What are some fuckups that toy companies have made, big or small? Can also be ones that you never see anyone else mention.

Considering they do injection molding you be having a lot more labor intensity of sanding and smoothing everything out. If we are talking a grey scale you paint 100% yourself, I wager it'll be slightly cheaper in cost but all the extra work cancel out any sense of gaming the system.

Genuinely Funko for oversaturating their own market and overproducing so much they had to dump millions worth of stock just to get rid of it and save on storage cost.
Had to get it out of the way carry on

I can speak to this because I had a friend actually print using these files, it works build wise, but the joint strength isn't there because it's made for KPS/PS rather than resin/3d Printed material. Mind you with glue and paint it would stick better, but it was still nowhere near Bandai level.

I'm waiting to see some Chinese guy make a 1/100 Rising Freedom using the data.

Not really a screw-up, more bad timing. BBI released this figure and then a couple of weeks the Columbine Massacre happened with the guys dressed identical.

Completely a coincidence until some Karens saw it and had a fit needing to being on the news about how outraged she was.

That's actually 21st Century Toys. They did a whole line of villains, but Armed Terrorist was definitely the most infamous. Walmart's lackadsisical return policy and the downturn in '08 is what eventually killed them, though.

Any 1/100 is not happening as a result of those files because bootlegging the kit as a normal model kit from runners requires they 3dscan the actual runners because they need to know relatively where the injection molding points are. They can't make a profitable bootleg if they need to actually do work in figuring out how to make the mold from the cad files since they are sub-assemblies already in the CAD.

The transition to remove plastic from packaging to be replaced with what felt like knock-off packaging, then trying to excuse the renders not matching the figures, then the backpedaling back to plastic covers again was great.

Lego almost bankrupted itself in the late 90s because of a variety of factors. Basically they didn't keep track of anything.

MOTU Classics Roboto had his shoulders reversed. There were a couple of other figures that had the same issue, but weren't as noticeable as Roboto who has tech detailing running from the shoulder to the bicep.

The shoulders might look OK but when you move them they rub against the torso by the collar bone area which resulted in it cracking. That was the real problem. Visually it was fine as long as you didn't move the arms. That's not though the purpose of an ACTION figure.

You know what's a great example of dumb GPS? When Bandai of America brought the Jogress Omegamon toy to the states for the Tamers line they used the same fragile gold plastic. Both Japanese and US copies tend to be broken sealed.

At least, my credit card company got me a refund. I didn't even have to return the plastic junk but the only really usable thing was the back pack, which I gave to my next door neighbor's daughter to use on a Barbie type doll since why do I need a beige back pack for any of my other collectibles?

I mean, not painting things on the back of figures is lazy AND cheap as fuck, but things like this and the boot fuck ups and other similar shit they do with wrist bracers, cuffs, etc., the tiny fucking hands from re-use on the Wally West Kid Flash they finally pushed out - McFarlane was the king of fuck-ups with all the minor and not so minor shit they did just by being 'lazy' and CHEAP.

And a lot of it was hilarious!

it's also misunderstanding of the labor involved in making 3D prints. nearly ever 3D print topic for gunpla is someone asking "I broke/lost this part, can some 3D print me the part" as if someone has 3D modeled for free every model kit Bandai made.
