>>10835735There is no 'flawless' toy. Every toy will have flaws on it for sure. I'm more willing to accept flaws in a cheaper toy than more expensive toy. For example: I bought a $5 Rouge figure that came with two of the same wing. I went 'eh that stinks' and went back to buy a new one. However, I've also bought a figure for $35 that came warped in several spots with various loose and tight joints out of the package new. I didn't think that was acceptable at all. Toys are meant to be played with, yes, but there's a threshold for us where the quality should align with your perceived value. It is all about perspective. For some people $80 is the equivalent of a penny to others.
>metalThat is probably the issue for this instance. Assuming the OP picture is made of all metal, then the metal part for the face was probably produced flawed with lot of cavities. You have to do extra steps to correct that, and for an $80 figure they probably wouldn't go that far to fix a single figure. Cheaper made alloys with lots of impurities in them can have issues similar to that too. Without looking at how it was made, my guess is the alloy used is super cheap and had those unavoidable flaws during production, or they messed up the batch of parts during casting for that part.
