How fragile are the Medicom bodies. I don't have any yet, but I've heard that they aren't too sturdy. How true is that?

I hear of a lot of peoples breaking. I have quite a few medicoms and have never once experienced a break on the figure or felt the figure to fragile to break. But I do hear that in a lot of cases where the figure has broken it happened while the person was doing some crazy pose.........

Their bodies are very fragile. Medicom bodies have two weaknesses 1.) they are fragile and 2.) they are short. I wish Medicom would fix both of these but man you can create the most natural and realistic poses with them. You just have to be careful!! Medicom is improving in all areas of their figures and it baffles me that they haven't upgraded their crappy plastic they use for their bodies yet.

Let me repeat, you can heighten the medicom bodies. The fragile body constst of 2 parts, the shoulder blades and the hip joint/shaft.
WHile I agree that the joints should be more sturdier, why should the height be a problem? To fit with sideshow stuff? I dont see the need. And since, let me repeat, you can heighten most of the figures, it should not be a problem. To be honest, I'd rather have an option to heighten a figure rather to have them fixed ad have no choice but change the whole body.

It's too bad Medi seems light on accessories, it'd have been nice if Jango had his other jetpack and the cloak he work in the deleted scene with Dooku and the separatists.

I have....I dropped my Medicom Neo and it broke and all it did was fall on carpet from chest level!!! Granted it's apartment carpet, which sucks but it did break. It broke at the hip joint--the right one to be exact. However, I had an extra Medicom body that was broken at the ankle (given to me by a buddy who broke it) and I just switched it out. I get my information from personal experience.

They are too small for every line including HT, BBI, SS, etc.... At 11.5" tall, they are too small in my opinion. That's just my opinion but I will stick by it. I have seen people extend them but you can't add that much height. Sure if you pose them all by themselves or if you just collect Medicom, then it would be great. But that's not how I display mine or how I choose to collect.

Maybe Medicom should make a more durable body. These aren't glass you know...they are suppose to be "action" figures. I can't help it if Medicom chooses to use cheap plastic.

They are more fragile than any other 1/6 body I've found.
I have over 200 SSC figures - none have broke. I have over 100 Dragon figures and maybe 2 have broke. I have about 15 Medicom figures and one broke just from standard posing.

Out of all my medicom figures that i've had i never had a problem with any except comic spiderman which was my fault.(don't play with your figures with booze)
But i'm sure they're a tad more fragile(more complex body more chances to break)I could probably throw a SS body off a balcony and it would be fine since theres nothin to it.
(but to the original poster..there's nothin to worry about)

This is true. Im perfectly happy with medicom bodies, I don't mangle my figures so there's no need for me to worry about it.
Dr Brad if it's such an issue for you then Sideshow is your best option.

I can honestly say in the time I've been collecting Medicom I've never had one incident with the RAH body breaking....................... but then again I'm a MIB collector

Yep, the first figure in the series was Will Smith's character and the likeness sucked, then they made loads of alien figures and people were saying it was cos they couldn't do human likenesses, but then they released Tommy Lee Jones character and the likeness blew everyone away. You've never heard of the line?
