Always knew this was gonna happen, but I didn't think it'd happen this sooner.
Now, I'm kinda deathly afraid of SS Tiga now... |

Crap, haven’t gotten mine yet but that always felt inevitable
Maybe it’s made worse if you stretch the arms out 90 degrees for too long ? |

I'd definitely be careful with it. Depending on the type of plastic they use for the advertised "soft plastic" parts, leaving him in a dynamic pose for too long might lead to cracks or creasing, which is also why I never support figures that use rubber torsos, which is another trend that's been slowly on the rise lately.

The chest doesn't seem like something that would have this issue since it'd onlCin an ab crunch, bending that soft plastic, nothing good could come out of it. Crotch could also suffer with this, but assuming it's the same material Figma uses for their soft crotches as well, there might not be a problem. Other than that, possible discoloration on the entire torso cuz of different material is possible. Not gonna cancel my pre-order, but these possibilities sure do make me feel down a bit.

Here's the thing though, in that very promo pic they have a guy holding the arms in place. What this tells me is that yes, you can force the arms to go forward more, but that soft plastic is just gonna springs those arms back. Makes me wonder why they didn't just go for a bigger range butterfly joint like they have some some of their Dragon Ball figures. Like, yeah it'd lead to gaps if you pushed it too far, but the range would still be there for people who like their figures arms to go way out.

Handle your figure with care, especially at delicate areas like stretching soft goods.
And don’t freak out about one picture of a broken toy. They all break, at every single part. A widespread issue is something else, and even then it is a warning for you to know what to look out for, not a guarantee that you will face the same issue. |

As much as I want SS Black and as low as the QC issue reports on him are atm, I think I'm fine with my 2.0 Black for a bit longer if I can't find him for sale right now.

ANOTHER Black SS broken. Seen this on Facebook/Reddit/Instagram and now, here. And mines is on the way.
Soak them in hot water or a blowdryer on warm beforehand. This has saved me MANY times |

Yeah, this is advice I try to spread too. Helped me avoid many a common break, such as OOO's' elbows.
