I dip the part in somewhat hot water (not boiling) then form it and then plunge the part in ice cold water.

A heat gun also works for some plastics.

But I haven't had much success using either tactic for Shodo figures. I think sometimes the part is just too thin and you definitely don't want to keep trying it else it will just weaken the part.

I've thought about this a lot. How much are you actually willing to pay? Because while candy toy figures are really nice for the price-point, I think they are cutting profits pretty close and fully painting them would put their cost close enough to a full fledged figure, or definitely out of impulse territory.

But hey I actually think it might happen. The Minipla line started out very barebones and now they are some of the best representations of their figures available anywhere --- but this definitely comes at a cost; the rebranded Shokugan Modeling Project "candy toys" are nearly $100 for each kit.

SO-DO figures have been improving a lot every year in paint apps and articulation and I could see the SO-DO Chronicle line doing more to cover the backs. In fact, SO-DO Gaim was surprisingly covered. My dream upgrade would actually be compound eyes, but that would definitely never happen.
