Hi all. New here.

I know it’s been covered before but I couldn’t find the original thread.

I just ordered the [12 inch](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel/12-inch) venkman and saw the concerns about the packaging distorting his head. My question is this: since it’s been about 5 years since this figure was made do any of you think I may have any problems fixing this if mine has this issue? In other words, being in the package making the problem more permanent?

You shouldn’t have any problems, just might take a bit longer to undo. I’d try Hot Water instead of the Blow Dryer, but that’s just me.

Here is the origional thread:

Yer welcome!
