@optic the hand is fine actually, and works like new. And being Kagamin’s hand, her sleeve covers up the blemish left behind.

@Chappy
Ouch. That would shatter my heart for sure. @_@

@Blowfish
Just keep in mind not to use excessive force and u should be alright. ^^

@Snark
So it’s U who has the voodoo doll. :P
Yeah, I had to use my magic again. xD

@GNdynames
I don’t have any problems with my figures and nendos are they don’t have weak joints.

@sonic_ver2
In this case, I see you haven’t given up on them. lol

@Persocom
Thanks matey.
I hope you remain dilemma less free.

@Wolfheinrich
Some ppl call me the “Figma doctor”. I can’t complain I’m not. lol

@phossil
Don’t apply excessive force. It’s a one way ticket to a dilemma like me. JUST DON’T!!!!!!!!!!

@T.I.P.
Geeez that suxs. Never that happened before but dam, what a bummer. T_T
If u superglued it, doesn’t that mean, that hand becomes unusable anymore despite being in one piece now?

@Q
The thing is, I haven’t gotten many of the new figmas with ABS hand parts, Considering I did a major cut back on figmas, I can’t say for sure they made it stronger but I can see some improvements.
This post isn’t meant to alarm ppl but more as to make them weary and don’t make the mistakes I do.

@zenical
NOOOOOOOO, ur gotta keep supporting them. Show your love. xD
Yeah, I read about it. Sad really. T_T

I think figmas are kinda fragile, thus I am slowly "not buying" figmas. LOL I understand your pain, I broke my figma fate joints before, and that point of time, Fate was kinda rare >_> Geez. Lol. zenical´s last blog post..Ninokuni and Studio Ghibli

When I first read the top bit of the post, I was worrying "oh no please don't tell me it's another casaulty", and it surely is... Judging from the way you've described on pulling up the hand piece, it sounds like that you were doing it right, but it's hard to tell what goes wrong exactly as there can be different causes/factors. Koizumi was one of the earlier (ish) release, which means that the hand parts were not as strong. Max Factory only started using tougher ABS for hand parts when Tsuruya-san came out. Now that they are using the new peg system for future figmas such as Makina means that they are getting quite aware of the weak hand joints and are improving it to increase durability. Well, at least you've got it fixed, which is definitely good news. Haven't heard of a figma breakage for a while, but it does get alarming again when Ive read it. I hope there will be no more breakages after this - as it does get disheartening to experience. Q´s last blog post..PhotoFunia

I've been really careful with the figma hands ever since I broke one of Kagamin's in January. Luckily it broke when I was pulling it out of the figma hand holder... Yeah, that's right!!! BROKE IN THE FIGMA HAND HOLDER!!! My reaction was WTF because the figma hand was so weak it snapped when I took it out of the hand holder. But it was fixed easily when I just superglued it back on.
