Argh...stupid elastics
« on: February 14, 2005, 09:44:27 AM »
I don't know why Hasbro decided to put those clear elastics on the figure hands within the comic 3 packs.  Some of the figure's hands are seriously ruined because of this.  I didn't realize the impact of this until I opened one of the packs.  My Brekhov figure's right hand has permanant creases caused by the force of a tight elastic on a soft hand.  

So if you guys are planning to open up the packs down the road, I suggest you do it now rather than later to avoid the plastic from further getting cut.  I opened up all the packs I have a result just to take of the elastics.  Argh.

Leave the guns in hand with the elastic if you just want to display them like I do.

or boil some water and place there hands in it...this will soften the plastic and it will return to its original form...just do not leave it in to long or let the plastic touch metal...I would sugest that you tie him to a spoon and then you can dip him in with ease........................! :thumbsup:

I don't think that will get the damage out. Getting the shape of the hand back is easy with the use of your hands. Grooves, I am not sure.
