No, the peg didn't break into 2 pieces. The peg broke off from the base, which was just plastic, leaving the peg stuck in the leg with just a small piece sticking out.
Your "Cordelia" figure looks to have the peg being separate from the base so you insert the peg into the leg and then put the peg into the base (or vice versa)? That's a bit safer, IMHO, since the only ways that a problem can happen are:
1. The leg breaks off from the pose.
2. The little "stump" thing in the base separates from the base itself.
The "Canaan" figure's peg looks to be glued or somehow stuck into the base for good. If the figure isn't being put onto the peg carefully enough, that peg can shear off, IMHO. That "hold" doesn't look strong enough to take shearing pressure.
Also, if you don't apply the pressure to put the figure onto the peg in line, that peg - depending on what it's made of - might bend as well, which can make the figure unbalanced and tilts to one side.
