I implore you to read my previous posts where I elaborated on my conclusion why this IS:o an engineering problem.

I'm already aware of the issues you guys mentioned. Let's make apple-to-apple comparison on the one thing we're talking about:
the new joint system, notoriously the new elbow joint system.
Not Fourze Driver, wrist joints, hip joints. They're all different stories.

If that's the case, then it's great! I will pre-order the SHF SS Latoratah right away. :D

I'm Kitaoka Shuichi, THE Super Lawyer. :D:lol

Where? I've seen a lot of posts from you on this but I don't recall one where you gave your explanation.

In the attachment you can find 2 pictures for post #2, since TasteToy's website is currently in maintenance.

From what I can make out, your argument is that this is happening because the joint is thinner? I don't really think it's -so- small as to be an issue without QC issues, though.

Yes.
To be precise:
the joint's components, since they split the actual joint into 2 components.

So, you're placing the new joint system in the lower hierarchy of culprits, below manufacturing issues and QC issues?

As far as I know, you CANNOT make something smaller & more complex without INCREASING FRAGILITY.
ALL materials have their strength LIMIT.
All materials, no exception.
Even POM plastics, the time tested industrial material that can be considered THE toughest of all plastics, have its limit.
Basically, they use up all the material's strength, pushing it closer to its fatigue limit.
The new joint system has no REDUNDANCY in strength.
Redundancy is, from risk management standpoint, your only INSURANCE against total failure.

Using this reasoning, THE ultimate rational question to ask is:
"What is the WORST CASE SCENARIO (aka WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN) when the material DO reach its strength limit?"

The answer is clear:
TOTAL STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE.

Perhaps you can Google the term "fragility detection"?

I did, and you're still not saying anything worth a damn.

If it was as simple as the post being too small, every SHF's wrists would be at risk. There's nothing inherent to the joint design itself that makes it doomed to destruction, otherwise every single OOO figure would have that problem.

You rant for pages and post memes like you think it's self-explanatory, but you haven't offered a shred of real evidence beyond the simple fact that some broke, therefor all must break forever into the future, and that Bandai will intentionally release time bombs going forward with no regard to feedback or reports of breakage.

Do you realize how utterly loony you sound? Screaming about "DISASTERS" and shouting down at anyone who even attempts to approach the conversation with a level head, I'd almost think you were being facetious.

Please read my 2 previous posts.
The weak point is NOT the metal post.

And could you please refrain yourself from ad hominem attacks?
Thank you.

I unfortunately have.

I didn't say it was.

My point is, this is hardly the first time this kind of joint has ever existed. It is not a design flaw, or at least not one that can never ever be amended within the joint's design. You are literally saying every figure ever to use this joint design are doomed to fail, but it is not, we have evidence it is not, and you have zero evidence this will be a problem on future SHFs.

Reason and rational deduction tells us, however, that in the face of so many reports of breakage Bandai will adjust their design/production going forward, especially as the SS line is heavily promoted as one of their most high-end product lines. It's silly to assume theoretical figures that haven't even been announced yet will suffer from breakage when we have only one release with these new elbows so far.

The very instant you stop shouting down at everyone who disagrees with you, I will.

Oops
 

Oops, my bad.:D
I misinterpreted the word "post" you wrote as the metal posts/axles of the new joint system, while what you meant was the wrist joint. :lolol
