One of my biggest pet peeves with rebuilding my vintage collection is sellers who will say a figure is Mint and dont mention one or both elbows are cracked. It is a break for petes sake nothing is mint with a break.
Like most have said I dont think there is much that can be done to stop it. The best recourse is
just swapping the arms out. I noticed this was happening in my collection which was stored in a climate controlled setting and untouched for years. Even carded figures were susceptible to it.
This was one of the reasons I sold off my vintage figures and really began digging into the Modern Era now I kick myself in the ass for letting them go.
It seems 87-90 or 91 are more prone to have the issue the older figures but it can happen to just about any figure.
