    Today, I caught my finger when I was collapsing Ratchet's arm. I have a tiny bruise there.

    I also nicked my fingers on the edges of MT Cupola's plastic, because it was quite sharp.

    Transforming Maketoys Visualizers made my fingers very sore.

    Yes, because I'm very agile.

    Managed to thrust generations Nightbeat door window under nail on my left thumb.

    All the freaking time. Combination of small hands and not being the most coordinated of people.

    I once jabbed under my thumb nail trying to get MP Bluestrak's chest untabbed. It started bleeding, too. Other than that, it's mostly just pinches and pokes.

    I've pinched myself on Supreme figures. I believe both Starscream and Unicron. Maketoys Tailgate is too pointy to me, but I forget if it's actually hurt me. I personally dislike 3P toys that are violently pointy especially in this case since it's such a "soft" character if that makes sense.

    G1 Jetfire has spring loaded die cast landing gear and the release lever is placed perfectly so the wheels crack you in the center of your fingernail when it flips open. It's been claiming victims for over 30 years.

    One time, I was transforming Cybertron Metroplex. I was about 8, and I wasn't thinking when I was doing the leg transformation. It pinched one of the "seams" of my finger, and it hurt quite a bit. It healed up quickly, but it hurt for a couple of days.

    Oh wow, I forgot all about that, as it's been nearly 30 years since I had mine, but I felt phantom pain in my index finger and thumb nails when I read that! :D

    It was worth it.
