Customizing Tips and Tricks / Boiling & Freezing figures

This may belong in another section, but, since it applies to a 30AC figure, I put it here. I just opened my Tosche Station Biggs and I'm not sure what the deal is but his toes are pointed almost straight up. I left him sitting in my car for a day, in the Texas heat, so that may be the cause of his deformity. But, the other figures I bought that same day, and also sat in the car, came out of the package fine. Anyway, I was thinking about boiling the figure to soften the plastic, resetting the feet, and then dunking him in ice water to harden the plastic. Has anybody else done this? Is there anything I need to watch out for while doing this? I'm just planning on submerging his lower legs in the boiling water -- about how long would I need to hold him there? Any advice would be appreciated.
