I'm new here so I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this. I have this minty and sugar berry, and their legs seem to be a bit mis shaped. They have difficulty standing and are very easily knocked over. Is there any thing I can do to fix this? I would prefer not to use water on them but if it can't be helped yknow

Sorry if you can't tell by the pictures I couldn't get a good angle on them. Also I'm still learning how to make posts and stuff so I hope I uploaded the pictures correctly.
 
You can fill them with hot water and put an object between them to return them to the original position.

Thank you
How long should I leave them like that? Just till the water cools?

As long as needed. Some ponies need more time than others. I keep the object at least a week (usually couple wrapped/shaped tissue paper) :p cos sometimes I have kept it like a day and them when I take it off and "tadah" next day my ponies fall from the shelf :O.. they legs turned same way :/ So better keep them sometime to be sure they will be corrected.
 
Minty will fall over forever no matter what you do because she was made top heavy and her legs were not long enough.

I have tried a lot of methods. What works best for me is a stiff Styrofoam block that puts the legs in position. I keep them on the shelf with their block in between the legs to straighten them out and I never really remove it. I have tried all sorts of techniques but the body always reverts back even after a year or two of being set. So, some ponies are stubborn and just need a walker.

Minty needs a block in between the front and back legs.
Sugarberry needs a block between both back legs until the left back leg is straight (the left if you are facing her nose). She also needs a block between her left front leg and the left back leg on the left side if you are facing her nose. If you need an example of what I mean I will try to find my walker girls and show you a photo.

Thank you. I think a photo would be helpful. They do alright standing on shelves but I was displaying them on my coffee table just because it's where I spend most of my time and I like to look at them. As you can imagine coffee tables get bumped around quite a bit at least in my house. So they fell over a lot. It's not a big issue for me to display them somewhere else but here's my real concern will they get worse over time to the point where they can't stand on their own if I don't do anything to help them out? I have no problems putting blocks in between their legs but if they can stand on their own should I still do it anyways?
 
OK I will work on this tomorrow for you. USA time. Yes, I would correct it because over time the plastic will harden and it could get worse.
 
Good information; probably gonna use this for some of my wobblier ponies.
 
I usually prop their legs right with whatever I can find, pens, toothbrushes, sticks, blocks, whatever works... and then sic em with my hairdryer! Once they're nice squishy and hot I stop, then leave them alone until they cool completely in the correct shape. Then I find something suitable to sit between the legs on display and up they go on display.
