The Energon Pub

[truegrit]

Hope someone can help me out here. I have a Generations Orion Pax (the one based on Kup) that I'd like to sell, but after I got it out of storage, I realized that the head flap isn't budging at all, nor is the torso disconnecting. Obviously, I'd like it to transform without breaking the thing. Anyone have tips for this kind of situation? I know you can loosen the joints of action figures by running them under hot water and loosening the plastic, but would that backfire here? (I'm imagining that the metal pins and screws might just end up expanding)
