Not angry, just disappointed...

This weekend my 2003 Splinter figure fell off the shelf (only about 3 feet high), landed on carpeted floor, and his tail broke off at the base. This greatly ruined my day. I haven't played with the new figures that much. They mainly sit on a shelf just to look cool. I haven't even had them a year and already one of them has broken. I thought these new figures were a lot better than the old ones just because of the level of detail, but now I'm not so sure.

I've had my old TMNT figures for about 15 years, and none of them have broken (excpet for the ones my dumbass brother and his friend shot with a BB gun). I played with the old figures all the time. Since they're action figures, I'm sure I played rough with them, but my old Splinter's tail is still intact.

I just can't believe that one of my new figures is broken from such an insignificant drop. I'm just going to have to settle for his tailed being super glued on. Has anyone else had any such issues with the craftsmenship of these new figures or is it just my own bad luck???
