Well, it wasn't that funny.
I'm pretty immature so I've put other people's figures in dirty poses before. Granted they were mostly Kenner Star Wars figures not expensive Hot Toys or Sideshow pieces.
Disrespectful friends anyone?

My friends and family know better than to touch my stuff. They all knew me even before I started with these high end figures when I was into comics and records and they all know to handle things like they were from the Vatican Museum. In fact, I inspired them to use the same care with their own stuff. You could say I converted them into being Obsessive-Compulsive!
My wife is the only one that dares touch and repose my figures. Nothing as crude as your friends, but I trust her completely to be careful because a: she herself is an artist and knows how to handle objects carefully; and b: she knows how much they cost (she never lets me live down how much I spend on them!).

Or maybe he just cares more about his collectibles than getting drunk, high and stupid?

Display cases are a must!!! Behind closed doors. I tell my friends there is a no touch policy. Do not touch, unless they are touched first. Question is, if they broke something, would you end the party and/or ask them for $$$??

Threaten everybody else, pull the culprit out back and ask for payment via cash, check or teeth.

If my Endo broke I would easily demand cash for it.

That is pretty cool that you share your toys Wook!
I would rather have one break while being enjoyed than having it broken with someone being an a$$. I wouldn't want a break though at all if I had a choice.

It takes time to pose those babies, now I have to do it all over again.
I allready have issued a no touch policy, most of my friends respect that, but some dont as you can see
edit: I asked them if it was any reason why they left the T-600 alone, and the answer was that he lookes like he will rip your finger off if you touch him in the wrong way..
If a friend touches one of my figures it's really hard for me to stifle my disquiet. I know they don't realize how much time I spend on making my figures look the way they do.
Just tonight I had a friend over that hadn't seen my Takara Batman yet. The first thing he did was walk up to it and move the cape around to get a better look at the body. I am proud to say that I kept a good poker face, but on the inside I was screaming: 'Hands off jerk! I futzed with that cape for 20 minutes!!!'
Oh well, good thing I enjoy posing/futzing my figures.
Only thing is, every pose is unique and you can never get it exactly the way it was. I just try to tell myself that 'this time I'll get it even better'!

To be fair they hardly ever get hold of my stuff, and the two figs in that shot are very sturdy, you'd have to really go at it to do them some damage.
That was quite a few years ago as well, my eldest is nearly 9 now and she showed some interest in Sheva the other day so I let her have a look... I was actually sweating on that occasion!

That sounds exactly like me
