If you've looked at enough miniatures, I'm sure you've seen some with bent swords or spears in unopened packages. I came across a bent sword on one of the Kobolds I bought. The store only had 2 packages remaining, so I bought both of them to prevent making a separate visit in the hopes that another Kobold package would be in stock. One spear was slightly bent but a small clamp left on the miniature for 2 days straightened it out and it has remained in good condition. I didn't want to spend that much time fixing any bent miniatures I ran across, so I did a little research and stumbled upon an extremely easy fix.
Here's what the sword looked like.
After visiting a few forums, I found the easiest fix possible. All you do is get some really hot water and dip the miniature in the water for around 30 seconds. The miniature will become flexible at this point. Hold the miniature in its' new position under running cold water for about 30 seconds and it's fixed. Here are my results below. The picture isn't perfectly clear overall, but you can tell the sword is in great shape now.
