My Transformation Willows figure hand also broke off. It seems as though the piece that was connecting her hand to her arm was too small. I tried to put an accesory in her hand and thats when her hand started wearing apart.

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). And the master took at bad fall. The exact same thing happened to my Willow when i was posing her! and i used the same method of fixing her as you  As for my master figure i think i was lucky in finding a good one as hes toppeled over and onto the floor from quite a height and is yet to brake  As for those stupid candles on the other hand  Also my prophecy girl buffy figure has fell quite a few times and hasnt broken except for the arm in which i talked about in my other post |

As my first Angel broke, i just got a new one. Its fallen off the shelf twice and hasn't broken. So far series two and five of Buffy seem the sturdiest.

My gosh what are you guys doing dropping them off your roof? Do you play with them? How is it that all the arms and legs are breaking off? The only thing I have ever had break is those tiny tongs that came with the gentlemen. It was impossible to get it out of the packaging!

The series one figures break when you are posing them, its really annoying. 50% of the series one figures end up broken. And No, im not throwing them of a roof, i look after my figures, they're like my children. |

My red pants Willow's arm fell off while I was making a Twisted Toyfare Theatre-style photostory and I was only trying to move it at the shoulder joint. I have a Master who came with one arm broken off at the elbow, and the other has since fallen off in the same place. But he looks really ridiculous without arms, which I love, so I keep him that way. |

The only figures that I have broken are the Master and angel Cordy. The Cordy figure is actually quite sturdy, I was just trying to put a coat on it that didn't fit and broke the hand off.  I also broke that little sword that comes with the newer Angel 3 seconds after I took it out of the package. |

Well my Dark Witch Willow woke me up this morning when she fell off my shelf, onto my fish tank, and bounced onto my glass desk. I was wondering who fell, but was too tired to check. Anyway, she survived the fall with no broken parts. Altough I'm very surprised that she did fall because she was at the back of an 8 inch wide shelf...

Nope. No GWW for me until the spellbook comes out.
That would be really scary if the figs came to life at night and started attacking eachother...sounds like a really cheesey movie.

My transforamtion willow just did that... Her peg is in her leg, so I super glued it back... Well so far the only Willow figure thats broke is Dark Witch Willow's base 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 Also Transformation Willows legs are very stiff  I think in every series of buffy figures at least one has broke from every set The worst was when my brothers friend broke my prophecy girl buffy figure I cudda killed him ;D |

I haven't yet opened any of the Willows (first I need to clear off a shelf for them), but the only figure I've had break was my Vampire Spike's left hand, and that was my own fault. I had always wondered if the regular Spike's wrists were supposed to turn, since they seemed to wiggle a bit, but wasn't wanting to try to force them. But when I got Vampire Spike, I noticed almost immediately that his right wrist was, in fact, nicely articulated. Yay! So, the left hand is just temporarily stuck then? Okay, if I just use a bit of force, it should unstick, and then I'll be able to position him better... **snap** ...oops.
Luckily a little Super Glue fixed it with no problem, and it's not like that hand ever was able to move before anyhow, but... yike! And Spike's left handed, too, so I had to go and break off his dominant hand. His vampy snarl looked remarkably like a scream of pain as I was standing there with his hand in mine.
The only other scare was when I was taking Red Pants Willow out of her packaging. I had heard about S1 elbows breaking, so I was being very careful with her arms, when suddenly Poink! Her head pulls off. There was still one twisty around her hair that I had missed. Gaah! Luckily nothing was broken, and her head popped back on again with no problem, but Whew!

I was able to get my series 1 Willows backpack on without taking her head off but her arms broke off a few months later after I bought her.

*Two* of my friends broke their Willow's arms off at the elbow trying to put her backpack on, so I wasn't even going to try. I didn't even think of trying to get it on her without her head.
But it was just that I had been trying to get a Red Pants Willow off of eBay for months -- kept checking, waiting for a good price without getting outbid. Then after I *finally* get one, I carefully take it out of its packaging... and I find myself holding her headless body. AAAAH! I know now that customizers pull off and switch heads all the time, but I'd never heard of one coming off before, and after all that work I went through to get one, it was scary as hell to think for that moment that I'd just destroyed the poor thing.
I now have both S1 Willows, PPWWW, Dark Witch Willow, Vamp Willow, Doppelgangland Willow and World Tour Willow freed from their packaging and displayed on a small shelf. Wish me luck trying to get S5 Willow and Transformation Willow out of their packaging. Their wrists are so skinny! I can see why they'd break. And I wound up putting PPWWW on her base standing *next* to the posts rather than on them. They just seem much wider than the holes in her feet, and they're further apart than her "Hello, I need articulation" legs. After looking at the base and reading of others breaking the posts off in the feet, I don't think I'll chance it.

um the head for willow S1 is supposed to come off, because she needs to put on her backpack!! heh if you dont take off the head, then you have a 99.9 % chance of braking the arms

As for those stupid candles on the other hand
