Arg. So i was going through my legends figs today and came across this. Looks like Slaughter saw some serious action. Not a simple boil and pop solution. The peg has snapped off clean. Barley even used this figure. Nothing that makes me more irritated than when one of figures breaks. And for no good reason on top of that. Not like it got knocked off the shelve or off the cell through a flaming table. I have had a couple errors like this with Mattel. Usually their earlier figures and little things like parts put on backwards, or broken wrist joints. Still annoys me though. These things are expensive. And the older ones hard to find. If anyone happens to be reading this has a Legends Slaughter they are looking to get rid of PM me with your price. As I am now unfortunately in the market.  Update: In an effort to be completely fair with Mattel. I have an update. I emailed them about the problem and they are issuing a voucher for the original cost of the figure due to the problem. Although I am still frustrated with the quality problem, I am impressed with the company's customer service. |

Dude I have had that same issue a lot recently! My Defining Moments Bret Hart's legs is dangling by a thread and looks like it will snap off like yours. Same with my Legends Cowboy Bob Orton, and a few others. These things are not cheap. 20 bucks or so a pop in a time where we don't have much disposable income. I feel your pain bro...

Yeah Thats ridiculous. I accept the expense that comes with these figures but I expect some basic quality. Say what you will about Jakks I have had there figs for years (and hasbros and LJNs for that matter) and have not had an issue like this. If this continues to happen, this will be what leads me to quit collecting. Aint no body got money fo that. |

I don't get it. You were just "going through" your figures and it snapped off? You "barely even used it'? What DID you do to it?
