I have occasionally considered attempting Smush on the one Matt gave me, but it's so perfect that I don't want to gild the lily and/or break it.
But, it may be possible to heat the lion in water, then do the smushing. Seriously, if you look to the model horse remaking communities for advice, it's probably fairly doable. (Mind, those are only hollow in the middle, but still. Much can be done.)
see above, ita, and contain your linkage.
It's in my clipboard, and there it shall stay.
I've been so good recently, haven't I?

Okay, I need to lend Colin my DVDs and point him to those forums.

Please don't root the lion.

Dude, not THAT kind of plastic horse.
The serious Breyer ones, which generally get remade to make them look even MORE realistic.
I have a smooshed face lion, but he's one from the press kits and therefore not really wax. he's still adorable.

Yep, you'd have to evenly heat the whole thin layer of plastic to be able to do any safe-smooshing, as the hot wedge approach leads to cracked plastic and melted edges.
And I dunno how well the molded plastic holds up to resoftening and remolding.
