Hey guys this is the inverse of a haul. I had some bad luck yesterday that I need to get some perspective on.
I got out my 84' Zartan and I moved his left knee and the leg came apart. I damn near cried. I started looking at some other figs and noticed Serpentor's knees were really tight so I took them apart and the knee peg broke off both of them. It's like the peg seized in the hole. F me!!!! I take very good care of my Joes and they are each individually cased in my bedroom out of direct sunlight. Has anybody experienced this? |

Yes, they're all falling apart... reason why I got out of the o-rings.

Yea this scares me a little too - I went full ARAH last year and sold off all of my new mold figures (had around 200 of them) to get back into the vintage collecting. I don't plan to get fully back into the new mold figs but I feel like I may need a contingency plan in the event my collection starts falling apart.

I've started taking apart any knee that I find that is stiff and inspect it and scrape off any of the gunk on the inside. |

I'm taking the afternoon to go through all of my ARAH figures to check their knees. I found that all the figures that had their knee peg break off all felt the same when I moved the knee.

Hey guys, thought you might appreciate this pic of a recent haul. Someone's personal collection from childhood, which luckily for me they kept very good care of! Got to love a kid who takes care of their toys. They're all great, the only broken piece is Bazooka's crotch. I have another Bazooka with a much worse paint job on his jersey so he'll be donating his. All complete other than one of Grunt's rifles (I have a spare), Mutt's muzzle, and Roadblock has a stunted rifle (again, I have another luckily). Not pictured are a complete F.A.N.G., Ferret, A.W.E. Striker, Chameleon for Zartan and RAM Cycle to go with Quarrel. Nothing majorly rare or exciting, but some great figures and most are practically mint too.
