Mostly back of head and face I suppose but a little of both. Don’t worry you’ll see results. As soon as the head is warm you can mush it however you want.
I guess I should also say don’t make it too hot or you could possibly hurt the paint.
The stands for the 6" figures are from McFarlane Toys.
Wow! That looks a lot closer to the original pics! (Now if I can find where my wife puts her hair dryer I’ll be in business. - well, that and actually receiving Pete in the mail).
Just to clarify a little further I only had to heat the head for about 10-15 seconds and it went from rock solid to soft and pliable. As long as you don’t try cooking him you’ll be ok.
Also as someone pointed out on the Matty forum, warm water would have the same effect, I just didn’t want to get his clothes and pack wet nor did I wish to undress him.
Hey, Venkmans pant are longer than what they showed in the sale image on Matty. Looks a lot better than the high waters he had shown. Plus good work on the face bend. Looks much better and closer to what the sale image gave to us. Good work
it does look much better after being squished, but I still say mattel should’ve put photos of the **actual **product on their website and not used a photo of the 12" Venkman with the prototype head as seen at the cons - then again Im a bitcher and a moaner.
Well from what I’m hearing this didn’t happen with every figure that shipped, but so far it seems like it might be the majority of them Again they are still selling the same product, it looked correct before it was packaged. I’m pretty sure the packagin happens offsite as well (maybe I’m wrong about that). Just what is Digital River’s role in all this?
hey Vin, can you confirm it was the packaging that squished his head? In the one photo it looks like the vacuum formed clear plastic the head sits in was made too small, crushing the head when it was inserted ( thats what she said)
Yes I believe 100% that before they were packaged they looked fine. If you put the Venkman figure side by side with the other 2 he has the widest head by far. Now I know they didn’t use the exact same packaging since the poses are different but I bet they used the same “dimensions” to create the clear plastic that holds him.
