The following three catalog entries contain the Furty torso ...

 
Minifig No: loc046  Name: Furty
* 
loc046 (Inv) Furty
Minifigures: LEGENDS OF CHIMA

 
Part No: 973pb1538c01  Name: Torso Vest with Dark Red Belt, White Bandana and Brown Necklace Pattern / Medium Nougat Arms / White Hands
* 
973pb1538c01 (Inv) Torso Vest with Dark Red Belt, White Bandana and Brown Necklace Pattern / Medium Nougat Arms / White Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

 
Part No: 973pb1538  Name: Torso Vest with Dark Red Belt, White Bandana and Brown Necklace Pattern
* 
973pb1538 Torso Vest with Dark Red Belt, White Bandana and Brown Necklace Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Torso

The Dark Brown torso, contained in all of those three catalog entries, may be
brittle. In my own non-scientific sample, greater than 50% of them will chip,
shatter, or break, when the arms are removed or the hips/legs are inserted. Out
of an abundance of caution, I am removing all those from my store, along with
any remaining copies of 70111-1.

A follow up with some better statistics, of 38 torsos, 25 of them shattered/chipped
when removing the arms/hands. Of the remaining 13, 8 of them chipped from inserting/removing
the hips and legs. Of the remaining 5, 2 of them allow the hips/legs to be inserted
and it is buttery smooth. The other 3 are difficult to insert remove.

That's a failure rate over 85%. I'm not going to list any of the 5 for
sale.
