Star Wars Stormtrooper Action Figure, Not for Play

My son loves Star Wars stormtroopers. I’m not sure what the appeal is, but he loves them. Today, he picked out a Star Wars Stormtrooper action figure at Target (it also came with a Star Wars coin), and it’s feet fell off within an hour of play. Not only that but the gun is affixed to the Stormtrooper’s hand with a rubber band. Suffice it to say, once the rubber band comes off, it’s nearly impossible to get the Stormtrooper to hold the gun again.
The packaging says this toy is for children ages 4 and up. My son is just about 4, but this toy is definitely not good for kids that young. I think a more appropriate age would be 8 and up. Young children are too rough on this toy, which falls apart too easily.
Keep in mind, Star Wars action figures from Hasbro come in more character forms than just Stormtroopers, so be careful before you buy these for your young children else they may end up disappointed like my son did.
