That could well be. I just don't know why, as the event went on, that someone working the booth couldn't go, "You know, that figure there looks really dumb, his chestplate is all over the place. Here, let me fix his costume" and take the figure and reassemble, and pose him right. THEN PUT HIM BACK IN THE DISPLAY.
I could NOT just sit by and let a favorite character of mine stand there looking bad. no! I'd have to fix him. That is just me.
Its not rocket science. All it takes is a little care about the product - or even, about the character! And a little eye for detail. Voila, fixed!
It speaks well for the quality of HT's products that the figures looked as good as they did, costume pieces askew and poses straight out of the pit of Hell. If I were HT management I would be furious at how my product had been handled, at this most important of shows.
