General Wolverine action figure question.

[DJ Kornphlake]

Are there any simple ways to reshape bent claws on a Wolverine figure so that they look right?

Yup, one really easy way, a hairdryer. The plastic on the claws are very soft, simply run a hair dryer over them until the claws begin to go limp (sounds wrong ) and hang down a bit, then hold them in the position you want as they cool off. I did it for my brown costume Wolverine and his claws are perfectly straight.

Fading CB hit it on the head. Hope it works out for you Kornphlake.

Or there is always the Replace them with Bobby Pins approach

This kinda take the bobby pin mod outta the question.

I haven't done it, but saw Jin do it on his site. His instructions make everything seem so simple but I'm afraid I'll screw things up lol.

Its fairly simple but its time consuming. I think Kornphlake wants a quick fix, thus the hairdryer method is best.

I've done one set of claws on my FO Wolverine variant and although its easy its just takes a while to make sure you do it right.

I don't think bobby pins would be big enough for the 12" figure I have (I'm a size queen ).
