    (Haven't found a figure misassembled thread yet so tell me if there is already one)
    Ever had a figure with parts in the wrong place or two of the same parts, answer some experiences you've had.
    Some of my experiences include Combiner wars Deadend (two left hands) and Potp Rippersnapper (two left legs).

    I have one of those misassembled Masterpiece Ramjets from BBTS (they were selling them for 40 bucks IIRC) with backwards shoulder hinge parts. Apparently that was a common enough issue that BBTS (at the time) had a separate listing for the missassembled ones vs. the correctly assembled ones lol.

    I had the Hasbro Marvel Transformers Captain America but was shocked and disappointed to find that it had 2 of the same foot. Decent toy otherwise

    My UW Roller had 2 left shoulder, took me far to long to notice, my fix was to swap the shoulders from an extra hound I had, basically works.

    Studio Series Rampage had the center torso part put in backwards (common issue), PoTP Throne of the Prime Primal had two left thighs so he cant transform properly, TR Nautica had a tab put on backwards so it wouldn't fit together in vehicle mode.

    There are definitely more, I’ll add as I recall them. misassembly is usually harder for me to remember, cuz I fix them, I do tend to remember when they can’t be fixed oob like these though

    My first Universe 2.0 Sideswipe had two left ankles.

    The Seawing in my Seacons reissue set had a pin shot through his arm crooked.

    My Universe 2.0 Springer (that came with Ratbat) had the pin in his head/neck shout through crooked. Had to remove it and glue his head on. He also has two left thighs.

    Cybertron Ransack GTS had his head pinned on crooked. (Notice a pattern?) He’s fixed now.

    My Takara Legends Sonic Bomber came with two right hands.

    Prime Dreadwing has two left feet.

    The TF Crossfire Aerial Appendage set I bought had a couple wrong parts. The quarter-round ankle pieces don’t clip together because I have four male-ended pieces instead of two make and two female.

    I’ll edit this post to add more if I remember any.

    The smaller robot on my POTP Nemesis Prime came with two right legs.

    It was sold out and Amazon told me to just keep it and they refunded me the 49.99.

    I re-ordered it when it came back in stock like a few days later and the second copy was fine.

    If anybody wants to trade for a right leg, the offer is still open, lol :p :

    In 2015, I bought a MP-24 Star Saber. Saber came with two left arms.

    HLJ returned me the total cost of the figure, including the shipping cost to return the figure to Japan. Good service.

    My first MPM Megatron had one of his hip kibble pieces glued solid, which I didn’t notice until I turned it 180’. It’s a ball joint so I have no idea why it was glued. The one I exchanged it for has his head spike glued solid. I’m not fucking with it.

    Seige Six-Gun had his hip over glued, but I was able to free it. Common issue apparently.

    Got two identical hip pieces on my Iron Factory Vos, affecting nothing.

    Iron Factory Miko had a backwards wing, but I was able to push the pin out and fix it.

    Weirdest one is that my Masterpiece Clampdown has a Sideswipe head, instead of a black Red Alert head. He was preordered from BBTS so he’s not a KO. I know that there were a couple others besides mine, but just a handful. I’ll repurpose him as a different guy once I have a proper one.
