So I bought a Nightmare Moon online, and she's arrived today. Thing is, she was packaged in a tiny little box and the tips of her wings are all bent out of shape! *cries*. Is there a good way of bending them back into shape? I can't believe it, I've waited ages for her and now this. I guess that's what you get for free P&P...

My best guess: Use a hair dryer to warm it up enough that you can bend them back into place.

I've used boiling water and a pair of tweezers! Hold just the part you want starightenend (don't want to risk the paint) in very hot water for a little bit (doesn't take longer than 10 seconds or even less) hold the wing tips with the tweezers in the position you want them and then wait as they cool...presto chango! NMM can fly a straight trjectory again! If it doesn't look right after the first time, try again until it does. I've fixed all kinds of serious pony issues, such as dents and warpy legs with this method! Good luck!
