Hi guys,
Unfortunately for my Eversor, his needle thing on his executionner rifle got bended in his storage suitcase. Do you have any idea how to make it right again ?

Is it plastic or metal?
Plastic will need heating and metal just bend it back slowly

use a hair dryer to heat it up and bend slowly back in place.

Will it damage the paint ? Yes indeed it's plastic, he is from the Assassinorum: Execution Force boxed game.

I wouldn't go anywhere near a plastic mini with heat, especially if painted. Polystyrene 'kinda' bends with heat, but it seems to mostly either be as it is at room temp, or softening and becoming mush. Very little space in between.
That kind of detail will readily bend back into place without heat if you are slow. However, nothing you can do will stop the piece becoming weakened after bending. Also, if it has bent once it will likely bend again.Best practice would be to clip the piece off and replace it with a metal part, drilled into the plastic

I'd suggest replacing it with a new bit of plastic or metal.

So guys, I finally bended it back ! I used super hot water in a glass, then bend it back slowly together and finally put the part into cold water

Noted !
And to be honest, the needle got its bending back with time... I mean, it's better than it was but it definitely bended back. And it cost me the half the paint of the executioner pistol. Tsss
