    Thanks for the review.

    If they're falling apart right out of the box I probably not going to get these. I don't care how nice they may look.

    Oh, Get new DC Direct small figures, with new even easier to break features.

    EDIT: Oh my god, I was only joking, and then I clicked on the link, and what do I see...

    Did the joints go back in or are they permanently broken? What a disappointment I was thinking of picking these up myself.

    Broken joints? I'd stick with MOTUC. I know smaller figures are going to dominate the toy industry for the immediate future, but man. That sucks.

    Kilowog's shoulder broke permanently. The arm peg was/is made out of a ridged, clear plastic and could not be repaired. The peg is stuck in Kilowog's body and my only solution would be to glue the arm on in a fixed position.
    Kyle's leg was able to go back in but the construction was very flimsy.

    Thanks for reading. I'll be reviewing the new 52 Aquaman and Green Lantern by this weekend.

    Sounds like they used the same pegs they used on Damian Robin (which broke in an instant on mine).

    Very sad. I was actually thinking of getting into this line. Reminds me of some of the stuff NECA used to put out (like their Tron 2.0 figures.) Brittle plastic with little pegs.

    Forget NECA, Jazzware's is the worst. Their plastic is so brittle the toys fall apart in the packages.

    Easy fix. Drill out the peg and replace it with a screw.

    You are acting like everyone can do that. If I ever took a drill to a figure, the figure would be completely unrepairable.

    All you need is a steady hand dude. No skill required for it just replace the peg with a half pushed in screw and pop it back in.
