Hi guys,
I got some of the old plastic wraithlords yesterday, but one was roughed up in transit with a bent bright lance.
Is there a safe way to fix this?
Thank you.

Hi,
Some people soak plastics (and resins) for a minute or so in luke warm water (not hot!) which should ease the un-bending. Just remember not to force it back too hard. (oo-er!)

make sure you use plastic glue for this as it welds the pieces back together. If you use superglue the connection will become very brittle since it is such small surfaces you are glueing together.
Cheers!
