I just purchased my first white metal figures and I have a question.
Some of the pieces, such as the weapons, are slightly bent. Will it hurt anything to just straighten them out as they are or do you need to do something such as heat them slightly before bending them back into shape?
As this is a new medium for me I don't want to do anything that will damage the pieces or destroy any detail.
Thank you.

depending on how bent they are, you should be able to bend it back using your fingers.. hot water would be the best thing to bend it back next to that.

Thanks Matt,
They are not bent too bad. I figured I could just bend them back with my fingers but I wanted to ask first. The way my week is going I didn't trust myself not to break them!!
Thanks again,
