Nope. In Utah (feels outside the USA, but that's another story! lol). I bought Superman in the little blue box at TRU a few years ago. Chris Redfield I bought like 10+ years ago and threw away. Superman was on clearance upon release at my local TRU. I bought one, took it out of the box, attempted to make the classic "up up and away" pose, and the leg snapped. I was pissed. emailed Neca, they shrugged it off. Went to TRU, they were out. They did a store network search, but told me they had none. It popped up on TRU website and amazon a few times, but I didn't want to buy it a 2nd time if it was going to break again. I just tightened my bigboy pants and got out the superglue, soaked the leg socket, and cemented the leg in a standing pose. Sucks, but I've forgiven Neca, because it looks damn good, and honestly, it's not a hasbro play toy, it's a "stick it on the shelf and walk away" collectible.

After those two experiences, I still buy Neca, I just avoid posing as much as possible. My Keaton Batman has one arm that raises, one is really tight. I've never moved the tight arm to this day. lol luckily, Keaton as Batman was so stiff, it still looks natural!

For my blog post, this was about the most posing I was willing to risk... again, notice other arm has not moved! lol
