I just got a Buck and Tiger- what can I say but freakin WOW!! I didn't expect the level of detail and quality !! These two figures are off the charts!!

Buck and Tigerman are pretty awesome, aren't they? Tigerman's boots are a little disappointing, but that's really my only issue with either figure. If anyone knows any tips, tricks or maybe just a simple fix for how to get Tigerman to actually stand up in those boots, please let me know.

Unfortunately this issue with the boots happened because the factory wasn't paying attention to my notes. The soles should have been cast in hard plastic but as you can see that didn't happen.Originally Posted by will5967
Try bending the soles downward and then apply heat with a hair dryer. Hold them in that position until they cool down and it might fix the problem. I know this method has worked before so it's worth a shot.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! That is EXACTLY the kind of helpful comment I was looking for. It's so easy for folks on slap dash comment and run talk boards to get bent out of shape and think they're firing a shot off the port bough right back at ya - when someone is simply making a statement or asking an innocent question. Either way, that sounds like a FABULOUS fix to try and I sincerely appreciate the info. I haven't done a review of the Buck and Tigerman figures I'm way behind in getting to for my site, but when I do, I will definitely put that info up, if I may. And thanks again for the true professionalism, Craig. It speaks very, very well of you. Heck, the quality of the figures themselves pretty much does that, but it's nice to know why that small problem didn't quite make it through the manufacturing stage. Noted and very, very much appreciated.

You're more than welcome and I hope I was able to offer a solution.
If the line gets picked up by this other company I'll be sure to tell them not to let the same mistake happen with the Draconian Guard's boots.
Oh! Don't even tempt me! Don't REMIND me! That unproduced Draconian Guard dances in my Christmas dreams like... like... the old man's beloved Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story!

Damn, I was hoping for a Twiki. Wish Hawk was made before Tiger Man. Oh well.
Too obsessed to turn back
I smell Hawk making a come back. Call me crazy...
It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.
