Tip: Removing dents from G4s

[moonflower]

I mentioned this on another thread but people seemed to be a bit dubious, so now I have photographs to show you that it works. 

Lots of people have been complaining about the dents on the G4s caused by the packaging (and quite rightly so, it is not acceptable to have dented ponies straight out of the box!) so I thought I would share how I get rid of the dents in mine.

If you  - carefully! - pour some just boiled water over the dents they should disappear (or at least improve). The larger the dent the longer you will have to run the water over, but you can notice the difference straight away and it takes next to nothing to do.

Ok, so the dents on this subject were not too bad, but I if I ever debox any more ponies and get a better example I will take more pics. Obviously, you can show us your results too!

Note: I have not noticed any adverse effects in using the hot water but use this method at your own risk!

The before and after shots are great! Boiling water is great for that, and squished bodies.

I'm glad it works! Thanks for clarifying this method.

Awesome!
I haven't come across any ponies with dents yet, but now I know how to remedy the dents if I do.
Thanks for posting this, moonflower!

So good to see this works!

I'm guessing this will only work on the bodies and not heads. I have a few ponies that came with tiaras which left dents, no fixing that This method is great though, thanks

[Shenanigans]

That's good to know, thanks!

Awesome! Thank you! I just got my Nightmare Moon collector set yesterday and ALL of the ponies had those dents in the chest/neck area. I'm glad there is a fix for it!

Awesome tip!

Thanks! Worked perfectly the nightmare moon favorite's girls that all had dents. I would've been so bummed out if this hadn't worked!

>.< Ah yes I was going to do this but my camera died (rip camera). Yes It does help It helps even more if you repeat it a couple times.

Yep, works on heads as well!
