More reason never to pay retail price for figures

Posted in Action Figure Chatter

Got a Harley Quinn from the Arkham Knight line, new, but at a good discount. It's an okay figure, suffering from the same stretched out lanky body syndrome found on other female DC Collectibles figures. And of course there are the quality issues.



There's a fingerprint melted into the paint and a flat deformed spot on the forearm. Terrible.

That's not what bothers me most though, the bigger issue is if you get defective figures then you're screwed. DC won't take responsibility for their junky figures unless you got them directly from their online store. You'll have to return them to the store you bought them from otherwise, assuming they take returns.

Seems sh*tty to me, but I don't see anything changing since collectors are still willing to spend $30 on these awful things.

I can't imagine how vitriolic my reviews would be nowadays if I still wrote them. There would be f-bombs and calls for castration all over the place haha.
