The joints don’t break apart but they don’t hold the weight.
I had to add a break. Now it works for me.

Cool. Definitely better than a flat foot. That’s exactly what I’m talking about,
although for a supermassive mecha I’d need to have this toe joint be either worm
gear controlled or have an adjustable strut of some kind that forms a triangle
to lock it in place for stability. (I’d be satisfied with two locked toe
positions, flat and 45 degrees.)

ps - Once you finish the rest of the mecha you may find that you need to beef up
the foot even more. They always end up heavier then you expect, making the foot
components creak and crackle alarmingly.
