Check your retro figures before you buy them

[trekman101]

I have read a lot of posts about the Mattel Retro action figures and quality control....so this is my advice.............there are variations out there,so know which one you want(not sure if it's running changes....lazy workers in China....bad quality control people....or just the factory trying to rush them out the door)....... I have been very patient about taking the time to check the figures....making sure they are the variations I want....little or no oil problems......costumes ok.....loose stringing(which isn't that hard to notice in the bubble...just shake them,also I have noticed if they are strung loose they hunch over,strung to tight and the legs really bow,strung not to tight or loose and they stand just fine)...have no broken parts....and the over all quality is good.All the ones I have bought are mint(and I'm anal about that).Just take your time...be patient and you will have no problems

I wish I had looked a little closer at my Lex Luther...I would have noticed all the pulls(6)in the Legs of his Costume.
