I agree that Diecast is highly overrated, at least the one good thing about it here is that Wolvie's claws stood up to taking a face plant directly to the claws because of that piece of s*&# crotch grabber stand. The figure itself is so top heavy that you have to be careful that the balance is right in extreme poses otherwise he'll teeter forward or back, more often forward directly onto the claws if the arms are in front. It's happen twice, short face plants onto the shelf the figure is on and the claws are alright.
Though if the claws did break because of a face plant and Pot-metal is not know for it's great strength, I wouldn't have any issue contacting Sideshow for a replacement since I blame them for going with the terrible stand design.
If they were plastic, I would have to break out the Superglue.
