 King Bee Hunch I guess my first SB purchase should have been a 'real' SB. I just got in a new unopened Red King Bee from Mandarake (wow, they are fast!) and immediatley he is a shelf diver!!
To heat up the legs to reshape, is a hairdryer too intense? Hot water better? I don't the rest of him to melt.
Next step - get a Skull Bee (live and learn).

Blow dryer is great, just don't let it get too hot. Earthquake putty to the rescue. This stuff works great and it wont hurt the figure ! Check the net.

I've got the Yellow King Skull Bee and he has taken a few dives. It's a shame as I really do like the figure, but as of right now he is in my closet.

Have a bowl of cold water next to you when you heat up the legs. After you bend them to where you want them, you want to immediately shock them in the cold water to retain the new shape. Otherwise there is a good chance that they will just slowly go back to the original shape
