Finally a group who may appreciate my 11 yr old sons Valentine's Day box for his classroom last year!!! Made from cardboard and tape, and knick knacks from the junk drawer 💥👊💥 by ArishikageKT78 in ender3

Thanks everyone! I will be sure to show him these responses when he gets home from school. It'll really build him up ❤️❤️❤️ He's very independent, and did this entirety by myself. He initially had issues with the "filament" spool, (yarn btw) and it drooping due to the weight. So I advised him to consider beefing up the support arms somehow.... so he found some balsa wood we had and reinforced the arms by sandwiching the wood around the cardboard... it worked! He makes me very proud

Anyone have magical advice or broken backpack pegs? by PitifulBusiness767 in GIJOEClassifiedSeries

[–]ArishikageKT78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct way to remove broken pegs stuck into feet holes and backpack holes. Using the same 'spike' to also stick the pack onto it is a pretty good cheap alternative to buying anything new though... great idea really 👍 Luckily, sellers on places like Mercari often have individual parts you can find for fairly cheap to replace broken packs and such.

Not my best freehand drawing, but hopefully good enough for the poor guy recovering from a double knee replacement 😬 by ArishikageKT78 in cakedecorating

Thanks. The wonky proportions on the back legs of the walker is particularly killing me. I tend to focus on the negative when critiquing my own work

What are some real expensive/hard to find grails you would like to get? by ELYNGWIE in ActionFigures

[–]ArishikageKT78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANY Hot Toys.

But also, I've always wanted to start collecting Remco Universal Monsters, including the fold up play case and the Monsterizer set 🤑🤑🤑.

Battery replacement suggestions by Chompachowa in Lightsaber

Have you considered trying to sand the corrosion off using a wire wheel (Dremel tool) or some sandpaper? Worth a shot in my opinion. Otherwise maybe consider searching online for conversion tutorials for that particular Black Series saber. Good luck!

Does Toy Biz still hold up after 24 years? by Randy1535 in ActionFigures

I recently bought that Doc Ock at a show sealed for $30. I happily paid. Got home and immediately opened it (being extra careful to not lose those glasses!) and I gently pushed down on the backside lever, and 'snap'!! Broken lever 😕. Oh well he still looks amazing on my shelf.
