I had assumed it was just the luck of the QA draw. Oddly enough the same thing had happened with my Bat Primal, with one of his arms.
It is only now, reading shared tales, I realised my issues were not in isolation. I've even seen other pictures online of other Bat Primals, all missing the same right arm. It is wild.
Although, aside from Bat Primal, TM Megatron and Rampage (left leg, from the knee), I never had breakage issues with anyone else.
Funny enough, when i got my Bat Primal a few weeks ago, he was missing his right arm. I've thankfully since got one to put on him, but I didn't know that was a more common thing either.

It was very easy even then to get the ones I wanted on eBay for excellent prices. It really is remarkable how well a lot of them have held up as far as design quality and articulation over the years. Anyway, here is my Beast Era shelf. Apologies for the low quality images. My TFs shelf is actually in a closet so the lighting isn't the best; especially at night when these were taken.
Super sweet collection! And I see a BWII Magnaboss, nice!!
I really want to see a new Silverbolt and Tigerhawk with increase articulation. Those 2 are my favorites and I wish Silverbolt could move a bit more and put his wings in the right place, and I wish Tigerhawk could move more too. they are both so good, but could really use a little bit more
