i use to abuse my action figures when i was little. I remember me and my friend outside tied strings on our action figures' feet and through them in air just to see how far they would go up.

I remember this time where me and my cousin put our gi joe figures in a bowl of water and then put them in the freezer only to try to chip them out later.

and if you think thats bad, my friend use to burn the faces of his action figures in the sun with a magnifying glass.

I use to really look after my figures, that why I still have boxes of them still complete. However, my brother didnt look after mine.

One time we were playin with them, and he threw the foot soldier in the air, and when it came down, its legs were missing.
Another time he was swinging Bebop around the room, by his legs, and smacked its hand off the bed, and one of its hands broke off.

Another time, he pulled Rocksteadys legs off, filled him full of sand, then popped his legs back on.


I think my brother did it on purpose, cuz he knew i loved the bad guys and that they were my favourite characters and toys.


But now, just in case, i bought Loads of each of them figures. just incase my brother happenes to want to see them again.

16 foot soldiers should keep him occupied

figures

I was always careful with my Turtle figures, tried to keep their weapons and not lose them. Occasionally I'd sit and pull their hands or legs out of the sockets. Usually I managed to get them back in, esp. if they'd been sitting in the sun then they were easy and rubber like.

The only figure I really messed up playing with the appendages was my Dirtbag figure...broke the little thing that holds his legs in place so they hung loose after that...oopsy

I'd go over to my friends houses and find Turtles with no weapons or belts...I'd dig through their toy boxes to see if I could find them...usually didn't. Of course they could care less about their weapons or belts but I'd always ask what happened to them...silly Turtle fanatic I was.

Id never do that to one of my action men.
Al my action men are still in their boxes in mint.

However, i did buy a cheap £1.99 fake actionman, just to tear him limb from limb.

That is the funniest thing I have ever heard of. I mean I feel bad, but whoa. It reminds me of this time were I was in an alley and I found a toy, which I still play with, frozen solid in a tire. Here I am, blowing hot breath until it came loose...

Reminds me of Sid from Toy Story.....
There was this kid at work who fit the description exactly. Braces, short, brown hair, loud, obnoxious, wanted everything his way... "I WANT A BUTTER FINGER!"

I actually took pretty good care of my toys, hardly anything ever wrong with them. I remember one time I used the powers of thought to transform a Tupperware container into an isolation cell. It worked, and both myself and the toy are all the better for it.

I was a perfectionist, still am in a way...... I wouldent let my brother smash the figures together to resemble some sort of fighting/wresteling. I hated getting those paint wears and paint scuffs, I mean were dose that random red stripe come from when no one in the "fight" has any red on them!?!? I was so upset when he got a scratch on michangelo's plastron that I was taken that same day to get a new one.

I had a dog that had some strange obsesion with donatello. She ate three of the original model Don figures. Not completly a limb or two, but still I refused to even touch them afterwards because he was too imperfect.

I did take one of my sister's old barbies and sawed a leg off at the knee, cut its hair funny, pounded nails through it, painted blood and a black on it and blow toarched its arm. Good times. Then I made a noose and hung it from the ceiling! NEVER WOULD DO THAT TO A TURTLES FIGURE THOUGH! the horror of the thought.
