Hello everyone, first time poster here, after hearing the rpf forums on tested podcasts so often I figured that this would be a good place to ask for help.
I just got the NECA portal gun replica (had to pay a bit more to an ebay seller so it would ship to canada) and eagerly waited 14 days, however when it got here there is one thing that is bugging me big time and took the wind out of my sails.
The middle arm is bend to one side. It's no actual visible bend in the plastic, it's just crooked for some reason, and I can't figure out why. I need to fiddle with it more but I am hoping some of you can offer some advice as to how I would fix it. As far as I know this ebay seller only had two (and both are gone) and I wouldn't want to wait another month to have to ship it back and have them ship another.
Here are some pictures, I'm hoping some of you can help. I was thinking maybe hot water would work to bend it? It's made out of multiple parts that seem to be glued together though, so I don't know. The whole arm seems to be off kilter, and I don't know how I would fix it.
