons.

    I bought a lot of Classified since I got back into collecting. I have a significant amount of army builders. Out of the latest wave from that, I have 6 Crimson Bats. I opened two so far, and two of them have bad QC. Cover Girl is even worse. I have so many QC issues on mine, and Falcon is just TRASH. The Recondo I got has a MAJOR gap in one of the thigh cut. ENOUGHG IS ENOUGH At this point, I still have some figures preordered, because I live in a small area with next to no retailers. BUT I don't think I am going to continue buying them at this point, seeing how I have had a LOT of QC issues on the last few figures I bought. Nope. I already stopped being a Legends collector after 20 years of collecting that line. Hasbro overestimates their customer base. They think that we are suckers. Many of us are. But if enough people stop buying the line, retailers will stop ordering the line, and then it will mean lost revenue to them. Get it together,because I will have NO problem quitting the line and not coming back.
