Despite it looking like it could snap, it never happened to me ever. And i changed hands hundreds of times on multiple figures.

Yeah, I’ve swapped hands on my Tregear & Bemlar many times & they’ve not shown any stress.

I own many Ultraman figuarts and I've never had any of the wrist joints snap, despite changing the hands multiple times.

I have all of mine still in the box. I really should open them and try using them a bit lol

mad respect for you, to be able to resist them haha
