Is it just me or are the arms on the Janice figure very, and I mean VERY, fragile? I've gotten a few for custom figures and the arms keep breaking off! I'm not being rough I'm just trying to turn them on the articulation point and they snap!

I got mine when she first came out. I was dusting my Muppet shelf last weekend and her leg snapped off!

I got my Janice about six months ago, and I haven't had a problem with her.

I have my original, she's still fine (knock wood), but when I needed extras for customs, I was grateful for the lower price on broken ones, so I have seen and tried to repair a couple who had lost limbs. The shoulder joint in particular is a tiny sliver of plastic that, once it breaks, I just don't see any way to repair that won't lead to further damage of the surrounding pieces.

Mine also has stood the test of time. But, she's standing in perma-position behind glass. Only been posed/played with a couple of times.

I've had problems with my Pepe...his legs keep popping out of joint, and he's never been the same since the first time.

I lost the leg off my Janice, but I assumed it was my kid who broke her.
