Looking at the pin that was holding the leg together the damn thing looks like they used Smokey grey translucent plastic instead of regular plastic. I tried looking up to see if this was a common issue, but only found one review on Amazon mentioning it. Super bummed out. I could try fixing it, but I don’t honestly know if it’s worth the effort. Truthfully I was more swayed by ‘ohhh, hard to find figure’ and ‘ohhh, BAF pieces I need’ than any love for the actual character. And on closer examination the ‘wings’ on his one head aren’t attached symmetrically, his sword looks like a flailing armed tube man dancing at a used car lot, and his shoulder articulation is downright abysmal for a sword wielding character. Ugh. I hate the ‘disappointment factor’ more than anything else. Been a junk week with another junk few days ahead, and this was my enthusiasm pick-me-up. Not so much now...

Mine came apart as well about a week after having him. Right at the right thigh swivel. The swivels were tight, but I could feel the that joint was not stuck, or so I though, who knows. I emailed Hasbro on it, they did send me a replacement figure, but lo and behold it was Antman, which I already had.
