    Flipout just came out so he’s easily available online. Use that Agabyss coupon.

    No need to stick it in the freezer. You just have to immediately put it under cold water after boiling it. It's an extremely easy process and works well on the soft plastic. Hair dryers can heat beyond boiling point which permantly damages the soft plastic. Boiling water won't damage the soft plastic. Boiling water also works great on stress marks for most plastics, but it seems to "whiten" vintage Transformers G1 plastics, where oddly the hair dryer method works better due to that problem. Again, boiling water on modern figures and/or soft plastics ... extremely carefully applied hair dryer method on vintage Transformers. Boiling water works great on all Masters of the Universe figures. I use this method often on repairing figures for my eBay store.

    Hmm...... now I just gotta figure out how to build a splint or something to hold it back in the right shape while I heat it up.

    Damn. I don’t see an easy way to flatten that. Maybe a vice grip
