When I moved into this house, I had everything crammed into totes (and stayed there for about 7 years), so I had a couple of female figures arms snap off at the elbow and a Man-Bat lost his head. Otherwise, I've had problems with the wrist peg/hinges on the "super-posable" classic Superman (and every figure after that used the same mold) breaking like crazy. Beyond that, I've only had a handful of instances where a figure falls off the shelf and breaks a limb or something.

Okay. That may explain a lot. Because of some of the DC Direct figures I've had since I was in grade school and play with them a lot. Also, I had destructive brothers as a kid. I'm surprised my Ed McGinnis Superman survived childhood only to break when adult me tried posing him for a display idea. Also, my Batman Hush Riddler's head falls off a lot. In fact, in Middle School, my mother and I were at a Vintage Stock and we found another Batman Hush Riddler that had his cane and hat we tried to buy that one and later sell the one we had to Vintage Stock. When we were heading to the counter his head popped off and we decided it wasn't worth it. I'd just keep the one I have.
