Animal's Sticky Eyes?

[Stiggomar]

Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me. The eye brows on my animal figure will not move. I have tried putting him in the freezer and that didn't help. Does anyone have a fix?

mine were stuck at first too, but I just put constant, steady pressure on the black part and eventually they closed...

I've heard that if cold doesn't work, heat might, but I don' know how it'd work for that joint...

hey -

i tried freezing him and the rest and nothing worked. i eventually just pried the eyelid opened with an exacto knife.

if you do this, be extremely careful of your hands and fingers and also expect to nick the heck out of your animal figure.

I used a butter knife. Less knicking and less chance of cutting yourself.

I boiled some water, dipped Animal's head in for about 30 seconds, then tried to move the eye brows. It worked! On the now opened brows you can see the source of the problem; a tiny amount of glue or paint was holding them open.

Thanks for the help everyone.

congratulations! Glad to hear that you've solved the problem..
