The proof is in the pudding. The multiple breakage cases are already bad omen. These aren't merely bad luck, material defects or bad manufacturing. These are built-in systemic failure. Now they break. They are staring at you. They prove something is VERY WRONG with the new joint system.

I'm merely warning the customers who plan to purchase those figures. I'm just positioning myself as a rational consumer. Do I gain something here? No, I don't. I never advertise any other alternative products. Do I lose something here? Nope, I don't either. I'm already short on Bandai's long. It's not a major problem to me, as I haven't purchased (and will not purchase) any SHF SS with the new joint system, however desirable they are to me. It's more like uh... facepalm. On the other hand, I'd feel damned for my whole life if I saw someone (that is, Bandai) making a catastrophic decision (three in this case, or perhaps four, as several days ago they teased the SHF SS OOO Latorata Combo) and did NOT warn them.

Because right now you seem like you're talking a lot about something you know little about.

The problem is the new joint system itself. No matter what kind of body it's fitted into, it will cause the same total structural failure, that is, mutilated arms.

Should we wait and see? Well, we already see the result. As far as I know, NO previous SHF releases have ever had this high rate of breakage, be it figures with arm swapping gimmick (hello, Gentaro) or without one. The conclusion is obvious.
