I have attempted this twice now and used a wok in the oven at 300 degrees. My first one came out OK’ish. The men were a bit too melted but were much better than my second one which really melted and broke apart when I tried to release them. I also had much more toxic smelling smoke the second time around. I’ve just purchased another 3 bags of the little men but also purchased some 4″ tall green guys and plan to make 2 versions this weekend. I’m definitely going to watch them this time around and pull them the moment they are done. I’ll post again to let you know the brand of army men, heating time/temp and results with both sizes of the plastic guys.

I did this last Christmas as presents using the oven method. I lined a circular pizza tray with grease proof paper and once melted enough i pressed them between two salad bowls. The outcome varies as there is limited control over the strength of the bowl due to the positioning of the figures. Great fun though, I shall be melting more toys this christmas too!
