Help with T Rex tail

[TanukiNeiri]

Does anyone know how I can fix the bend in the middle of my T Rex's tail? I got most of it out. It's not that bad, just annoying. Pic isn't that great but it's the best I can do for the moment.

You did more than I ever could. You should count yourself lucky, the battery case in mine was ****ed right out of the box so the sounds never worked right. Man, that thing was still my favorite toy though.

Don't think I ever got that bend out. Mines in storage anyhow since I have no room. Was one of my fav toys as a kid hehe

You can try a hair dryer... I remember having two of them and playing outside during the summer...eventually the heat from being outside removed the warping. I loved this Rex... it was actually based on the novel desc. instead of the movie...;)

i put a ruler in mines tail. but mine was the repainted version for the second movie. but im sure its still the same.

I still have my T-rex, n I'm pretty sure his tail is still bent. All because the way they packed it. Cept I repainted mine, to look more movie-esque. Kinda wish I didn't he's all sticky now.

I have two of the "Bull T-Rex" Dinos and both their tails are bent. Though it is the actual tail bone part inside as well as the exterior.

I never even could get the bend out to the point you have it now!
It was however still one of my favourite toys ever, too bad I was a ****** as a kid and had to sell off all my JP stuff....

I tried the hairdryer & it worked! The bend is almost completely gone. :)

Heh, because of this thread, I actually dug mine up, continued finishing the paint job. I left him out in the cold over night, he's not sticky anymore. :D

That was the best toy ever when I was a kid, and yes, mine's tail was terribly bent too, but that did nothing to stop it being awesome beyond comparison. I still hold a bit of a grudge against my mom for pawning it off at a garage sale god knows how many years ago :(

Yea, I know, it came out blurry, but, all I have is a cellphone cam. Also I'm still doing the stripes n such down the back.
