Just got some figures out of storage
A couple of figures have become a bit warped at the knee joint and the lower legs are at a funny angle
Does boiling water and resetting them fix or reduce this?
Any tips on storing figures to prevent this in future?
Cheers

That will help. Finding a way to have the legs stay in place as they cool down is key. I once used the plastic insert from the packaging to hold it in the freezer for about 30 minutes after boiling and it worked well.
I’ve also discovered storing the figures standing up helps keep the legs straight too.

Very easy way that I do it is run hot water till is hot then let the water run on the part of the figure that is warped for about 30 seconds until its loose then set the part in position and hold it and run cold water for like 10 seconds and it should stay in place. It always works for me and is really not a struggle. I do that also when I pop out the heads.

Almost every Tully Blanchard from the HOF four pack has this.

I have this problem with Tully, Elite RVD, Elite Steven Regal and the first DM Flair.
