That's odd - the set I got a while back were very well done. I wonder if they are using molds that are getting old?
Possibly. The barrel clusters of both guns in my pack had large amounts of excess/overspill resin, air bubbles and were bent and buckled. The bean can affair at the end of the barrels was just a non-descript blob. Completely useless. Given that they took weeks to arrive, I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of sending them back and complaining.
Off topic but at a place I used to work as a test technician the QA tech and I caught the production manager packing raw, unmachined and scrap castings into boxes during lunch break, for dispatch to customers to meet his schedule for a major order. Another time we had a global customer audit us because they had received a pallet of packed and signed as completed scrap, i.e. the items even had spray ink highlighting the defects the items had been scrapped for. The there was the time that a director called the entire workforce together and abused us for letting substandard product through to the UK that we had to send someone over to rework the entire batch, the trouble is, again the defect had been identified, a fix approved (changing the machining profile to remove the defect which was casting flash) and the production manager overruled QA and engineering and pushed them through as is so as not to lose time. Even worse, further investigation into how the issue occurred showed that the die was meant to be removed and refurbished but the production manger over ruled the Foundry production superintendent and left it in production, assuring everyone he would simply machine the defect off in the machine shop.
One lazy incompetent baby boomer c, protected by his big brother who was a director and another lazy incompetent baby boomer c, almost single handedly destroyed a companies reputation.
