Why so fragile?

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

Oh nice! I am going to have to look that up, mine was not in a jar so that might be my first clue it wasn't it.

The jar looks really fancy, so it must be good

Yeah I got the big jar, and I was hesitant at first but a little goes a really long way.

I have a few oob pops for display and live in a town house so the walls are semi-shared. Well I guess one day the neighbor was doing something and I came home to some of them on the floor. I thought all made it until I found a Robin from Robin Hood and saw that he unfortunately lost his foot! A little glue and he's all good, but definitely some pieces are way more fragile than I thought.

That's good. And it says it's reusable right?

So true. One of Jack Skellingtons lost an arm recently. Even in the box, they're not always safe.

Supposedly. I haven't tested that yet.

Its kind of shocking my Sally is still in one piece considering how many times she has fallen over from me trying new ways to keep her on the stand.

Why be wasteful if you don't have to? I'm also intrigued by its supposed ability to hang things on the wall too

Which speaks to the variation in fragility of these figures

I'm sure there's a weight limit, so if those are anything like the albums and such, they might be too heavy. But maybe good for posters like the BL Alice ones not too long ago. Nice to have more non-damaging options for art

Yeah I think it's more for posters but I bet it would hold up a pop by its feet could be a fund way to display Spiderman lol

Oh gotcha, I already have something that holds paper to my walls, maybe I should try it on my figures.

Use it to attach the keyrings to the wall? I like it. But maybe just ones with no thin parts in case they still fall

I've been very lucky, so far, on not having many mishaps. Had a few, but without any major damage to the Pop. I probably just jinxed myself now! lol

I also had a Funko Vynl Snow Miser with broken nose. Now I see why some collectors never remove from box ](*,)

Big bummer. Never feels good to see a collectible break. I've never had this happen but I do customs and use a glue called Plastic Surgery that is amazing on figures! That is if you haven't fixed it yet.
