THEY'RE TOO EXPENSIVE TO BREAK. It makes me sad.

Agreed on both counts. I'm going to be terrified switching hands from now on, especially on the really fiddly ones like CycloneJoker and Red Buster.

The only figures that I've ever felt like I'd break the wrists on were all of my Ultra-Acts (literally) and Basco. I haven't snapped any yet but damn, sometimes the amount of force you have to apply is just way too much.

Knock on wood, but I've been pretty fortunate with my FIguarts. I've yet to have one that has any major crippling issues…but then again, I tend to treat all my figures with kid gloves on.

The only breaks I've had were my Ixa's crest breaking on the open head and Double Luna/Joker's Joker shoulder guard.

The only problem I've had with a Figuart is the right elbow pin on my Agito Trinity falling apart. The elbow still holds together, but it can be jostled out if treated roughly.

My Kuuga's wrist joint occasionally likes to pop out with the fist, but that's not really a break as it plugs right back in.

ya, that happened to my ixa right out of the box :l

Yeah, some of those hands seem to take a lot of force to get them on. My Red Buster, BoukenRed, and Nigo take forever.

Same thing with me, but that only happened because IXA took a dive off my shelf.

Only QC issue I have had was Gridman...same thing with the hand inside the peg
