The more "rubberised" plastic making the Secret Wars toys means more of those are intact after 20-someodd years than Marvel Legends hard plastic (which has a tendency to snap while getting the toy out of the blister pack).

I. Joe ripoffs to replace broken diecast limbs. Or all my badly dammaged diecast figurines sitting next to the in much better shape resincast ones, many of which have gone through more moves.

Die-cast toys simply do not undergo any sort of force analogous to the ones that would take down a building made of rigid materials without extreme circumstances. The scale is simply far too different. Shake it, drop it, throw it against a brick wall with all your strength, and you're just not going to snap any parts but the thinnest. (You will scuff the crap out of it, though.) Oh, I can.

So I take it he's saying quit being dummies, there is a reason for the plastic. He’s talking to people who complain about plastic and think only die cast I think.

Children can be pretty rough on their toys. Maybe not as rough as an earthquake would be on a building, but that's the point of the comparison. They are childrens’ toys.

Just make it tall enough and the wind forces will shear it for you. Not that you need it to be built on a faultline. Just make it tall enough and the wind forces will shear it for you.

From Willis' view, anyway. I don't give a crap. That’s not a problem; if you think that because they are metal they are automatically mode durable than plastic, then that IS a problem.
