Gundam Universe RX78-2. Pretty poseable and a bunch of accessories for half the price or so of a Robot Spirits figure.

I got the Hasbro Selects Ricochet in the mail today. (That's the redeco or PotP Jazz.) And holy shit, what the actual fuck. I have never had a Hasbro toy with joints THIS loose before. I'm not even slightly joking. Maybe mine's a one off, but the legs were super wobbly, the chest clips was also super loose, meaning to lift the arms up meant his entire torso flipped apart. And where the chest piece connects to the window is not that secure. I had some finger nail polish around to secure it all... But this was ridiculous!

From what I read, and my own experience, QC for Selects is all over the place. My Lancer had loose joints also and my Astro Shockwave's extra bits can't form the sled because the shoulder pads fit so loosely. On the flip side, my Smokescreen was ok.

Yeah, my Ricochet didn't have any real issues any more than my Jazz did.

Well, I'm glad to know mine was just an odd ball out. But damn did it piss me off.
(I've been wanting a new Ricochet for years and this was the result!)

I've noticed a lot of manufacturing variance in recent years. I just picked up some Titans Return deluxes and Skullcrusher can barely stand. Loose ball joints are fixable, but some things aren't. Small deviations in parts that make shit not quite line up when transforming. I've even cut decent size chunks of gate off here and there. It's ridiculous. I know it's kind of a trap to hearken back to the "good old days", but I do not remember shit in the BW/RiD era, or even the Unicron Trilogy era ever being like this.
