Depends on the figure, if your figure has any paint chips or wear then it may take more off. I've done it for a few MU and ML and worked fine, the key is not going overkill with temps and time. Meaning for the water temperture either run hot water until the point you see steam then use that, or boil a kettle and the second you hear the whistle go off, stop then pour carefully small amount at a time coating the area and figure. if the figure is light like a mu or MS as some of them are hollow casts, you may need to hold the figure down further into the water use a salade tonge or wooden spoon, something soft with a long handle to avoid burning your fingers or damaging paint. Once suberged keep you eye on the time and give him 5-10 mins max. I give roughly 1 minute for 1 inch of surface space. Once he's out, quick dry then do what you need to do, once the figure is back to good, place him gently in the freezer as desired. this effect with harden the soft plastic back to it's normal feel and keep the joint tight. I must admit was funny when my girlfirend asked why Ironman was doing in the freezer next to the rum, then she said never mind it makes sence, lol.
