BROKEN! Right out of the package!

Posted in Action Figure Chatter

Okay... I can forgive a bent limb or two from a figure in the package - it happens. Too much force used when packing, twisty ties wrench it o to one side...

Gods, I *loathe* twisty ties. Can somebody tell me what the point of them is, when the figure is already in a body molded support?

But what I can't forgive is a figure that's broken before I take it out of the packing. It's happened three times to me now...

A blacksuited ML Wasp - right hip joint torn off at the bottom of the thigh peg.

ML Hulk Buster Iron Man - left hand again torn off the peg. Fortunately, he was going to loose it anyways, but... grrrr.

And a DCSH Batman - I think the second version? The one with the Bluegrey body, Deeper blue boots/gloves and tiny, tiny pinhead - that again was broken at the hip joint.

Can't just be my bad luck, can it? Anybody else had a busted figure straight from package?
