I think Wolvie came out of the freezer too soon...

Thanks to a tip from werewolfoz, i threw Wolvie in the freezer with taped up claws for a couple days.

Worked at first, but it seems as though he's begining to thaw. But I could have two possible downfalls.

1. I didnt have any masking tape, so I used some electrical tape instead. So it might have been to think/insulated to work properly.

2. I may have also taken him out too early. werewolfoz said a couple of days, so i just left him in there for 3... i thought i might have been releasing him too soon, but ah well...

In anycase, it certainly looks better than it did before. But so far, its slowly turning back into what it was...

Also, I got another fig I'm testing it out on:

Trying it out on this guys helmet anntenae. Wrapped them a bit looser too. So we'll see what happens... (on Teusday?)

Well.........electrical tape should work the same. The tape's purpose is only to secure the claws in a certain position, so, you could really use anything........

...but, shit, here's something else I just remembered about what I did......

I got him just a little while before moving into my new house, and instead of giving all my figures to a mover to haul over, I just boxed them all and stored them at my Uncle's place. When packing away all my Marvel Legends, I didn't want his claws to get bent, so.........I left the tape on, holding that same position...

......which means my Wolverine actually had that tape holding his claws in place for a few months after his stay in the freezer [img]confused.gif[/img]

ah, months out of the freezer too... that makes sense... now i gotta decide whether i should try it, or live with it. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

what did you use for yours?

[MrSparkle]

Sewing needles. Looks pretty good too. I remember someone said they used paper clips too.

[UrashimaNick]

yeah, i tried using paper clips once, but couldnt straighten them out decent enough...

i may have to give the sewing needles thing a shot

thanks!
