Anyone know if minifigures sitting down will cause cracks? I just found out I’ve
been displaying them wrong and half of my minifigures have cracks in them so
I’m really paranoid. Thanks 😊

Hi,
I guess you mean cracks in the Torso? Backside. It is a regular type of damage
in minifogs. I can imagine that by bending the legs into a sitting position,
you add some stress to the back of the torso. With older torso's (maybe a
bit more brittle, but maybe new ones can have the same), this may lead to cracked
torso's.

You could check the torso-insides of the torso's. Are they all from a certain
typen (for example the old ones (1979ish) without inside ribs. Or do you see
this as well with the newest torso's (I think with X-ribs or something).

Kind regards,
Remko
