I just pre-ordered the Neca Catwoman. Only after that I started seeing a lie of negative Neca reviews.
How fucked am I? Should I cancel my pre-order?
Well you haven't seen any negative reviews on the Catwoman so there's no need to worry too much yet.
NECA has a had a pretty spotty history of QC and shady factories pumping out subpar product, but have been generally moving in a good direction the last couple of years. I'm a lot more comfortable buying NECA now than I used to be.

Heat treat joints before you move them for the first time on NECA figures and you're fine. That's a blanket statement for all their stuff. If you don't you're in for bad time if it's a subpar QC issue. Lately QC hasn't been a problem with them though.

Keep in mind Neca toys are 20-30 while most other 'collector' quality toys are 50-60 or more. You get what you pay for.

You will be fine as long as you treat plastic as plastic and don't start manhadling stuck joints that may have frozen while in packaging.
The 1/4 scale Stuff is pretty durable so you shouldn't really have much of anything to worry about with her.

It's your own fault for believing so much stupidity in the first place honestly.

>You get what you pay for.
This is not true in 98.9% of cases.
Almost all Japanese toys are overpriced 2-3x over.
Hasbro's QC makes their toys overpriced for what you get.
NECA's QC is almost the same way.
Mattel rips you the fuck off.
There are very few lines and toy companies that actually give you your money's worth.
Here's a figure from the last year Hasbro was actually giving us our money's worth.

The catwoman is $120 though. At least in my country.

I pre ordered her too. I have the NECA Penguin and love it. No real complaints from me.

That's an MU figure and i've never had a problem with any of mine doing anything like that, and the threads on /toy/ never talked about that.
