Probably not. Mine had the stress marks out of package for one of the hands and as soon as I popped the sword in to the other one, instant stress mark. I was really careful too, but obviously not careful enough. My impression was the fingers were pretty durable even with the stress marks, but what really worried me was the constant stress of holding the swords.
But on a side note. I have an idea for replacement hands if the thumbs on mine ever break, barbie doll hands. I haven't fully thought this out yet, but they look about the same size and you can pick one up for like $2 at your local value village. Chop the doll's hands off at about the same length as Arcee's forearms and make a notch and paint. Just a random thought.
