Whats the score with figs coming fresh out of the packing warped? Can we return them to the store?
Just opened my elite Stardust and his left leg is massively warped, it appears to be the knee joint due to some stupid poses they choose to put them in, in the box

Heat it up and bend it back into shape.

Put the warped part into warm water and then bend it back into shape. It works everytime

The terrible way they are posed in the packaging screws up so many of the figures. It's rare now that I get a basic that doesn't have mangled feet, and it happens with elites too.

The feet issue has popped up a few times for me. My elite Punk's foot kinda shifts to the left/right when you touch where it meets the ankle. Makes him look bowlegged sometimes. Disappointing. |

Some of mine are warped. Undertaker likes to throw Mankind off of tall structures through tables. Then he tombstones him. Kane rips things off of their hinges. Paul Bearer is insane. Triple H makes you feel bad for having him lose. They're warped.
Or, is it me?

Try the hot water technique.

Not really a problem with elites for me.. more so on basics... I generally have a lot of success with the hot water technique.
Honestly I wouldn't return it myself as a lot of places still ask, "was it damaged or is there a reason for the return?" I'd feel pretty silly explaining the warped leg as an issue, and seeing the judgement on whoever's face. Normally I take a pretty "I don't give a crap" attitude, but that one would make me self-conscious.

I remember having a Jakks Chyna figure and breaking a leg off, and my Grandma marching me back to the shop for a refund. A top end embarassing moment |

Sometimes when I'm lazy and Basic legs are bent inward, I have them straddle my big black marker for a couple of days and they're fine.
