Always loosen up hands for the weapon by dipping for a few seconds in really hot water. Not boiling but not bath water either. Maybe like a five minute old tea sort of hot. The heat will loosen the plastic up and make it more malleable. When it cools, it WILL snap back into original position.

The same can be done to joints, and heads. Simply heat, dip, hold and remove. This will greatly aid in the ease of removal and minimize the risk to the figure. In fact, the technique is called BOIL AND POP. The clue is in the name.

Plenty of reference and cross reference material and links galore. Welcome to the exciting world of collecting 1/18th scale action figures! Commonly referred as 4" by those that don't focus on it, and referenced as 3.75" by those that do.

Have fun, and my best advice is army build those gorgons and get a lot of warriors to fight them. If one looks good to you, imagine and entire shelf display!!! Keep us posted, and you can ALWAYS stop the the ToyArk thread Marvel 3.75" compatibility and share some pics and ask some questions...... welcome.
