So, I was just posing my RoC Storm Shadow, and all of the sudden, his knee joint broke (the little loop in the lower half of the leg snapped). I've never had a 25th-style figure break on me before. Are they using a different plastic for the movie toys? Anyone else have their RoC figures spontaneously break?

I've found it help to run problem joints under hot water to loosen them up. Bend them while they are still hot. When the figure cools down everything works good.

One of the reasons I don't have a loose collection of Anniversary figs (in fact I sold them all) is that I broke a Shipwreck's hand off trying to swivel it at the wrist.
