I am a ML collector and can say that this is not the case with all older ML. I have to ask did you get it loose or MOC? I ask because Pyro came from the Onslaught wave released back in 2006, If he was MOC and you just opened him, there's always a chance a joint or limb could snap as the figure has never been touched and has been sitting in the package for 6+ years, stiffness is going to happen. No different then buying a car, letting it sit for 6 years then expect to jump in it and go 100mph. Some of the older figures are less forgiving with their "breaking points" then say the newer lines. The more a figure is played/posed the looser the joints become but the threat of damaging/snapping a piece is less likely due to the wear, but wear also means paint loss/rubbing, and as mentioned loose joints. Unless you want specific figures only from the older waves or want moc, I suggest buying loose lots from collectors and or arkers on here.
