Title: Argh...stupid elastics
Post by: Pete The Greek 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.

I remember the 'fork' and 'spoon' thing from the Chunky Soup commercials, but I never watched the Tick.  :oops:

The Tick was not a good comic...or a good live action show...but the cartoon....that cartoon was the best ever...without a doubt!!

Corn soldier to tick and Arthur..."hey who are you guys?"

Arthur..."Why were are cornels"

Big Shot?aka a Punisher rip off:

Mom why didn?t you love me?



And with such great characters as never seen anywhere before?like Captain Mucilage?.and Bi-Polar Bear?and The Carpeted Man?The Swiss?.and Johnny Polite??do you like Chocolate Jonnie???...? ?Why yes I do??ca-splat!!!



Have a look:

The cartoon and the live action are BOTH great in my opinion.
I know Ed got hooked on the Live Action one just because I was playing it in the store (think I'll put it on now actually!).
