I hear 'ya. With mass production, some of the plastic figures can be malformed, which is one of the bigger annoyances for me. Artilley barrels should be straight, darn it! Is it soooo much to ask? Great suggestions were made on remedying that with hot water...I guess after being submerged in near boiling water, the plastic re-forms to proper shapes after a quick ice bath. I have to try that with my Memoir '44 figures...like, soon! Thanks for the tip on that Mates!
On paper, what irks me there is punching the counters out of their trees; and counters that are printed "outside of the lines," meaning the press misaligned, and some of the graphic ends up off the counter and onto the trees (what they're punched out of). And of course, a counter that tears when punched....after punching a few hundred counters, the eyeballs go a little screwy, the back starts hurting form your Hunchback of Notre Dame impression, and your hitherto all-the-patience-in-the-world attitude has long since given up the ghost, resulting in a little too much pressure at the wrong time.
