    I've bought tons, and they were ALL okay.... so long as you don't try to make them sit.

      I bought several and they fell apart as soon as I picked them up. the head sculpt is cool but like all their other 8" bodies, the skeleton body is garbage. i just took the heads and put them on regular bodies - doc mego bodies

        Just received two skeletons & I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised--I def. like them better than CTVT bodies.

        The pelvis on one did pop off when I posed the legs, which is I think due to the range of motion vs. the molding of the socket. But the pelvis was easily re-glued.

        Thanks for the advice, everybody; I think these will be fine for what I have in mind.
        WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

            Aren't they great? I really like mine too...there's so many possibilities for these. I'll be ordering more of them down the line, for sure.

            It's odd, out of the 7 of mine that didn't come apart, I have 5 of them posed in full-on sitting positions (which is the main reason I bought them). After the first two popped off, I posed a 3 or 4 of them (very slowly and very carefully) without a problem. Then all of sudden, "SNAP" on the third bad one.

            I think a better quality of adhesive might have prevented the problem. Once reglued with Duco Cement, the broken three are good as new (and fully poseable).

              Skeleton + old AJ outfit = instant Scooby Doo bad guy. I have a bunch in old half complete outfits. Easiest custom ever.

              And the sitting problem seems to have something to do with the hip pins: they have a sort of ridge that pries the pelvis apart of you rotate them too much. It could be a weird molding error.
