I did notice the fragility of the joints and have since started using a "technique" in switching the arms. Basically, one hand holds onto the joint tight while the other holds onto the arm and slowly twist it out. Holding the joint means preventing the swivel at the elbow and stopping from turning somewhere it shouldn't as I twist the elbow. Though, I'm more worried that articulating elbow up is what will actually break the joint and I'm tryna look for ways to maybe loosen the tight elbow slightly.
Also, I've devised a suggested fix to anyone who might come across. Might it be possible to switch the elbows with a black Body-Kun's and so revert the elbows into standard SHF joints?
I'm sure other collectors whose SHF SS OOO have broken joints also
use this "technique"
(read: tiptoe on a glass table). No fun at all, right? It makes figure playing feel like operating a highly sensitive complex machinery that will blow up the whole facility if handled wrong (or simply if you're unlucky). More importantly, it will NEVER eliminate the source of fragility: the dang over-complicated, over-engineered, unnecessarily complex new joint system. Combine this joint system with manufacturing defect (like Kurona mentioned above), material & tolerance variance/inconsistency (the tightness of adjacent joints you mentioned above), and other unpredictable factors such as temperature, package handling while shipping, etc, and the possibility of
breakage
(read: system collapse) WILL increase in an accelerated manner WAAAYYY above expectation. This is exactly what Nassim Nicholas Taleb call "the turkey problem".
I don't think you can replace the elbow joints with the ones from Body-Kun. I think the size is different. And also why would the buyers spend more money to fix the
problem
(read: "solution" to a non-existent "problem") created by the manufacturer? It also pretty much defeat the point of having the new joint system in the first place, right? SMH Bandai.
I just hope someone with high authority at Bandai will come to their senses and reverse this abysmal decision for the next releases.
