the majority of QC problems are the result of
1: designers are not familiar with the limitations of pad printing and painting technologies when it comes to the designs of toys. Theres a reason all my 'western' releases are 'limited' in coverage and complxity, I know what can and cat be printed/paint matched over a curve or area of volume,over an undercut, etc and deisgn accordingly...and I have almost no QC problems over literally hundreds of different releases.
2: Remote location of manufacture. IE: there is NO ability to have an 'inspector' that works for say the american company at the location in China where the toys are made. Everyone except for ToyR, which IS near the factories and whose owners DO speak the local Han dialect can 'effectively' (that is threatened, wheedle or bribe) a decent quality product. That is why Toy2r stuff is usually the best of all quality of chinese manufacture..cause raymond can get on the phone, chew ass and then go over the border that day to see whats up.
Other people cannot do that.
3: Rotocasting itself is the CHEAPEST possible way to make stuff, it is the only reason any of these toys exist at all. Even the best manufacturing plants are really really primitive with basically, unskilled peasants making the toys. They do not care,, and the average 'run' of toys is small potatoes to a manufacturing plant.
to just blindly blame 'KR'..or whoever is idiotic.
YOU try getting shit like this made, and come back to me wjen it works out 'perfect'.
