I rarely log into this forum anymore. I was always on here during the Jakks years. I buy select Mattel figures. I am a huge Cena fan and get every Elite. I have had the SAME problem with EVERY Elite Cena I have bought that comes with the removable armband. No matter where the armband is (closer to the shoulder or at the largest part of the bicep) it always starts showing cracks. I just display my figures. Most of the time with the cloth shirts if they came with them. The armband just shows cracking and the ones that I decided to examine just completely rip and tear when I tried to remove them. I always browse the forums and see members post figures and the times I see Cena figures they all seem to have their armbands. Is it because they are for display only? They don't move enough? The air isn't bad where I display my figures, always usual indoor temperatures. I can't figure it out.

Honestly I just take them off and sit them right in front of cena because the same thing has happened time and time again with my cenas as well

I've had the same problem multiple times, and it just happened to my son's Creat-A-Superstar Bray Wyatt mask. It cracked just sitting on the figure.

I never seen this topic addressed on WFIGS before that is why I am bringing this up. They might as well just paint the armbands back on again. A removable band does nothing really for the figures because whenever Cena wrestles he always has the band on, it doesn't need to come off. They paint them onto the basic figures.

Have you ever thought of doing an arm swap with the basic figures? At least then it is painted on.

They dry out and become brittle. The same thing has happened with RSC Kane's chains. And I have had it happen to the JLU Shade figures shirt.

Humidity and if they are in constant uv light seems to kill them.

Never understood the concept of the removable armband. Just paint it on

You could spray a matte UV spray on it.

Had it happen to two of my Cenas. I remember seeing some in the package in stores that were already cracked as well. Had to swap the painted on bands from the basic figures.

I'm hoping that if I don't have the arm band pressed against the shoulder socket, it will stop cracking. I'm assuming yours, like mine, are always cracking on the side closer to the body (opposite the CENATION logo).

Yep. All my Cena figures have cracked armbands. Every one of them. I swapped a few with basic arms. Looks pretty good like that.

I keep my room cold so I think that helps.
