I've been futzing with the miniatures for a while, stripping paint, repainting, playing with them, boxing them, unboxing, etc. I've been doing this in the presence of cats and my own clumsy nature.In one painting session alone I dropped an x-wing nearly a dozen times. No bending, no snapping, just some bouncing and frightening plastic skittering sounds.
These minis are made of resilient plastic w/ rigid structure and a good amount of spring.
I know this is anecdotal, but compared to some other plastic miniature lines I think they did a good job getting rigid enough plastic to hold the fine details w/ out being brittle.
