I think i get what you mean, so if i wanted his arm out in front of him, i'd have to move the arm out to the side of his body and then begin to move it forward?
is that right?

Very hard to describe this without doing a video (I don't do video).
But this might help. I don't think this is a radically different body, or that it's anymore flawed than some of HT's recent bodies. I just had a look at the stock Captain America Spangled body, it's arms are worse than this. They are extremely stiff and ratchet joint one way but are loose up and down, try to do anything even remotely extreme and they will break.
So what I'm saying here is this..
Fragile badly made HT body is made even more fragile and breakable by the fact it's Spiderman. Or course you are gonna try and position his arms as if web slinging. HT have gotten away with it for a while now with more sedentary licenses. This could be the perfect (plastic) storm. But I don't think the body is "faulty" per se, if it was it would be broken out of the box IMO.
And no, I haven't tried to bend his arms backwards, nor do i intend to, I
didn't do that with the Medi either. Not my thing.
Treat the TT shoulder like a balljoint and it will break.
So sorry if this has been discussed already, but I just moved and didn't have internet for about two weeks, and I just don't have the patience to read through two week's worth of posts.
For those who have the figure already, how durable does the suit feel?

Are older figures such as DX05, DX06, DX08 etc not made with this type of shoulder joint too?
From what Rory says its a new design.
No I didn't say it was new design, I said that on more recent releases the thin piece of plastic which attaches the shoulder joint to the body seems thinner and more fragile.
Sorry man, going by the pictures and your description it seemed like a new design. So basically it's just Hot Toys cut corners by using a thinner piece of plastic?
Well I received an email from timcent this morning stating "1. Be very very careful of the shoulder joints, don't use too much strength." So I'll venture to guess shoulder breakage is already pretty common. This with only a small minority having it in hand.
In fairness, he messaged that to people before anyone got them in hand? So I don't really think it's much of an indication of anything.
This is the second message I've received from him. I don't have him in hand yet. The first message did not specify shoulder breakage. I guess my point is, the 2members on here are not alone. Unless they purchased from timcent and the message from timcent is a response to those 2 single cases....
Is there anything in the instructions, warning us from moving the arm directly up in front of him?
