>>7247434If you're talking about me posting something that is genuinely known for breaking, by posting that GI Joe, it's to give you a clear example of what anecdotal isn't: objective and common place.
It's extremely common to find that shit and almost everyone who owns the older GI Joes has had the rubberbands rotted out.
As opposed to the very anecdotal claims that the plastic on McFarlane is known for rotten, yet no proof is offered. Just stories of what they heard or seen, and not even photographic proof of the plastic degrading.
There's nothing bizarre to call someone on their bullshit on the internet.
If something is common, there should be many many examples, like this photo showing how the band no longer holds its shape because of the degradation of the rubber.
