They are surprisingly durable. I thought for sure that Kaylee's delicate wrists and elbows would snap as soon as I removed her from the box, but so far, I have 4 of the 5 (6 if you count Previews Jayne), and I have had no issues with the joints whatsoever. Sure a couple were a little stiff, straight out of the package, but a little careful manipulation "unfroze" them in a matter of seconds.

However, like En Sabah Nerd mentioned, most of the Mals I saw also had the weird wrist issues that he described. That's why I've passed on him so far in the hopes that I find one that looks more durable. If it turns out to be a running issue, maybe Funko will release an improved/revised version, like they purportedly had to do with some of the GoT Legacy figures.
