...oy. I adjusted my Rider display this weekend (giving all the Rider swords/bladed weapons if they had them) and it was a slaughter. Three of my Figuarts broke:

- The handle on Ryuki's DragVisor snapped and part of it disintegrated. I'd removed it from the hand molded to hold it so I could use one of his optional hands on that side, and I'd wondered at the time if doing so had been a mistake. The plastic on the hands was incredibly stiff and substantially harder than the plastic for the handle. SNAP. $80 Figuart damaged beyond the ability of glue to fix.

- The sword mode of Shinkocchou Seihou Decade's Ride Booker met a terrible end. As I worked on getting it into his hands for a proper holding-sword-with-both-hands pose, the handle snapped off. Prognosis: maybe fixable with superglue, but I'd need to be ginger with it.

- The saddest of these was Shinkocchou Seihou W's normal-sized scarf. Whereas I'd been fiddling with having hands interact with an accessory on other figures, with the scarf, I was just rotating it. SNAP. The scarf came off the ball joint. I may be able to superglue it back, but given the size of the snapped connection point and the weight of the scarf, it seems likely to break again.

Sad trombone!
