I miss JNCOs. Pants you could stuff an entire George RR Martin paperback in the back pocket off and have room for your wallet

Oh, they wre basically paper. No argument there. Ever rip the cuff off one leg badly enough you caught your OTHER foot in the loop? I did. How did I survive childhood?I mean that’s fair but they did shred like y were made of tinsel. I bought a pair in 7th grade and they didn’t even make it to 8th grade. They were so baggy at the bottom I kept stepping on the cuffs and before I knew it, the bottoms of my pants look like I had wandered into an alligator pond.
Anyway sorry for the tangent

My wife got me that figure when it came out and I can't see myself ever getting rid of it. I'd love more hand options, but honestly it's practically a perfect rendition of the character. Totally agree that I can't see myself ever needing another version (at least until domestic action figures change so much that we look at Hasbro MLs from today the way we look at ToyBiz MLs from 2005).For me, War Machine is a one-and-done character. I think that first release knocked it out of the park, won't need another one ever.

Could this be a summer heat thing? Every few years, I feel like we collectively decide that Hasbro has beaten the gummy figure accusations only for them to come back around. I haven't had a gummy Legends figure in quite a while, though.Poor Felicia's like a Twizzler.
I think the legs were summer heat, because they're not bad a day or two later. The arms are just really thin and brittle-feeling - maybe I got a dud but they feel like completely different material. Maybe I got a dud though - the rest of the wave is perfect.Could this be a summer heat thing?

I have two Felicias. Posin' her up at my desk right now.I think the legs were summer heat, because they're not bad a day or two later.

Might buy a second one if I can find one. This one even has some weird thing going on with limited movement in her shoulder. Maybe I just got a lemon of a figure.I have two Felicias. Posin' her up at my desk right now.
Yours sounds like a dud. I can hold her hand and pose the entire arm from elbow to shoulder from that point without bend or any fragility. The arms are a different material, but no worse than any other Legend in reach.
Definitely happens. My original Lady Jaye had fused elbows to the level the joint may not have been there. I think that was like one of their first gos with pinless and double joints? But the next one and then the retros were fine.Might buy a second one if I can find one. This one even has some weird thing going on with limited movement in her shoulder.

Oh, the single figure I had the worst luck with was that Lady Jaye. I had to swap out five figures before I got one with two working elbows and working hip articulation. (Seeing a trend that I seem to bad luck into bad QC specifically on my favorite female characters.)Definitely happens.

The GI Joe bicep issue some figures had. Usually it's biceps twisting off, for me.
My original Firestar had knees that tore through out of the box. Replaced it, no issues. When my QC misses, it misses.
I think it's worth getting another Felicia and comparing.
