As Figure gets older, does the plastic get weaker? I had a DA6 Edge loose, but in mint condition in a plastic tub under the bed, I pulled it out and wanted to do a head swap with the da 21 edge, i pulled the head and all the plastic around the neck just cracked. Also his leg just broke right off.

I woudln't think the plastic itself would weaken.
Maybe the adhesives used to hold the torsos together might would but I'm not entirely sure.
Do you live anywhere with drastic weather changes? Humid? Cold? ect? Those could all factor in to something like that happening even if the figure was stored in a tub.

thats weird........under the bed is mostly a cool spot. unless your bed is next to a window the heat temperature in the room ruined the plastic. aswell is u dont open your tubs air is locked in, it need to be aired almost every week.

I've never had a problem with older figures. I have some RA 1 and RA 2 figures that I still use and they're fine. Some figures are just messed up I guess (espescially DA   ) |
