Yes, hold it with 2 fingers to help brace it(on the body itself), so your not depending on the small piece of plastic
The shoulder joint itself is solid and can make almost any pose

Bandito has diagramed it beautifully on how to hold it a couple pages back.
I also showed the way I moved mine as well.
I've put my Spidey through the ringer of poses now, the shoulders have been through a tremendous stress and workout, and I can tell you guys everything is still tight and solid since the day I took it out of the box last week, especially the shoulders. In other words, when I grab it now to pose it feels like I'm posing it for the very first time...incredible that I can say this.
Don't be afraid, btw, it has taken many falls off the shelf sometimes from the poses not setting right at first, but that's easily fixed thereafter and the only thing that fell off was the head, which makes sense since it's removable.

Just got the jacket for my custom. Man, it is turning out better than I had anticipated.

Love the jacket I found. Fits really well. Also found a black backpack which is the closest I'm going to get until Toystrike or somebody else creates an accessory kit for him. Only other thing I may try to do is find some lighter colored jeans to break up the black on black.

I get your point. But isn't every Hot Toy plagued by something fragile? It seems to be part and parcel of the high end collectible game. Either it's delicate paint that rubs, a piece of clothing or metal that breaks easily, something that takes specific and delicate use such as Loki's helmet. Sure, it shouldn't be a joint, and no I don't think it's good to have a joint prone to easy breakage, but like you said, ppl have figured out how to handle it properly. All toys have a proper way to handle it and an improper way. With this, that tolerance is a bit on the low end, which sucks, but I don't necessarily see it is as too different than any of the other finicky problems, like needing to tilt the head of a figure with hair before turning it to avoid paint rubbing. If this joint just broke no matter how you used it, that would be inexcusable, but it simply needing to be handled a certain way isn't as bothersome to me on it's surface as it is to you and others. It's clearly a newer design HT is using. If people complain enough and give negative reviews and feedback about it, even while people are buying it, odds are HT will move on to a new design.

As messed up as it is, this is still a great figure, even with broken shoulders
I have to do the exact same things to pose it,as if it wasn't broken
After having both(medi and ht)in hand, this is the amazing spidey fig to get, even with its shortcomings
Probably going to throw my medi up on eBay
But, I agree with the post above, my 89 Keaton ankle broke, supes emblem is coming off on one corner, etc

My figure hasn't arrived yet, but from what I've seen on here, Hot Toys included a piece of paper with a diagram, instructing to not rotate the shoulders higher than 80 degrees or something like that. But it doesn't seem like that really addresses or prevents the issue, because the people who have broken shoulders are all saying that theirs broke way before they got to that 80 degree point.

Nope..second week in and hundreds of extreme poses later, no problems
C'est Magnifique!

No, it's just the way he's sitting.

now we wait for his head...I already have the scratchless one coming
It's not the side lateral movement that going to break it, it's the front to back that will
