How come collector's figures/figures aimed at older people ship with major problems like poor sculpt, bad paint, poor articulation, or articulation that exists but is hindered by adjacent sculpt, or that can't hold their accessories as intended, or that can't even stand up, etc.

Surely the people in charge of designing these things are enthusiasts themselves and know what they would want in a figure, right? I don't think it's as simple as cutting corners for production costs when the fundamental design of the figure is so bad.

Might we have any industry people in here who could shed some light on how these ostensible design oversights make it through Quality Assurance?
