What are your tricks for straightening bent/curled minis? I have a couple of swords that look like tentacles and a few "off-balance" figures who can't stand up straight. When the minis first came out, one of the WoTC web reviewers spoke of using a hair dryer to straighten some curl, and recently someone mentioned the "water trick" to straighten an ill-mailed Champion of Eilistraee. What are these tricks? Are there others we should know about or avoid?

WotC - making me wish more and more every day for a return to the TSR days. :( I fought the snark and the snark won. I'm baaaaaaaaaaack! Some of my favorite Maxminis quotes I actually love to be swallowed. - Posted By gss_000 on 09/04/2007 2:32 PM Could somebody explain Snatch to me? I understand the basics, but not how to enter/use it. - Posted by orcmonk220 G's the man. - Posted By greyhaze on 11/11/2008 8:58 AM I dont mind butting heads every once in a while. It makes thing interesting. Thats why I'd be heartbroken if Ghendar ever left - Posted By Count Dooku on 04/03/2006 11:58 AM

In addition to Glumag's hot water trick, I've found that an ice cube held against a sword will put it back straight without a lot of fuss, though it may take a few minutes. I've gotten this to work wonders on a couple of Elf Swashbucklers and a justicator

I've been tempted to insert a needle in the thing to keep it from being bent up so badly. R~
