Before vs After























I did say "ever so slightly"
In case you can't really see the changes though:

  • Straighter tail
  • Leaning forward a little more
  • Head raised higher and made to face a little more forward
  • Crest bent forward a little more

To be honest I just caught the tail new position  :-[ :)) but only with that it looks much more natural, I prefer it like yours.

How did you do that?

Boiling water  (but a heat gun does the job much better. If I get my hands on one I might alter the pose further)

Expect it to revert to the original position then, that method doesn't work permanently on PVC figures. The result is pretty cool though. It also seems to have a better balance positioned like this.

I've used it on other models before and they haven't reverted back yet, I think I did about 4 last year and only one (Papo Baryonyx) reverted back. So I'm kinda confident it'll stay put.
