Well proceed with caution: I tried this procedure on a black one last week and was not so lucky. The figure got overheated and cracked, the eyes sizzled and melted a bit, and there was a terrible smell in my house for a couple of days. There is an issue with the thermostat in my oven apparently, so I did not follow the instructions to the letter, but I was keeping a pretty good eye on things, yet it overheated very quickly... I still have quite a few Coco Joes figures with this condition. Perhaps a microwave oven set low might be work, has anybody tried that? Another option would be to display them on a high shelf lit from below, so that they appear to gaze down upon you rather like a gargoyle or a perching vulture... Hope this helps, Chuck
