Mini Comic Wave 2

Anyone else's Beast biceps oddly smooth? There is slight sculpting there but it looks really weird considering how hairy he is everywhere else.

His arm popped off at the bicep, too, just posing him. It popped back on, but this is happening way too often.

My Beast's biceps pop off easily too, happened right out of the package. Just a short peg I think.

Unacceptable, especially given the price. You can imagine my glee at paying nearly $30 for 97 Emma Frost and having an arm fall off right out of the packaging, raised one of the legs to check the articulation and that came off too. This is the sort of thing that should be headed off at the pass by quality control (not unlike painting proper legs before releasing and saying "oh well").

I'm not convinced that the Hooded Cobra Commander everyone wants isn't already busy running Hasbro as a whole and the CEO isn't his puppet.
 
I gotta imagine Hasbro rushed much of this recent onslaught of product right out the door to beat the tariffs or whatever they were trying to do. Can't be good for quality control.

You're not wrong. I have a Medusa missing a boot cuff that needs to go back as a result.

The peg didn’t snap off, and the bicep was easy enough to pop back on. If it actually broke, then I’d be heated. But it was as easy as popping a head back on a neck peg. I’ve got other things to get worked up over.

Agreed. It is especially a problem when the shoulder hinge is super tight but the bicep connection is loose and gummy. Any attempt to articulate Werewolf By Night's shoulders results in his arms popping off and it makes posing him irtitating and joyless.
 
The Widow I ordered from Amazon said Dec 10, then a couple days ago bumped up to today, but then this morning it says Dec 10 again. Used it as an opportunity to just go ahead and cancel. I do want the figure, but I can hold off until it gets marked down. Realizing it doesn't come with two fists soured me on the figure more than you'd imagine.

She doesn't come with two fists? Mine just shipped, should be here Friday.

Unfortunately like Rachel, despite the promo pics showing two fists, one has been replaced with a C grip hand. Wish they'd replaced one of the splayed finger hands instead if they insist on shoehorning in a C grip.

Also unfortunately now my Widow shows shipped as of this morning despite still saying the 10th yesterday when I asked to cancel. Easy enough to return, but still annoying.

But how else would she hold her comic accessory? Who on Earth would prefer functionality over servicing that gimmick?

Note: I've bought three comic wave figures to date and have lost 2/3 mini-comics. They're with the lost socks and Christmas presents I bought too early, stowed, and said "I'll remember it's there."

It's funny, I didn't even notice Rachel only came with one fist because I had her displayed with the outstretched hands. Do not love them swapping functionality for the gimmick. I think I can make due (I think I've got the jacketed version with her gun hands instead of fists and can steal those parts?) but still very annoying.
