ARGH! Drew, you're kidding, aren't you? :/ Are you sure you put together all
sub-models as shown at the images? It is ESSENTIAL for the balance of the
whole model (since it is really large) that you connect all parts at the right
angle, and with both arms and PPCs added it is perfectly balanced and simply
cannot fall on its butt. The physical model I built doesn't have ANY problem
like that one you reported ... I can even knock the model slightly withthout
it falling over. If you made a mistake while putting together the model it
might be unbalanced, thus causing the ankles to break. With a balanced model,
the design of the ankles is supposed to be earthquake-and-small-brother-proof.
I have much faith in this design, so I'm pretty sure the ankles could even
support much more weight. Maybe you should try brand-new bricks, they may have
a better "grip"?
good luck! ;)
