That really sucks about Leader though. For some reason, in my experiences, it seemed that the figures that came out of those face off waves were a little more brittle than the rest. My Jigsaw figure snapped in half at the waist during a move last year (thank goodness it wasn't too difficult of a head swap to do, as that figure's prices are ridiculous.) Remembering that, I picked up the Baron Strucker 2 pack a while ago, and my stomach turned as I tried to loosen up those joints with the care of paleontologist working on dinosaur bones. Thankfully nothing broke, but even then I'm still fearful of handling them too much and they are pretty much static on my shelves.

I agree on the face off sculpts. I would love to pick up a Face Off Masked Captain America for a decent price. I feel so stupid for passing on one back in September that was going for $35. I'm excited for Hasbro's version of that costume, but I don't think it will hold a candle to Face Off Cap as far as sculpt and detail goes. Still, it might work as a nice placeholder until I can get my hands on it.

And yeah, I don't have too many ToyBiz figures since I started collecting once Hasbro got ahold of the line, but I've never had an issue with figures breaking until this Face Off Leader, and I've heard numerous people say that the face off line had some pretty bad QC in general. Luckily, the Leader is far less expensive to replace than that Hulk figure, so I'm not too bummed about it.

BTW, I've always wanted that FO Jigsaw in the white outfit, but yeah the prices are absurd for it.
