'First Date'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
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.
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.
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....
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.
I love this thread.
Someone with an actual smooshfaced lion just needs to give me one. It's very simple.
I would take a wedge (like you use for splitting wood) and heat it up and then slowly press it into the silly little lion's face.
