After having my 10th Anniversary Dinobot break from Brittle Plastic today, I decided that we need a reference guide of toys to be careful of.
The obvious ones...
Gen2 Slingshot (1994) - majority is gold plastic, and is prone to breaking.
Pretender Skyhammer (1989) - gold plastic on outer shell can break easily when opening and closing.
Mirage (1984) - mid-section is prone to breaking.
Euro Spark/Pyro (1993) - mid-section gold plastic breaks easily with transformation.
Euro Turbomaster weapons (1992) - gold plastic posts break off easily.
Beast Wars Transmetal Megatron (1997) - brown chest plastic is brittle.
RiD Optimus Prime (2001) rubber tyres split easily.
RiD Ultra Magnus (2001) rubber tyres split easily.
10th Anniversary Dinobot (2006) - brown plastic on robot legs is brittle, when plugging them onto the posts to form Dino mode... post holes can split and break.
TF2 Voyager Bludgeon (2009) - gap in hand is too narrow for large sword, so is known to break fingers/thumb.
Animated Arcee (2010) - gap in hand is too narrow for swords, so causes stress marks.
JP Masterpiece Starscream (green) (2006) - used softer 'model' plastic which isn't able to take as much force/strain when transforming the parts.
JP Masterpiece Megatron (2007) - shoulder joints were known to break with too much force.
