that lately with these new rubberized bodies coming out that hot toys seems to be taking some shortcuts on quality with certain things, now before the flame war begins hear me out. I'm a newb in a sense that I have only four different hot toys with my first being the big chap alien, then joker, then wesker and finally chris. Now when I bought the alien it was for 130 at the time and when the hand peg snapped off because some of the rubber jammed the peg in it didn't bother me as much or the fact that I have to put it back in the box because it didn't have a stand to keep it from tipping over with any vibration, then I got the deluxe joker which was very well done and although the parts were fragile it held together almost perfectly.
Now we come to wesker, apparently version 1 with the snake eyes instead of the red eyes. I would have preferred the red eyes but the snake eyes are growing on me, now first off the feel of the jacket is just off, I through they would have gotten some sort of rubberish material so that it felt like a ribber jacket but I can live with that, then I noticed the back of the head was slightly discolored, but I can live with that, then I learned how you had to nearly pop the head off to turn the teeny tiny switch to light up the eyes, once again I can live with that, then the knife holster broke, once again I can live with that since i'm not planning on selling wesker but now we get to chris which is the newest member of my collection and was only released recently, now I spent two hours painstakingly putting the accessories that are supposed to go with the figure on, here is what I am beginning to find as really annoying, first off the left hand can barely stay in, enough movement and the hand pushes itself out of the socket and had already fallen off twice, the accessories have to be carefully woven onto the belt, the earphone won't stay on, I finally managed to jammed in into the ear so it doesn't pop out the back, the compass broke while trying to slide it onto the belt, the knife holder peeled off while trying to place it on the back(literally peeled off I could see the adhesive stretching, couldn't hold and wound up falling off), the Velcro sections are actually peeling off because the Velcro is too strong for the adhesive used, the BSAA emblems fell off, I had to reapply them, not to mention articulation, what the photos don't show you is that you can only pose chris in those formations, anything else is extremely limited. Now sorry for that wall of text but I needed to vent, essentially I have noticed over the past 4 figures that quality on the figures is increasing but the quality of the accessories and posabillity of these figures is drasticallly being reduced. This is why I am seriously concerned about getting anything beyond the t-800 coming out shortly. I want to find out if anyone else has noticed this so I am not alone on this.

And that is a pretty consistent issue with this figure.
