- Leangle's left fist broke off at the joint as I was removing to swap it out for another fist. The ball is now stuck in there and I'll have to pry it out somehow to get another hand in.

- Leangle's left elbow snapped off as well; the joint isn't completely broken (I can try reattaching it and it loosely hangs onto the pin at the elbow), but yeah that'll be fun trying to superglue it or something.

- Blade Jack Form's left elbow also snapped off while popping on one of the other fists - on this one, it completely broke off.

Yikes. At least I didn't pay much for it. There were no signs of stressing at the elbows either, as far as I could tell, and I wasn't using excessive force or anything; they just broke/ripped off. It's too bad, each figure looks great. I haven't tried moving the right elbows too much so I don't know if those are at risk of breaking either.

From my understanding all of the Blade figures are really fragile, especially Leangle. I've heard that most of them break immediately out of the box.
