    Didn't notice any change in the (tiny bit of) plastic.

    In the next day or two I'll try it with my G1 Powerglide and try and take some better shots.

    The stress mark is rather close to a rub sign though, so I will see how that goes.

    Your rub sign will be a permanent sign

    In the name of science, I've tested this out on three more figures. Check the 1st post for details

    Oh no that sucks, maybe your hair dryer is stronger than mine or something? Did the plastic curve after the dryer was off? That sounds weird!

    I don't want to rub salt in the wounds but would you mind posting some pics so we can see the damage, would be an effective warning for those looking at doing this to rare figures, or those with thin panels.

    Thanks for the tip, I have a Classics Hot Rod who has stress marks on him, will be nice to tidy him up.
