It looks like some GIJoeCon 2018 figures have some unplanned battle scars…
At last night’s Golden Ticket package pickup, Brian Savage had to make an announcement regarding a quality control issue that was discovered in the sets that arrived in Chattanooga. It would appear that the paint app for Major Bludd’s moustache was omitted during production. It was present on the Club’s samples but lacking in the final product. However, there’s more…
It would seem that some of the Laser Viper’s are also missing the paint apps on one of their eyes. (Maybe they looked into the laser when they shouldn’t have?) The figure I examined last night appeared to be fine but this is a pretty widespread issue.
Fear not: the Club is going to make this right for those who purchased a convention set. At some point in the future, new heads will be sent out for both Major Bludd and the Laser Vipers to those who purchased them directly through the Club. For those of you who are purchasing the figures on eBay or through a third party, be aware that this issue exists and ask your seller if they’re willing to also provide you with the replacement heads.
Now if only they’d fix that stupid right arm on Major Bludd…
Lastly, until I can get my set in hand tonight, here’s a few quick pics I shot on the con floor last night.
And now you know…
