    knights armor?

    Looking carefully at the Knights' armor, it seems obvious that it was originally designed with tabs to "snap" together and be secured so by the shoulder & belt pieces.

    Was the glue added because of shipping or safety concerns? I always thought this was weird--what if the figure breaks?

    For Tinman (issued later?), the torso piece seems "welded." so maybe it was a safety issue?

      I suspect it's 'cos the tabs would break off way too easy.

          I know with tinman it also looks like tabs but they are "welded" together....i have one that came apart and the snaps never work it always comes apart so maybe they just wanted to keep it together
