I think the weak point of the new elbow joint is on the additional pivot joint. It's nice to have additional articulation point, albeit at the risk of it breaking completely, like OP's report. Add that over-engineered joint with forearm swapping gimmick, and you have a recipe for disaster.

The OP's report was why I didn't pull the trigger on this figure. I don't think the risk of complete breakage is worth one additional minor articulation point. It might work on the knee. But on the elbow? I don't think so.
