AAAAAAAAAAAA. My wave 5 IG Destro had a locked right arm. I tried to bend it at the elbow and noticed that it seemed to be damaging the peg. Heated it up and tried to remove the arm and pop, out came the arm with the peg snapped off in the bicep.
Damnit! Anyone got a spare right arm?

J/K, Sorry about your Destro, that sucks. I nearly broke Hawk's wrist pulling him from his packaging. Eric |

OK, but it'll be a vintage arm I had a similar thing happen with my first Lady Jaye, only it was the ring part of the elbow that broke |

Had my first Zartan's right hand snap off at the wrist. Little Crazy Glue fixed up the problem.

That sucks. IG Destro is such a great figure too.
While we are talking about casualties: Anchor Tat Shipwreck's right hand (replaced with my Shark Tat Shipwreck's hand, will glue the broken one someday) V2 Snake Eyes left hand (put piece of wire to hold it in, should have used glue but didn't think about it at the time) Cobra Trooper (silver logo) - one was felt and looked like it was going to break so I stopped moving it (will get back to that one someday) and another I heated up too much and is a little too loose

I am beginning to wonder if i should take mine out of the packages to see if they are all in good condition. I would hate to open these up years later and break an arm or foot and then try to replace the figure when they are not as commonly sold as they are now...Something to think about...
