Thread: New Figure Collector - Need Advice

Hello. I've recently purchased a Boss Fight Studio Vitrivian H.A.C.K.S. 3.75" Serpentess Order Gorgon. It is the first ever action figure meant for older collectors that I have ever purchased. Before, I bought LEGOs and Hasbro's Transformers lines (to the exclusion of everything else).

Now, Boss Fight Studio's lovely gorgon figures were the ones to break me out of this shell, but this does mean that I have no experience regarding high-end figures and I've purchased a very small figure. I need advice, particularly if it pertains to the Vitruvian HACKS line.

Firstly: The Gorgons' tail coverings are made of soft plastic. Should I be worried about this in any fashion?
Secondly: Swapping parts: The figure's joints are all either on or are pegs that peg in tightly. The Serpentess Order's crystal-purple armor has a funny way of tabbing in where bendable plastic tabs bend around the figure's waist to peg into the back. Should i have any concerns or be notified of anything regarding these?
Thirdly: The hands: They're tiny, and while I have gotten the swords into them, I do have concerns. The sword's handle forces the hand open, and the right hand (which has had a sword placed into it for longer) doesn't have as tight a grip as it used to. What concerns should I have with these itty bitty hands?

Finally, any kind of general care and maintenance advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I do not anticipate buying SH Figurarts, Marvel's action figure line, or any other company's products besides what I have already purchased, but you never know (and knowing is half the battle)
