    20200202_211629.jpg 20200202_211345.jpg I'm loving the S1 head. But not having much luck in straightening the antennas. Any tips? Have tried the hairdryer treatment, which works for a while, but they slowly return to original shape.

    After straightening when using a hair dryer, are you immediately running the antenna under cold water to set them in place?

    Ahh, the guide I followed said to simply hold in place.

    Will try what you've suggested tomorrow.

    Thanks

    Thank you man! I'll stop playing coy and admit I was going for the screenshots below (from "Child's Play") :D  The second one is so weird, it kinda pained me to pose him that way knowing it would look strange no matter what :lol 

    But I kinda feel like I'm cheating since these figures are so naturally expressive, as you say! They almost look good no matter what you do!

    You don’t need heat at all. Just bend them in the opposite direction of the curve and hold for a few seconds. Be careful not to bend too far of course. You want to bend and hold a few times further than straight so that eventually the plastic wants to be straight at rest. A few of us have done this and it worked well.

    Was that from the Space Bridge episode or the oil tanker hijackings? Child's play?

    Just remember don’t heat it too long. One fellow member overheated and the plastic got deformed...he posted pictures quite awhile back.

    Considering that G1 and specifically that episode predates Jojo, it’s more likely that Jojo went full Optimus! :D

    This statement in the Product Details section gave me a little giggle & nervousness all in one.

    They're cool big buddy. They don't sell "returned" items if that is your concern.
