FRAGILE WARNING
The sole purpose for the Fragile Warning is to alert the buyer of potential harm that could come to the item with, or without proper precautions. There are some TMNT items that were not made properly, especially when neglect and age has persisted. Unfortunately, this is a Playmates Toys reality. The engineering process of some of the TMNT items by Playmates Toys was not thoroughly tested, and many damages have occurred by the original owner in the past- typically by a child. Typically these items are certain accessories like belts and weapons, but also ball joints to figures have been known to be a problem. A fragile warning is used to give the buyer advice as to how to properly maintain the item, without damaging it, due to item fragility and or repair. The Fragile Warning is there to give the best satisfaction possible without disappointment for buyer and seller alike, and also guidelines to follow if the buyer should damage the item. Every fragile warning will be scripted in the item pictures, mentioned in the item condition section, in the item description section, and also mailed on a slip of paper should with any buyer. If the buyer speaks a non-English language, a translated script will be provided if possible.
FRAGILE WARNING- Party Tube NET STRAP: This particular accessory is rare, and very fragile. This particular strap has been repaired using super glue. Bending the strap, or attaching it to the arm is NOT RECOMMENED. This could cause the strap to stress and break. Using the strap for its original intended purpose is NOT RECOMMENDED. No heat source to relax the strap should be considered. The strap will be sent with the utmost care, and and this alert with it. The strap is no longer able to fullfill it’s accessory purpose, but only for it’s collectible value. For strapping the net, a subsitute is recommended. Shell Shock Toys will reject or object any refund or return submitted for the breakage of this piece via the buyer or eBay Corp, or any other party of conflict. SELLER’S FINAL RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT TRY TO ATTACH OR USE THE NET STRAP TO THE TUBE. subtlethinker- "Hello fellow mutants! This repair was done by myself! Using super glue, I have attached the strap back together as one. Unfortunately, this is not first net strap to the Party Tube I have come across that has been broken and in need of repair. After 30+ years, these tend to get fragile, and brittle. Would you believe I have tried to strap a Party Tube net together only to break it to my dismay?! YUP! I've been there, and done that! I never had this item when it first came out, but after come across so many broken, I could only guess many kids broke these soon after purchase. I also guess that many have met their fate in the trash. This is not one Playmates Toys better designs, as they should have just used a rubber/vinyl material, but then again, rubber bands as accessories!"
