I'm not sure where they come from though. Seem like getting some figurines from certain shops result in frequent crap quality, while getting from others result in better quality. Maybe it's just me.

Go into it with both eyes open and once you're in it, keep one eye closed. ;) It’s a bit like getting married. Go into it with both eyes open and once you’re in it, keep one eye closed. ;)

A collector's bane indeed. Just a queston though, are the figures you mention from the big 4 manufacturers? (ie Alter, GSC, MaxFac or Kotobukiya?) Were the figures China direct imports (legit of course) or routed from Japan? Your experience will vary according to your answers. :) I know exactly what you mean. A collector’s bane indeed.

Barely anything is made in Japan anymore. Just because the nationality of the sweatshop workers is Chinese doesn't mean the stuff they make is crap. After all, the QC and SOPs are still set by Japanese. This is a good example of how Japanese soft culture has brainwashed people worldwide into thinking Japan is the number 1 alpha race.
