I shaved the flash and mold lines off of Kari last weekend (finally!), and found that the way she is facing on the base affects how well she fits. It seems neither her figure base nor the scenic base are perfectly round. But rotating her to face a different way helped her fit in the base better.

Seriously, try the hot water, if it isn't already painted. It actually works.
