I’m considering buying a G1 pony with a crooked leg. Is that usually fixable with boiling water and then “setting” the leg right? Or will it eventually go back to the way it was?

Hey Tuney :)
Yep, you can fix it. Make sure you boil it long enough to get very pliable. I've done this a few times and it's always stayed after being fixed.

Hi! Haven't seen you in forever, good to see you! Plastic likes to go back to its original shape, so like BC says, it's totally fixable! :frolic:
One thing that can happen when boiling ponies, just so you're prepared, is you can get a vacuum effect inside of the pony, and it'll get sort of flat. that's fixed by just popping the head off. :)

Thank you both! It’s for a Crumpet pose pony which
have that notorious crooked back leg.
It’s been so long since I collected or worked on ponies…everything is coming back slowly 😅
