You know, a friend has a theory about how to smoosh the face of the plastic lions. I don't want to give him mine to test on, though.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Using any value of heated iron doesn't seem to work. Luckily, I bought spares the last time I was in Chicago.
edit: Walking a mile to and from Lincoln Park in the rain for the sole purpose of buying extra molderama lions indicates a certain unhealthy quality in my love for the show, doesn't it?

Yeah, the simple theories don't work so well. We tried without success and quit before doing serious damage.
I don't think it is particularly possible to smoosh the plastic lions without a great deal more infrastructure than I have available to me at home. Or possibly even here at work.

That's a daunting thought.
What sort of infrastructure? I feel like setting up a think tank to smoosh the lion. I bet Colin would totally dig that too. He's invited.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is the smooshed lion actually smooshed? Or is it just missing a bit of plastic? If it's the latter, you could just cut out a section with a hot Exacto knife.

But they're hollow.

Oh.
OK, someone who has an authentic smooshed lion needs to do a 3D laser scan before we can proceed further....

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I seem to recall hearing they actually had a special mold built to create the smushfacedness on the show.
If they're hollow, that makes things really difficult. Maybe very carefully and steadily carve your way into it with a soldering iron? Start in the middle and work your way out, then use said hot exacto knife to flatten the edges? I don't know. Definitely something you'd want to do where you had ventilation.

Someone with an actual smooshfaced lion just needs to give me one. It's very simple.
