DEFECT ? Jungle Assault Ripcord

I purchased three (3) Jungle Assault Ripcords, at different times. I've had problems with the knees of all 3. When bent, the knee joints crack. One leg fell off at the knee. I've never seen a problem like this in the modern line. Has anyone else experienced this, or did I just happen to grab the 3 duds out there?

I'm hoping it is not a defect due to the color/type of plastic, as this is a sharp looking figure.

did you get yours at retail or like most of us use an online (chinese or other seller) cuz if it was the latter it might been a defective batch they got the figures from

I purchased all 3 from retailers, Hasbro Toy Shop, BBTS, and Walmart. All MOC.

Maybe the dye/plastic mix is making the joint brittle.

UGH! I'm not going to be all doom and gloom, but I remember back when I was a kid and the thumbs use to snap off after a while. Worst feeling when you're 9.

I bought one a few days ago and I haven't had any problems with this one. My only complaint is the head sculpt. It's the same crappy head I got with the "Attack On The Pit" set. Otherwise, great figure; awesome articulation.

This gives me some hope that it was just a fluke. If I see some more on the shelf, I'll pick them up. I want a total of 6. The body makes for a great squad.
