Incredible Fugitoid discovery!!

I just discovered the coolest thing!!

While sifting through a box of broken TMNT looking for idea's for customs, I found my broken childhood fugitoid figure. On inspection, I noticed that the figures limbs were made of transparent plastic with gold paint just painted on them. So I got the idea, remove the paint and make a seim transparent fugitoid custom. So I pryed in half the figure, collected all the limbs and went to the sink to scrub as much paint off as possible. After about 10 minutes with little result, I decided to use boiling water as the paint used seemed to be the type that can be boiled off. After placing the limbs in the water and finding out my theory didn't work, I took them out and noticed the coolest thing. The limbs were all rubbery and could be bent in any manner possible. Quickly I decided to bend an arm into the position i wanted and poured cold water onto it. It hardened and the pose stuck. Now I can pose my fugitoid in any manner I want. I'm thinking of closing his two outer fingers so to give him the ability of giving shredder the finger. Now that'd be a sweeet custom.
