[QUOTE="Joe, post: 427454, member: 440"] It's always a good idea to be sure that any "NSW" figure hasn't been forced apart. It's hard to tell from pictures but a true "NON" sonic welded figure should have no broken tabs or signs of ever being fused together with the other torso half. Easier to tell in hand just by running your finger around it. On this LXW I can see what appears to be some notches/missing bits of plastic at the bottom which may indicate it was once sealed and has been cracked open (either by accident by a kid or on purpose by a collector) so my advice is to take some really good close up images of those areas just in case. In truth, 90% of the NSW figures that are out there are just weak seals that have come apart over time but obviously they are fun and people like these kinds of things as oddities/curiosities. I think most people would prefer a clean example that has literally just fallen apart over one that was forced apart though. [/QUOTE]
