If interested, you may now also find a close-up of the head piece here:

Wow!

If the piece wasn't malformed/misshapen, I'd pay big money
to buy that head!

Obviously not the response you were hoping for.  :^)

I can't judge from the photos how bad the printing on the torsos
of the figures is.

I've been hoping that the gold paint used in the print on the
re-release minifigs won't wear off as easily as it did on
the original minifigs.  I have so many "crossed-axe" torsos
with the gold rubbed off.  It seems like a single day of
carrying a figure around in a pocket was enough to wipe off
a lot of the gold paint.

I would accept some blurriness in return for the paint not
wearing off.  ie, if the new printing methods improve the
resiliency of the paint in exchange for some blurriness, I think
I won't mind.  But do the torsos look *really* bad?

Perhaps a scan zoomed WAY in on both an old and a new torso
would show the differences.

(...) No - he's not chaning his argument, he's just adding new ones as new info comes available. I was about to post about the latest bad quality on .lego.direct but Ben has beaten me by a few hours and mentioned it on this thread about Legends. (...)
