[QUOTE="Joe, post: 263120, member: 440"] I'd put my neck out and disagree on that one to a certain extent. I think both Palitoy and Kenner actually were bothered with QC issues and while you can find unpainted figures or bubbles up the wrong way etc cases like that are still in the minority. I'd guess you probably see one error figure in every thousand or so good figures (both loose and carded) which is also the reason error figures are sought after and coveted by collectors today, they are something different and reminds us that everyone is human. As for miscards - everyone always talks about the hectic Trilogo period and the masses of Trilogo miscards when discussing QC efficiency but in reality those weren't QC errors at all, they were all deliberately packed like that to get rid of overstock. A true QC error miscard (Kenner or another company) is a real hard find. I can think of only a handful of genuine ones out there. It's logical that if there was a faulty batch that did get through the issue would probably be with the card though because a card fault would probably be easiest to miss (minor blemishes or print errors etc) and also it was printed packaging that didn't really effect the toy itself, so yes I do agree that even Mattias could be wrong but it is still the only card observation that appears to be a link between unused backers being used by Toni, ones that differ to store stock. With that said, Dave's Trilogo sheet definitely proves that the QC guys weren't letting any old junk through - it was rejected because the back was all messed up and they still didn't let it go through even if it was going in the bin once the kids had opened their figures up. They definitely had standards and always tried to turn out quality product, even when it got hectic towards the end. The "real" errors are actually things like double packing weapons or missing weapons not stuff like miscards. [/QUOTE]
