Help - figure won't stand up straight

[Rach147]

first off i apologize if this is not in the right thread
so recently i got the Charmed Paige series 1 figure off of ebay
when i got her the guy already said she had marks on her which i'm fine with
but when i went to put her on my shelf to display her she would not stand up
i tried the dipping her legs in the hot water and then cold water method DID NOT WORK -_-

my question is is there another way i can fix her legs, or am i screwed

Could you post a picture?

Also how long did you leave her in the boiling water. Generally for the plastic to soften up it takes about 3-5 minutes. Once out of hot water you have to place the figure on a flat surface and bend it back.

I have trouble every now and then with Piper's legs, but you have to do it just right to make it balance. The other option is to drill a hole in each foot and stand it up with a stand that has a peg.

You're definitely not screwed

I've found all three are a bit uneven. I've had several copies of all of them for customs and they've always been a mixed bag. BUT - boiling should work. They do get really quite soft. Just hold the legs in position, stood up, until they've cooled down naturally - really no need to use cold water at all, if anything you'll be letting go/grip getting loose in order to put it in cold water I'm guessing? Might take a few tries but should be fairly straight forward
