I don't know jack about this stuff and I trust you folks way better than Google, so:
What's the best way to pry a figure's hand apart wide enough so that it'll hold its accessory? Specifically, Thrasher and his club. Is it safe to heat and then pry its hand? I'm afraid it'll break. Thanks! Last edited by Jonathan; 05-01-2024 at 06:44 PM.. |

Be as safe as possible use boil water method dunk until soft than bend to your preference than ur good .a blow drier can warp but works faster.

Yeah, the boiling method is best, it is safe for the paint and prevents the plastic from drying out while heating. Heat gun or hair dryer is OK for removing stickers.
