How can the quality be this bad?

While I am passing on most of the 5POA figures due to their lack of appeal to me, I can’t help but look at the terrible paint applications many of these figures have (when you can actually find them, that is).  Example being the Mission Series Obi Wan Kenobi… I’ve seen 8 samples in person so far, and of those, maybe 1 had a decent paint job on the face.

We see terrible paint apps on a lot of the Black Series figures too – such as the Stormtrooper, which looks hideous.  Does Hasbro even care anymore?  Will this start getting better with Rebels?  Share your thoughts in the forums.
