    I bought these early last year as my first foray into the TMNT cartoon line, and immediately sold them off after opening them. The biggest problem is the cheap ass plastic NECA uses in combination with how many of their joints are painted rather than cast in the actual color of plastic. On mine, the first time I posed the hands, the paint scratched off the hinge. I was speechless when I realized that Rocksteady's hands were cast in light brown (like Bebop) and painted grey, and Bebop's hands were cast in grey(like Rocksteady) and painted light brown. What total half-assery! Painting joints rather than casting them in the correct color makes no sense whatsoever. Fortunately mine didn't break, but I also did very little with them after seeing the paint issue. NECA has such great sculpting in so many of their lines, but the plastic quality, cheap paint finishes and breakage rate keeps me away from them. Garbage company that won't ever change.

    That sucks 😞. Mine in the box legs look straight. This is another reason why I keep mine in box. Another reason is the value. Hopefully the rerelease of Bebop and Rocksteady will be better. I know Rocksteady will have his iconic helmet. Hopefully they'll be more accessories than that.

    Could have happened to anybody. Totally Sucks. I wonder if these may have been ancient Neca warehouse stock from their original run. Older Neca items get more fragile over time.
    I think they know this and that's why they do reissues of product. Hot Water treatment is recommended.
    Cynically their perfect for MISB collectors. But it raises the questions of what junk your actually holding on to.
    I still have not opened my playmates two packs. But nice to see the rocksteady and beebop sculpts, I definitely forgot how strange they are.
