superman head fix

Yeah, really. Why bother posting this at all...so we can all see how great you are Lonnie?

Very immature. That's probably why you got four messed up figures...mine were all perfect.

K-A-R-M-A is a *****...LOL.

Wow... I guess I won't post anymore. Sorry I'm so immature to not tell everybody what I do.

I won't go as far as call you immature, but why not just explain what you've done? Is it really that much of a secret?

[EMCE Hammer]

Yeah Lonnie, I thought you were just kidding. Did you train your ferret to nibble in just the right spots, or what? If the hair bothered me that much I'd hit it with a dremel and then touch it up. Shhhhhhhh.......don't tell anyone.

[Remco Monster]

That looks great Lonnie!

Superman Head Fix

Wow... I guess I won't post anymore. Sorry I'm so immature to not tell everybody what I do.

I think you're missing the point and spirit behind the MM. The question is: Why WOULDN'T you want to inform your fellow Mego collectors how they can "fix" Superman's head? Many people share their tips and techniques, especially for customizing, on this site. I don't know where I would have got started if it wasn't for the wealth of knowledge in the Custo Mego section that members were willing to share. Do you want to be the only one with a Superman that looks that great? I think that's the attitude that myself and others here may be puzzled with.

But, to each his own I guess.

Abracadabra, Alakazam, Hocus Pocus, and Sim Sala Bim! Then Presto Chango!

I can see this thread was clearly a waste of server space.
Thanks for nothing.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Strip down your Superman and dip him head first into the water. Hold him in there for 30 seconds or so. Turn on your sink and let cold water start running. Pull Supes from the pot and squeeze the sides of his head, being careful not to burn yourself, maybe use a paper towel as a buffer. While keeping his head squeezed, move him under the running cold water. Hold him there for a minute or so. Pull him out and give him a quick squeeze from nose to the back of the head to regain his shape. Let him dry and come back to room temp and the head will be more round on top.

Such an amazing trick, you can understand why someone would want to keep it to themselves. Its almost a meal ticket. OK, I know it doesn't seem very impressive, but try mastering it inside your car. Then and only then will you acquire the title of custom god.

^^^ Too funny!
But wouldn't it return back to it's regular shape after a while because of the plastic memory? Most things do and are only temporary.

I guess Lonnie removed it after those bad comments, which he could've avoided if he had just explained to everyone what he did exactly to fix the head
