Hahaha!!! Sorry, but that was funny.

And yes, no company is perfect. You should see some of the complaints levelled at Hot Toys.
Their Han Solo (which I think is brilliant) gets slagged off as not accurate, and non representative of Harrison, etc. Actually, I can't recall any figure getting a collective thumbs up.
Heres a real time example. Last night: My mate asks to see the Hot Toys "Guardians of the Galaxy" Thanos figure. He takes it out of the box looks it over and says "It's a bit like a big toy" !!! I mean, it says as much in the company's name - HOT TOYS - These are toys, hi end or otherwise. Playmates Toys are toys.
We are (majority) adults who buy toys. Some companies do a good job, some are quite excellent.
I think that Playmate's strongest points involve the general sculpting, which in most cases is quite superb. Paint apps - I have given a lot of thought too. Litigation. For good or bad, there is a bad rep on paint in general here and it is not very well trusted. I can easily believe that Playmates put out a mandate that figures should contain limited paint, manufacturing parts as color correct as possible. I could be wrong.
Anyways, I still enjoy collecting these things
