I love to collect and though I try to be as careful as I can, things happens anyway and it hurts. Lets hear it. What's the most valuable, beloved figure/statue you ever broken? Mine is... tell you later.

I remember I was around the age of 10-13 and I was outside throwing in the air my favorite figure, a DBZ figure of Trunks.


One time I didn't catch him and his head went flying off somewhere. I was left with a headless Trunks.

broke this when i was younger. i think i lost the mask first tho which really made me upset, so i think i painted his face black and got white out to make the eyes again. after that his arms and legs got all loose

Not a fig, rather my most beloved statue(s)...

At least I was able to fix this:

Not so much my fault but my cousins neighbors dog chewed my Ninja Turtles Mikey, one from the third movie, he was wearing a robe and you squeezed his legs and samurai armor came out of his shell. I was a very upset kid.

I was pretty devastated when the thumb on my original Snake Eyes broke when I was a kid. Never was able to fix it properly.

Yeah, my straight arm Snake Eyes joining the wounded warrior ranks was a sad day for me too.

Mego Hulk. Accidentally fell off the top of the bunk bed when I was a kid.

Mask-a-tron from The Six Million Dollar Man. He was made so just about every appendage could pop off. One day, the parts stopped staying in place and would pop off at the drop of a hat.
Not long after that, my mother threw him away.

I had that, what a great figure that was, makes me wish I kept all my old toys when I was younger :(

Just recently, my Sea Creature (Monsters Series 1) took a dive off the shelf and broke off his leg at the knee. I was able to fix it with some glue, but I was ultra-bummed: it was a gift from my wife back when we were dating in college, and the figure that got me back in to collecting.

Here's mine. Where? Hard to tell isn't it? The shield. I was putting it back in the cabinet when the shield fell and broke in zillion pieces. I fixed it though. Had to order paint and many tries to get it right. It's practically unnoticeable unless I point it, but I wish it never happened. Accidents, every collector's nightmare.

My deluxe movie Spawn action figure and the (I think)first Redeemer figure that was made(the one with the light up arm and chest with the black backpack looking thingy under his cape). I got them both on the same day and as soon as I opened the Redeemer I snapped his arm off because the back showed it as posable(but it wasn't :mad:) and the movie Spawn was the deluxe boxed figure with the wing like cape and multiple hands. He broke not to long ago when he took a swan dive and both his legs snapped off. They were already glued on because they were loose and I had to do it so he could stand properly. I tried gluing them back on but they didn't take. Both figures will be missed. :(

Broke the left arm off my G1 Megatron when I was 12. I tried everything possible to fix it: tape, glue, rubberbands, etc. I finally got it back on but he would never transform again.

Oh well, he's been replaced.

One of the best figures of all time.

I woke up this morning my my NECA Spider Man McF 3D cover fell off the wall....the resin part had actually separated from the cardboard back. Amazingly enough, nothing broke and with some high quality glue work I should be able to repair it.
