Fixing toy packaging?
 
i have an old rat trap from the beast wars toy line and the bubble is dented in...

anyone know or have any ideas on how to pop the bubble back out on the packaging?

will post pics if peeps want to see...

The only thing I can personally think of - besides the fact that a un-denting a bubble depends on a load of factors which are all significant to know beforehand - is this:

Try to warm up the bubble a bit since warm plastic is more flexible than cold or room temperature one and with some kind of air-sucking gadget carefully suck on the bubble and even more carefully try to pull it back out to then somehow try to fixate it in its cooler, room temperature state. I don't know what your beast wars bubble is like but those thoughts are based on the regular 80ies/90ies tmnt toy figure bubbles.

Looking at the pictures I'd say this is gonna be a tough job, maybe try first on some old bubbles you don't need anymore or similar.

I was thinking of just injecting it with air with a syringe!

hahahaa

That could also be one way to reach your goal, no doubt. Not with a syringe though and fixing possible other air leaks while maintaining a certain pressure is something I personally consider as difficult.
