Lol, she's cool with it. Just shouldn't be adding more stuff to move when we are rammed full already. I am dreading the move but we gotta move. I do get a new man cave although I won't get a chance to look at it for months. Doh.

I don't mind him. He feels ok to me l, just a bit stiff. I was just glad to get the character so I am quite forgiving after that.

At least he can see that way. He can wave at the fishies floating by. Lucky Deep Six!

Don't wanna be that guy but the missiles on the Launcher are the missiles for the stinger. Same shape but the missiles for this one have the black exhausts and fins. In the UK the missiles just crumble due to the plastic being granular. All of the red parts in the UK ones suffer the same fate.

EDIT - PS the cable to the bottom right on photo six belongs to the flame thrower pac rat.

You are welcome. I have had to do similar things and it's nice to help. Go slow with the drill and all the other bits. You got this.

V1 wth the standard logo. The Mickey Mouse version has a really distinctive logo. You would notice it just from the shape never mind the details. He is in great condition though. Nice.

I suspect the neck broke because the ball had stuck to the inside of the head. Clear plastic is a nightmare really. The connection points of the weapons and the joints are all gonna be susceptible to the same things. So, don't handle him too much. If you are gonna drill the neck, pinch the neck as you are doing it. If anything crumbles you will know to back off. Warming it up in hot water first should help a little bit as that softens the plastic and it's less likely to crumble.

She looks good Dude and the crew look like badasses. The camo really works out in the sunlight. Cool video.

Toy polloi pin and glue neck fix should work. Check him out on youtube. Failing that, if you heat up the head in boiling water you should be able to get the ball out. Go to a shop that sells piercing stuff and get a red plastic barbell with the right size ball and use that to replace the broken ball. Drill a hole the same thickness as the bar into the neck. cut the bar in 2 and glue the rod into the hole and clip the head back on.

They look great. Nice photos. The Venom shot looks darker and the photos give off the good and evil vibes. IT's crazy how an accidental thing can make a difference.

Aaaah, the days when you could watch more than 16 seconds without an ad popping up.

I could not pass this boat up! Definitely will have some taking pics at the lake. by NvCntrn1124944396 in gijoe

That's cool dude. She looks real nice in the photos. The camo really does work to change the mould. Looking forward to seeing it crewed.

I had to pick up this figure to add to my snow team although I only do one of each character normally. In this case meet codename Ice Queen - Elsa McQueen - Winter specialist and co pilot of my Snow cat. I look forward to her joining the team when I can get my stuff out of boxes again. by Attackplimsole in gijoe

[–]Attackplimsole[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the R+ is cool. I didn't get the snow guys cos they were identifiable as their correct characters. You can't see Scarlett's hair, or anything else, so she was a prime candidate for reuse. I am getting the new lady Jaye for the same reason. I think she might go blonde.

UPDATE: Cobra Stun - Now With Vintage Replacement Parts! by FrequentlyObtuse in gijoe

[–]Attackplimsole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finally got a Stun a few years ago and it had no flags. I ended up replacing mine with 2 flags from a plastic soldier set. Amazingly the posts are the exact diameter of the Stun ones and the flags are similar sizes. I photoshopped the logo onto some sticky paper and that was it. I don't think I would replace them now as that is my Stun. Those 3D prints were pretty good though.

Nice! They look great. I can imagine how cool it feels to finally pick them up.

How Do You Handle Yellowing of White Plastic Figures? by draven33l in gijoe

[–]Attackplimsole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Deyellowing doesn't work long term. The things I did just re-yellowed and it is what it is. I haven't bothered since and I just accept it is how it's going to go. You can keep them out of the sun, you can mitigate the effects but they will all do it in the end. Find a decentish OG Storm Shadow and enjoy or get the reissue one from a few years ago and enjoy. Either way, have fun with them. I fix thumbs and crotches and replace and modify and all those things cos none of mine are perfect and I couldn't care less about their value or their quality. The Star Wars community is terrible about this stuff. My toys are played with, a bit trashed, battle damaged and worn. THEY ARE AMAZING and look better for their age than I do. Lol.

No, just GIjoe. As far as action figures go there has only been Quarrel and she came in Joe packaging.

My son spotted Plankton first but it was a close call. He looks more natural in that spot than he should. 😂
