Also, I read one review in which the figure broke in multiple spots (specifically the tail and the bee claw) but haven't really been able to figure out if that is a common problem or not.

This literally causes the figure to be unable to support its own weight (Due to the heavy tail & claws) and becomes quite a pain to statically display as it topples into a heap.

Other than that, and the occasional Bee/Spring Claw mechanism issue, it's absolutely brilliant.
I had one of these when I was a kid. Sadly sold it long ago. But when I did have him, he was amazing. Never had any issues and I played with it to no end, heck he was even thrown around and beat down. Nothing ever broke or became loose, surprisingly :P
