No, probably closer to 40. But given it’s something that happened after production that’s pretty hard for hot toys to plan for.
I love how the conjecture here is presented as factual info. We cant begin to know any of these numbers. It’s all anecdotal at best and hyperbole at worst. We don’t know HTs production numbers. All the people who buy figures from them don’t post here. Guys with or without problems don’t post here. Just far too many variables to actually be speculating failure rates.
Just saying...it’s a circle jerk to really even guess.

Your right that not everyone posts here, or that not everyone posts if there is or isn’t a problem. If I just went by posts here it would be like 90%. And your right, we don’t have firm production numbers for figures. Doesn’t mean we can’t make educated estimates. I pick up cases of hot toys figures every so often and those cases give a decent idea what sideshows allotment of figures was, as they usually list total number of cases in a shipment from hot toys to Sideshow (or action city) and how many figures per case, and often the secret base figures are photographed as they are unloaded in their cases so you can get numbers from there as well. So it gives you at least a bare minimum. So there are ways to get an idea. Is it gonna be a perfect accounting of every figure, no. Does that mean it’s just made up with no basis, no.
As for the overall idea..you don’t need to have exact numbers of production or failure to come up with a generally accepted failure rate for mass produced items. Manufacturing statistics in a general sense are easy to find and estimate and there are industry accepted standards. It’s true for any industry.

It depends on the individual figure. For Thanos on throne is was two. For Star lord it was 6. For the mk6 and other dc it’s usually four it I recall correctly. For most the HPP suits it’s 6.

I kind of wish they avoided screws altogether. I've stripped a couple but managed to get them out, i just leave them out at that point since the plates usually stay in place without them in my situations.

Some are saying the chest piece is either not fitting securely or it’s not straight up and down.

so, I did some research and I am more relaxed now.
It seems it is NOT a perfect fit, there is some room in between the armor pieces in the movie too.
Thanks to IMDB.

And a pic of my own... I really like this figure. Overall design, articulations and looks, is awesome.

I'm still not sure what you mean by a 'perfect fit.' The design of the chest plate is like that.

Busted out my gang of Iron Men this weekend, plus a special guest cameo by another red Manhattan hero!
On a side note I gotta question about the Mk. 45. I posted it on that thread, but hasn't seem to be getting any responses, so I'll ask here too, a lil copy, paste action below...
I was tinkering around with some of the newer armors like Diecast Mk. 6, 46, and 47 and I couldn't help but notice that the 45's joints and overall articulating points seemed quite loose in comparison.
Is this the case for everyone else? Because in comparison to the newer ones (Mk. 6, 46, 47) they all have quite stiff joints and hold in place unless I purposely repose them. With the 45 it requires no effort for all the joints on the arms, legs, and torso to swivel, bend, rotate, etc. Is this how it is supposed to be or is this just getting looser because it's an older figure?
