I got a Batgirl figure from Amazon today, and when posing her I found that her right elbow was on backwards, what's the best way to fix this. Pic related, it's the figure

How? she doesn't have a bicep swivel, all she has is cuff rotation that doesn't help, they put her forearm upside down. Do you know how to fix it without ruining it?

>heat up, pop out
>heat up, pop in
don't fix
it's cooler, maybe unique?

Put her arm in boiling water, submerge it for 30~ seconds until the plastic turns soft.
The joint looks chunky enough to pop off once it's softened up, then you can flip it over and pop it back on the right way.
Make it look like another figure is breaking her elbow.

She cant bend her elbow more than a few millimetres it looks horrible to me at least

Will this ruin the paint at all?
>>5214588

If you're worried about the water, just use a blowdryer to heat the joint. Anyway, it's an incredibly easy joint to fix.
Heat - Pop out peg - turn to correct position - heat again - pop in peg - Done.

No, it's pretty much standard practice if you collect Neca figures unless you want them to break immediately after taking them out of the packaging.
