Top Ten Broken Figures (who is the most easy to broke?)

Postby lestodante » July 21st, 2018, 9:14 am

This is my chart about the most easy-to-broke figures.
It is based not just on my collections but also considering auctions I saw on ebay through the years.
So let's see who has the weakest weapon of all:

Female Barbarian (sword and sometimes shield too)
Zanrath, High Mage (moon staff)
Barbarian (sword)
Elf (sword)
Gargoyle (whip, wings or horns)
Fanrax, Necromancer (dagger)
Ice Gremlin (stalactite)
Elf Warrior or Archer (sword and arrow)
Skeleton (scythe, feet)
Sinestra (wolf staff)

Not only the female barbarian comes from a rare pack but she is also the most fragile figure in my opinion, so she owns the 1st place on this chart.
Well, all the figures can broke, of course, sometimes I've also seen Wizards with broken staff (can't really understand how they broke it),

Missing/Lost Pieces:
Gargoyle (head)
Sinestra (head)
Frozen Horror (head)
Ogre (head or arms)
Polar Warbear (head)
Yeti (head)


And now... The Unbrakables!
These 2 figures are very strong and rarely I've see a broken one:
Dwarf
Chaos Warrior

PS: none of the figures in the pic were broken by me... :?

The only figures I have ever broken, and I have 4 sets and all the expansions, are 2 goblin swords, one orc sword, and 1 Skeleton scythe. One Barbarian sword is showing signs of bending. I treat my light blue figures with the utmost reverence!

When I pulled my HQ out of storage a few years back, I was horrified to see that five out of six goblins had their weapons snapped off.

There was also damage to 2 orcs, 1 skelly, the gargoyle, the High Mage, some of the mercenaries, and of course the Barbarian.
But I'm going to say the goblins, considering the high percentage of casualties.

Had even the feet broken here and there.
I was lucky when I bought my version, there were at least three sets of minis. But none of them complete. The seller was removing the casualties before sending.
