ALWAYS check your figures as soon as you receive them, even if you are not gonna display them straight away
Yeah, some of my figs are still sealed, but with this particular one, have opened it and posed it a few times, but I was careful when I did.
Then I took 'em back in their boxes...
When I took 'em out again, a simple knee bend broke the knee. I hope the same wont happen to the Hot Toys I'm about to have.

There is definitely a lack of good engineering going on in the collectibles industry. Definitely as collectibles become more complex, integrate mixed media and use new materials, this is going to happen more often.
Maybe THE CW and AoU versions are better compared to that. Time will tell, I guess. I do hope Hot Toys keep improving. That'd be a win for new collectors jumping on board.
