How long should she be in the water?

@TheCastellan About 5-10 seconds, and then let it cool for another 5 seconds before touching it. Otherwise, you'll risk pressing on semi-melted plastic and alter the shape.

I tried fixing her stiff shoulders after clicking her feet 3 times. Than rockets appeared and she flew away... weird figma...

@Misakichifan It works fine now, but I had to use oil too. And it took quite a bit of pressure to suddenly get it moving. And the hot water does increase the chances of scratches(I think) so watch out!

Hi, I tried this out, but it didn't work. Any other ideas?
