Since we have Ratchet's repair bay, I thought perhaps a thread for fixing other toys would be good too.

I'll start off.

My Classic Raph has a slightly wonky lower leg

See how his right looks like he's had rickets? A little bit of Bow leg for you sir?
Any suggestions on how to straighten it a bit? My first thought would be a bit of hot water and manual pressure to get his leg back in shape. Whaddya think?

Hot water would be the safest way to go to start with, Not to sure what else that won't damage the figure unless you are willing to try the old hair dryer heating method.

Hot water, hair dryer, heater.... I've even used a lighter when nothing else is at hand. I find the trick is to warm it up til it's quite soft and malleable, hold it slightly the other side of straight from the original curve, then stick it under some cold water while holding it to set it.
