I just got a ton of Reaper plastics and some of them are misshapen. The plastic is very soft so how would I bend them back so that they stay?

Put them in very hot water for about 15-25 seconds, bend them where you want them, then hold them in position in ice water. Repeat until you get them where you want them.

Easy fixes DK. As Brad said above me, bring a pot of water to boil, on the counter next to it have a bowl full of ice water. Use a kitchen strainer to dunk the Bones minis into the water for 10-15 seconds, fully submerged. They will return to their original casting shape. Lift strainer out of water with the minis and dump the minis into the ice water. Voila! done. You will also notice that the will not be as soft as they were prior to this. This also works if you are wanting to change the poses on them as well. Instead of dumping them into the ice water immediately, take and hold them into the desired shape and dunk them into the ice water whle holding them in position. As AJ says, be sure to wear protective gloves so you don't scald/burn yourself with the hot water... Bonus: Woot! post #500

I wouldn't do anything...I would just say that the bendy weapons could stab around corners.
