I've never tried to take apart a ME figure, and didn't even know that you had to crack them open. As an avid customizer of ARAH figures, the screw in back makes it a real easy process to take apart and put back together.

Yep, I've been saying it ever since they came out with the 25th line that they needed to have the screws in the back.
Not only that, but they should have the seperate waist too. Having that and a solid torso makes for a much better looking figure than having that damn split right across the chest. |

I miss the screw. Cracking the torso apart without breaking it is difficult, and then glueing it back together sucks.

Honestly, I don't mind them nothaving back screws because i don't do customs, but it would be easier to disassemble them if they did have them i suppose. I used to take them apart all the time when i was a kid, and the screw made it so easy to do that. The only down side i can see is that the screw hole would probably be too shallow like the way the Valor vs venom figures were. Scarlett really pissed me off because her backpack never stayed in right, and it was because of the ill fitting backpack and shallow screw hole.
That sounds really wrong. Anyway, I like the new backpack holes the figures have, so as long as my figures don't fall apart from a broken rubber band, i'm ok with them not having screws. |

Ford-
I like the split torso, but if they found a better way to do it, I wouldn't mind. |

I'd take a step up from LBCs if there were a screw.

It seems pretty unaminous!! I think if the figs did have a screw more people would want to customize in an extensive way and that way more figs should be brought/sold.
