A good number of my other figures have taken falls off of their shelves and none of them have broken from that. I would recommend using a hair-dryer for stuck or worrisome joints but honestly I've had few figures that really needed it, though with an exclusive item it would be better to be safe than sorry and go ahead and use a hair-dryer beforehand.

I have quite a few NECA figures and I have found them to be more fragile than most Marvel Legends, DCUC, Star Wars, Marvel Select and DC Collectibles. NECA's Predator and Terminator figures are mostly fine but a few of my Alien Xenos broke very easily. I don't use unessecary force when posing my figures and I'm not rough with them in the least. Most of the DC Comics figures I have are pretty poorly done and I don't even try to pose them much for fear they might break. I think it was En Saba Need who mentioned a while back that the TRU Exclusive Chris Reeve Superman and Heath Ledger Joker figures in particular were slapped together rather hastily and that's part of the reason why so many people had breakage problems with them in particular. So that makes me nervous about the TMNT set too because they are such a limited exclusive set. I hope the QC for the Turtles is on par with the Predator and Terminator figures I have because they will be difficult and expensive to replace.
