As I was dusting my shelf, I accidently knocked over my HBK Hasbro figure. It fell wrong and his arm immediately broke off when it hit the ground. Shawn Michaels is my favourite wrestler, so Im pretty pissed that it happened. Im going to superglue it back together though. To turn this into a topic. Has anyone had a figure they really liked break?

lucky for you, mint Rockers are among the easiest and cheapest figures to obtain this side of The Bushwhackers

No not me personally but one of my friends was playing around with his Elite Cody Rhodes, and his arm snapped off. Sorry about the brake by the way

LOL. My Rockers Shawn broke the exact same way many, many years ago, in the exact same spot. Buh bye arm.
By that time, I had the white/red trunks Shawn, so it wasn't such a big deal.

Just buy another one: Hasbro the Rockers are kind of flooded on the secondary market. You can buy a couple spare Shawns right away Luckily never broke a fig. I can imagine all Hasbros with the gorilla slam-action are easy victims...

I dropped a BIG andre the giant elbow on smash in about 91 and the arm flew off. I was really upset. No Andre in shops, no ebay, i eventually picked another up for 20p at a boot fair.

My grandfather used to buy a lot of hasbros for me at flea markets and car boot sales. Alot of the gorilla press figures had fingers that were hanging on by a thread. He nearly got me every single one they ever did too, the only ones I was missing were the entire green card series, dusty, akeem, s1 warrior, black tights shawn and purple trunks razor. But once my brother took my Randy Savage and Kevin Nash wcw figures, put them in a jacknife position and held them to the ceiling. BAM right into the ring, both their arms broke off . He also did a similar thing with my hasbro Yokozuna and Hacksaw into a hasbro ring, the figures were fine but the ring cracked down the middle in half pretty much. I really regret selling most of my hasbros, and am trying to get a collection back of them now. I have about 7 left, but 7 of those are in really bad condition . Why oh why did I have to sell that absolutely MINT condition demolition Crush!!! .

That is weird. Shawn is the only figure that I have had break on me. Same thing, the arm fell off.

I went through at least 4 Hogans with the hulkster hug when I was a kid, the left arm always broke off. I'm pretty sure my rockers shawn michaels also broke same way yours did.

Lol my Rockers were doomed. I had this happen to at least 3 Shawns and 2 Marty's when I was little.

Back in '93, Akeem The African Dream went for a big splash off the top turnbuckle and sadly landed in two pieces.
This was met with huge laughter from the crowd (my friend) as he only just traded me the figure that afternoon.
I hate him.

So, would it be safe to say from the responses in this thread that Rockers Shawn Michaels had a major design flaw of some sort, causing the left arm to always break off? That, or we're a clumsy bunch...
Ichiban- My original Andre broke the same way! Didn't ever get another one until the mid-90's, after Hasbro went out of production. Paid some ungodly amount for it through mail-order.

There's probably a weakness in the joint of the left arm.

Seems fitting for the moment...
If only I had editing skills, I'd substitute the part with Shawn collapsing with his figure falling perilously in slo-mo.
