The squeaky wheel gets the oil. I'd really like to know the production and sale numbers on him, referring to how many were made and how many were returned to their original point of sale.

How you not know about waist snappage?! I posted it in my
thread 
So you know, the issues with mine are as follows:
Shoulders that were loose. Fixed with new sockets provided in package.
Fingers randomly popping off. Fixed with floor polish.
Loose inner leg panels. Fixed with replacement parts from BBTS, June 2015.
Waist rotation joint snapped. Fixed with replacement parts from BBTS, October 2016.

The second run COULD have any of the issues, all of the issues, or none of the issues. It's really a roll of the dice, as it seems to be with any 3rd Party. This was a huge undertaking for X-TB, and the first one where their QC actually improved. Poor design and manufacturing choices aside, the figure is good overall. From what I've heard, Andras (Scourge) is amazing and Eligos (Cyclonus) is even better. With their redux of Ollie (Wheelie) I'm actually hoping they re-do Apollyon and offer a trade-in like they did with Ollie. I'm not sure what they'd change, but maybe they will change things that break easy.
