>>6989466the legs to pelvis and gun barrel are only so easily broken because of the amount of paint on them and surrounding areas, most people can use brute force to pop the legs apart from the crotch, others had to loosen a factory installed screw to give him some additional give (which while minor, is excusing a qc issue), I myself had to use a screw driver, the legs split fine now but only because repeated movements removed the access paint.
The gun barrel is flawed in some many ways, how people can attached the silencer without scratching it without modifying it is a mystery (even that video of the guy explaining "one simple trick, FOLLOW THE MANUAL" doesn't apply to everyone), let alone closing the section down for gun mode, I'm not expecting kid friendly tabs but I nearly ripped off a nail trying to open that section to put him back into gun mode, so (again) had to use a screw driver (at first I used multiple toothpicks, managed to get a clearance big enough for a stylus but when that snapped I said fuck it).
That said mine was from mandarake, double taped, "unopened", mine was inspected by the factory (one of those random qc checks), I can't wrap my head around that, he looked fine and posed fine but the paint build up in those places was terrible, glad I saw other people destroy theirs first
Still some make me laugh though, the arms were one of the easiest sections, yet this person snapped them off the ratchets, apparently the owners sister, certainly not made for kids or brainlets
