leaning = then how?

they will not break unless u drop them. but they might lean coz the weight not balance. if lean either u heat the pvc a little bit (by hot water bath or hair blower) and adjust it back to the position. but be careful of not overdoing it

Usually for that kind of figure, the peg probably is the part that will patah 1st.
For PVC figure, rarely patah case happened (usually the things that patah are peg, hair strands, or small-small parts), but for resin or cold-cast figure, they can break upon falling, due to their rock-like condition (PVC is flexible, instead of break, they will bend)

if u drop a pvc the first thing to go is usually the paint, u will get paint chip instead of it breaking. Parts that might break are those join by very very small area, such as hair strands, etc.
For figures standing with 1 leg, the leg are usually made of ABS which is harder or they'll insert a rod into the leg to prevent leaning

if you see your figure started to lean, put them into the microwave for 30 second then when they come out hot you bend them back to their original position Xd

carefull if using the microwave method... dont end up crying instead....

hot water 85 to 95 C will do.... only on the effected part... with microwave you are cooking the pvc as well as paints... uncontrolled heating.. some parts may exceed certain temperature... the fumes as well a other chems.. may shorten you life/cancerous

LoL >"< I was really seriously just joking about the microwave part, I can't imagine anyone putting their figures inside the microwave

go microwave ur Chu Chu and let us see the result

later her boobs sag down

hehehe....

omg reminds me of the massive gashapon heating. LOL

aiya... forget to try that day LOL~!

yala, that day i asked but no one wanna choi me T_T sad

u were suppose to bring ur gasaphon for us to try ma

I seen one patah before..... the AF hobby boss 1/6 Chobbit figure...... the whole right leg patah due to falling to the ground..... Guess standing on one feet is really dangerous.

Oh ya I forgot, ABS plastic can patah (thus, legs that are made by ABS plastic can patah)

hmm... the gathering pics... of ringo... i thought only mine has a small paint chip at the end of her hair strand (the long one near her boobies), but the one in the pics has the exact same defect as mine...

yamato QC terrible?
