Castle Grayskull - Has stupid hole in the floor, has stupid floor that does nothing but elevate the ground to make room for stupid hole while at the same time minimizing clearance to first floor, small dome room and new orb holder renders Temple of Darkness Sorceress' orb holder useless, Sorceress cannot sit in throne properly (slits were made for her tail, but not her arm wings

101. NA Skeletor - Reversed shoulders, fat suit that is supposed to be “skin???, and gummy hands that can barely grip weapon

So, what did I miss?

I've added my comments in red.

[Novelty]

Are loose ankles not considered flaws? Also, the gauntlets on all Teela based figures - Goddess, evil-Lyn both versions, Teela - are all reversed

[Mechanizor]

Yeah, but that's like 30% of the figures give and take suffer from loose ankles!

[_RZ_]

Almost everyone with v1.0 Furry Boots has had some type of ankle issue and has trouble standing up straight.

[JimPansen]

You forgott the reversed shoulders on Roboto!
Spikor-blastic.
Blades swords are not only paintless, they are anlarged and the moviesword is deformed too.
Extendar also got unproportional long forearms.
Glimmer-pants not curved in.
Octavia-pants not curved in.

Presumed cost cutting reasons( ok i guess blastic might belong here too):

Filmation Randor is missing a bicep swiffel.
The Dragonblaster dragon is indeed removeable, but not articulated and the head was modeled with a closed mouth( if not for costcutting reasons its design is inaxplicable).
Sorceress is also missing her left spellcasting hand.
Octavia- no bendy tentacles.

[Grayskull's Lost Son]

Stonedar and Rokkon: questionable face sculpt, oversized rock parts made of cheap and brittle plastic
Extendar: ugly forearms (way too long)
Sorceress: IMO it's not only the drums but everything about the engineering of the wings and the way it hinders articulation. Emil's solution would have been so much better

[Draego-Man]

Ok, thanks guys. I'll update the original post when I get a chance. Let me know if there is more.

And yes, I consider loose ankles to be a flaw.

[Captain Atkin]

Original He-Man, Wun-Dar, Mo-Larr and Beastman all have very loose ankles.

[barrasco]

I wouldn't consider stylistic options as flaws, as much as things like Tunderpunch He-man's tone look bad I wouldn't put it in the same bag. As far as the loose ankles go, it's not something , sure it's a symptom of bad engineering, but I also wouldn't consider them a flaw since they are not widespread. My list goes like this:

1. He-Man (First Issue) - reversed shoulders (though they did correct them afterwards)
2. The Goddess - cracking articulation
3. Adora - badly looking leotard (engineering flaw)
4. She-Ra - hard plastic skirt hinders articulation, unable to sit on Swiftwind
5. Roboto - cracking chest piece, reversed shoulders
6. King Hiss - revered shoulders
7. Snout Spout - foam trunk cracks (can't hold up to the action feature)
8. Sorceress - huge drums for wing attachment (awful engineering)
9. Stinkor - reversed forearms
10. Vykron - blastic
11. Mekaneck - blastic
12. Dragon Blaster Skeletor - blastic
13. Snake Men - blastic
14. Frosta - where to begin?
15. Temple of Darkness Sorceress - huge drums for wing attachment (awful engineering)
16. Stondar and Rokkon - badly engineered leg bands
17. Octavia - badly looking leotard (engineering flaw)
18. Shokoti - badly looking leotard (engineering flaw)
19. Sky High - oversized armor/vest/whatever you want to call it (awful engineering which hinders articulation)
20. Sea Hawk - oversized armor/vest/whatever you want to call it (awful engineering which hinders articulation)
21. Glimmer - badly looking leotard (engineering flaw)
22. Hyrdon - oversized armor/vest/whatever you want to call it (awful engineering which hinders articulation)
23. Goat Man - oversized armor/vest/whatever you want to call it (awful engineering which hinders articulation)
24. Blade - Missing paint apps on sword, only comes with one vintage sword
25. Extendar - oversized armor/vest/whatever you want to call it (awful engineering which hinders articulation)
26. Double Trouble - awful engineering
27. NA Skeletor - reversed shoulders, oversized armor/vest/whatever you want to call it (awful engineering which hinders articulation)

These to me are the legit flaws in need of correction because they are widespread to each of the respective figure's run.

[Battle Ram Man]

Both Ram Man & Two Bad have uneven legs. Loose joints affect a lot of figures, but particularly I think Moss Man? It's hard to say.

Also, a lot of Mantennas have paint coming off at the neck, or broken mouth piece connectors.

Most of these flaws don't ruin the figures, but some (NA Skeletor) do.

[Draego-Man]

I agree, but it still shows the lack of quality control.

[Draego-Man]

List has been updated.

With regards to loose ankles, I've only listed the two King Grayskulls as in there case the ankles frequently break. I think otherwise loose ankles are not breaking. Still a problem, but too systemic to list... imagine that hey, a problem so deep that we are willing to overlook it when we are paying top dollar for these figures.

Also, this doesn't even get into problems with DR, international shipping prices, sub holders missing Fisto etc. etc. etc.

[Draego-Man]

Just added Filmation Hordak as well.

[Novelty]

Add Prince Adam, no sword holder on his vest. Scorpia - cheap bendy tail with no articulation. Battle Lion scale. Moss man not a bath toy. Keldor no MYP double sword (fixed with weapons pack). Hyper anime Count Marzo. Thundercats carnivus. Cartoony buzz-off. Webstor "just like you remember it".

[Novelty]

Ah, someone who discovered the line late google toy guru and not a bath toy or toy guru and just as you remember it

[Mechanizor]

Moss-Man losses his flock once soaked with water, the glue on him get easily diluted...
What's up with Webstor? Yes it doesn't have a playing feature like the old toy had, but he's one of the good figures IMO. Also I like Marzo's hair. ;-)

[Draego-Man]

I get nothing googling that. I joined the line in late 2010.

[Emiliano]

Adam was a genuine accident. The sword holder got lost during shipping to the factory.
Still Mattel could have cross checked a test shot with the 4H...

[Novelty]

According to Scott it arrived but they didn't realised it was supposed to fit on his back so they left it out at least that's what I remember him saying

[Mechanizor]

Yeah I remember something was mentioned before, but I wasn't totally sure. Thanks for bring it up.

[Draego-Man]

Accident or not, they still screwed it up

[MegaGearMax]

28. Battleground Evil-Lyn - Reversed Forearms

That was done on purpose. Fans didn't like the Vintage art looking reversed bracers on Teela and yellow Evil-Lyn, so Mattel made them reversible on Battleground Evil-Lyn.

What is wrong about Battleground Evil-Lyn is that she has the wrong leotard on -- the opposite of what the fans asked for.

[Mechanizor]

Oh great, more blunders that I haven't noticed before!

[GREP-A-TOR]

Thank you for doing this. This list is long, long overdue and I hope someone will post it over at that other website.

I was worried that there would be too much picking nits, but even worse, the genuine mistakes and faults make up a large portion of the line.

I have not opened my TWO-BAD yet, but some complain about the heads being too close together and the cheap "straight down the middle" paint app as cost cutting.

NA Skeletor - Fat Armor syndrome as well as a poor design choice to make his "skin" into armor.

Flogg - cheaped out and made helmet part of head instead of removable.

[Captain Atkin]

Two Bad is a great figure. The only issue I have with him is the hard shield, as the wrist handle will scratch the paint on the arm. They should have use a softer material for his shield to prevent this.

[Shawn]

Two-Bad is an amazing sculpt. he literally made me sing and dance. (sooo happy together...) However he is DEEPY flawed. They can't look each other eye to eye like the vintage or 200X figure. I don't think that is a "design change" I think that is a flaw because somebody forgot to take that into account when making a new one.

His 200X weapon was a single tool with no paint apps. His 200X 200X weapon was like a pair of scissors and had paint apps. Is this a flaw, a design change or cheapening out? When is a flaw a flaw when is it not?
my shield looked like somebody chewed on it. It won't even clip onto his arm much less rub the paint off which is what all the shield clips do. A handle that they could grip unto would have fixed this issue. This is a line wide systematic failure IMO. Mini Masters get handles...

[GREP-A-TOR]

A problem for many figures up to mid 2012 - I am not sure though - is the mold release eventually seeping out on figures still MOSC that looks like a white fungus.

Here is another list at that other website that will assist in finding additional widespread flaws.

http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/showthread.php?168296-MOTUC-Quality-Control-Problems-%28Catch-All-Thread%29

[JimPansen]

Battle Ground EvilLyns arms are not reversed. They actually added an articulation point and you're now able to swifel the bracelets.

[JimPansen]

sorry dude, english is not my native language, but dont hesitate to correct me! Its the only way to learn ;-)
And yes i would remove her.

[Draego-Man]

No worries.

Swifel sounds like one of those room sweepers.

[JimPansen]

Lol! Yeah you´re able to swiffel her arms now ;-)

[MoViEfReAk]

She-Ra: hole in forehead Spikor: fat suit Marlena: evil queen facial expression Fisto: head way too small Faker: blackwash on armor doesn't fit the aesthetics of the rest of the line Catra: soft hand Snake Face: fat suit Kobra Khan: no orange Zodac blaster first King Randor: half painted loincloth Goddess: scratched paint He-Ro: crosseyed, paint peels off the sword Two Bad: fet too small

[Draego-Man]

I'll add these in thanks.

Jitsu's head is too small too.

[MegaGearMax]

Teela, Evil-Lyn and Goddess aren't faulty because of those vambraces...that is how they appeared on the Vintage boxart. But some fans didn't like how they looked, so Mattel fixed the problem with Battleground Evil-Lyn, by making them adjustable.

[Novelty]

MGM, I disagree. The illustration here has Teela with her left arm twisted such that the elbow is in an unnatural position. That's how I see it. The original vintage didn't look like this.

[Novelty]

MGM, I disagree. The illustration here has Teela with her left arm twisted such that the elbow is in an unnatural position. That's how I see it. The original vintage didn't look like this.

[Matthew L. Martin]

I'm not convinced that "doesn't interchange with Man-E-Faces" on Double Trouble is a design flaw--the vintage figure didn't, and I don't think anyone ever designed or promoted the figure with that figure. It, and a few other things, seem like complaining for the sake of complaining.

[Mechanizor]

I also don't think the interchangeability between MEF and DM/DD is an issue by itself, after all you cannot interchange regular female heads with regular male heads.

[Draego-Man]

I've removed that, but left her on the list for other reasons. Thanks!

[Draego-Man]

Hope your not upset about my comment, I didn't mean it badly! Thanks for contributing bro!

[JimPansen]

Some of those flaws are quite subjective.
I dont absolve myself of that mistake, but it may get out of hand and ends up to be a highly dubious list.

[Shawn]

My Stratos doesn't have glue, so his wings are as free as a bird...If I take the puffy shirt off my Sea Hawk he looks like well, I don't want to be sexually explicit...LOTS of things are subjective, but Mattel has a lot of um how shall I put this..."accidents" ;-) I think we ought to just throw em all out there and see what the majority agree with instead of worry about what is or isn't "dubious".

[JimPansen]

My opinion has not changed. If you include every thing,even if its just a matter of taste, you reduce the list to absurdity.

[Draego-Man]

Ok, updated to include the latest observations. Also reorganized by order of release.

I've removed the "vambrace controversy" as there seems to be disagreement on that.

Also not included is "Faker: blackwash on armor doesn't fit the aesthetics of the rest of the line" as I think this is too subjective. I never noticed anything.

BA Faker on the other hand is made from really cheap plastic that is clearly very different from the rest of the line, so do people want him included?

Also "Kobra Khan: no orange Zodac blaster", he did come with a blaster, but I've included him for his jacked up elbows.

[Draego-Man]

86 Figures. Good god. This line is just problem after problem after problem. Basically ZERO quality control on an adult collector line. When you show it for what it is, it is pretty shocking. Why do I spend my hard earned money on this line again?

[GREP-A-TOR]

Can someone please post this on the other website? I want to see the shit-storm or apologists and Mattel trolls defend this list.

Perfect time to put this on Mattycollector as well.

[Draego-Man]

I wish I could. lol. I'm banned at both websites... mainly for assembling things such as this. Ok, so I also trolled a little at the ORG, but at Matty I was banned for asking legitimate questions.

Add a non-Filmation head to Frosta. No ice weapons or slide either.

Ice slide. Frosta could have been a great character to include some translucent "ice" weapons, blast effects or items with. But she got shafted. Icer, however, did come with an ice weapon.

Oh yes, I see. An ice slide like in the cartoon. I think that would have been too much to include and they would make excuses about the price point.

A little off topic, but did you ever have the 1991 Iceman from Toybiz? That thing was awesome. His Ice Sleed was shaped so you could fill the bottem with water so you could make an ice cube and the figure it self changed colors when put in the freaker! Because of the heat of California weather I use to pretend that Superman evaporated him hahah! SO MUCH FUN! They recalled it because of a fear of lead paint or something so it's a variant that is HTF.
