I purchased this mask for my sith cosplay. When I got it in the mail it was bent out of shape. Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or ideas as to how to get it bent back into shape?

What is it made out of? It looks flexible.

You could try warming it carefully with a hairdryer, shaping it and letting it cool in the correct shape.

If you type that into eBay, its the mask for 69.90. Its a vendor out of Singapore.

Its made out of urethane. I was thinking of trying to make a particle board cut of the shape of the back of the mask. Using heat to make it pliable and sticking it in there after heating it up and letting it sit for a while.

I've been suggested using a heat gun and a lot of time sitting there bending.

I'm not trying to bash the eBay seller by posting this. So please don't take it that way, they have a decent rating. But buyer beware. Look at my mask before purchasing.

If you have something round or in the shape you need for it, warm it lightly, most likely with a hairdryer like Takamatsu said and maybe try pressing it into the correct shape
