Changed line(s) 51 (click to see context) from:

* The first line of ''Resident Evil'' action figures from the early 2000's were, to put it charitably, very lazily made. For background, each pack came with 2 figures (except the Tyrant figure, but more on him in a bit), usually a larger character or monster, and a smaller mini-monster. The Chris figure's arms would fall off if you so much as looked at them funny, because the socket in the shoulders was larger than the ball joint in the torso, the molds for the dog zombie's skin (a feature of the dog was that if you pushed his head down, he'd "explode") were not cut properly, so the pieces fit awkwardly. The Tyrant figure boasted a "deadly claw swipe" action, which amounted to a rubber band in his torso that would frequently come undone ''while in the package'', as well as a beating heart action which amounted to nothing more than a button which would pump red liquid into a transparent plastic heart. Also, I don't know if this was a widespread problem, but my Tyrant had two left feet..literally. Thankfully, they company got their act together with the next line (based on Resident Evil 2), which was far and away the superior toy line. IN FAIRNESS, however, it must be pointed out that the detail work on the monsters was top notch throughout the entire line, even the disastrous series 1.

For background, each pack came with 2 figures (except the Tyrant figure, but more on him in a bit), usually a larger character or monster, and a smaller mini-monster. This troper had the Chris Redfield/Zombie Dog, Forest Speyer/Maggot Zombie and Tyrant figures.
