I haven't had anything break yet (I've got Transformation and Dark Witch), but I was super-careful when turning them and haven't moved the hands since I first got them. They do seem very fragile, so I'm not surprised. I'm sure other people will know better what glue works on these figures, but my first try would be superglue. That seems to work on pretty much everything. Too bad about the loss of articulation there, though. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

My Dark Witch Willow's fingers feels like they could break off when I turn the hands. My other Willow hands seem fine though.

When I got my Buffy series 1 figures all their arms and legs broke off, so now I keep all of my figures safe from any disturbence. I was afraid if my Willow broke so I didn't give her any accessories to hold, I just leave them by her feet. DeStInEd_To_DiE, are you using super glue to stick your Willows hands on? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

My Transformation Willow is not broke, but her knee joint is not in the socket right... Part of the peg that hold it in is not there and the right leg... Annoying, I paid 14.99, you would think they could make it right... ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

None of mine have broke....yet. I hope they don't, I try to keep them safe on a high dresser I have. My kid brother seems to get a twinkle in his eyes when he sees them, so I have to watch out for him. Other than that I have'nt had any problems with their hands. But I would definetly try super glue if you havent tried that yet. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Well so far the only Willow figure thats broke is Dark Witch Willow's base ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) They arent made thick like the series 2 bases and so as i tried to place her down the tab snapped and now is now stuck in her shoe hole ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png) Also Transformation Willows legs are very stiff ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) I think in every series of buffy figures at least one has broke from every set ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) The worst was when my brothers friend broke my prophecy girl buffy figure ![:'(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cry.png) I cudda killed him ;D

I have trans, dark, regular, and dopple willow, and so far none have had any problems. I have even experimented chaning heads, hair, arms, and hards, but so far I guess I've been lucky.

Well for me, almost one from every season has broken:
Buffy 1, Angel, Willow - they all lost arms and legs. Buffy 2 - thumb broke off Cordelia 1 (BTVS) - cordelia's leg came out of socket Drusilla and Vampire Drusilla - hands popped out LEather Jacket Faith - feet fell off!

I have the Regular and Doppelgangland Willow figures. Both of them seem REALLY strong to me, although I haven't tried to pose them very much. Maybe the Transformation Willow you purchased wasn't made very well... ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

I'm extra careful now, but superglue has worked well for my mishaps - S1 Willow broke her arm off at the elbow (now fixed and fully fuctional thanks to a drop of glue on the peg). Faith has no movement in her wrist after an accident trying to pick up the crossbow on the day she was deboxed (superglue again!) And the master took at bad fall when the cat knocked over my DVD shelf that he was resting on. The arm broke off, and the superglue had to come out of the drawer again.
The new Willows seem a bit sturdier, but I'm still very cautious when moving the joints.

none of my willows broke..but I did break one hand off my gentlemen figure when I tried to switch hands....I glued it with crazy glue and it held great..I can still put his "tools" in it.

Wow, I'm surprised. The Willows I have seem to be the strongest of the entire Buffy line. Weird.

Wow, I'm surprised. The Willows I have seem to be the strongest of the entire Buffy line. Weird. I agree. My willows are fine, but faith seems to have a problem with her bicep joint, buffy 1 has weak elbows along with the master. And my cheerleader cordy shoulder joint broke. The only thing I would worry about would be the hands of the willows, but I've been cautious enough to avoid accident

I haven't opened any of my figures yet, although I do plan to once I find a place to put them all. But seeing this makes me a little hesitant about doing so. I never realized that they broke so easily. It's kind of a bummer spending this money on something that can break so easily. Even thought hey would just be on display on a shelf, I'm seriously questioning if I should ever open them now. I guess when the time comes, I will, but I will be extra careful so as not to break them simply by positioning them.

My Transformation's left hand fell off within the hour of opening it, but iv superglued it back on. I know this isnt borken but the tips of my Dark Willows fingers arnt painted. But apart from that, they are the strongest Buffy figures yet ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I am in fear of any of my figures to break again, so I trying to keep most of new figures on the card. So far I have kept my season 5 Willow and my Green Shirt IKON Spike in the boxes. I think some of my figures broke because I used to play with them when I was younger. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
