I should really do this to my Nayab American Cheetah. Thanks for this helpful thread!

The poor fool can hardly stand up. He's too busy kicking himself! Laughing lol!

That or he has an uncomfortable itch Laughing The hairdryer would probably work for you too. Very Happy

He's made of PVC. Should I try hot water and cardboard, or the hairdryer?

Either would be fine, I prefer the hairdryer just because I'm less likely to hurt myself. Laughing You're probably better off with the hairdryer as well so you have the faucet handy for the cold water. I haven't experienced this with the PVC models, but I've noticed the plastic going cloudy on cellulose acetate when not cooled off right away study

I wanted to add this video in this very useful topic from our kind Sue! Very Happy
Ikessauro, a dino collector that makes lots of great walk around videos, made this simple video tutorial about how to fix a bent part in a plastic figure. It is in Portuguese language but it is quite simple, he is using a cup of hot water and then, a cup of cold water, preferrably with ice if possible. Link is here!
