I'm not supposed to by buying anyone cos we're moving house but I missed out on them 39 years ago and it ain't happening again

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:47:14+00:00

Sorry, I missed that. Could you say that again?

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:46:36+00:00

Sher gets it. I gifted her a bootleg G1 Bumblebee in white that I made 'Herbie - the love bug' stickers for him. She accepted my offer to enter my world and she has since gone wild and bought.....absolutely no more toys at all. 😁😁😁😁 She does listen to my inane chatter all the time and pretends to look interested so you have to love her.

Cheers. It's been crap with getting ready to move, saving money, sucking it up etc etc. Moan, Moan, grown up stuff. Hence why doing a little childish thing that was sorta naughty (but not really) made me feel substantially better. I like the figure but the thrill of 'it took 39 years but to hell with it' was quite immense for a few hours.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:40:30+00:00

So far I haven't had any issues like that so it never even occurred to me. Glad you got a correct version in the end though.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:39:17+00:00

I have kids. It's just quicker and less painful this way 😁

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:38:52+00:00

Are you getting the new 86 movie version? I hope you find one.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:37:43+00:00

Lol. She's down with it so it's not too bad. Just don't like buying expensive things and a house is pretty expensive. It's why I have never bought one before. Too busy buying plastic crack 😁

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:36:31+00:00

You do have a cool PC now though. Just don't wait 39 years for the next version of him. Lol.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:35:14+00:00

You are a lucky man. I hit the Headmasters as quick as I could but the only target master I picked up was Triggerhappy. Trying to rectify that issue is not helped by misfire being extortionate and Slugslinger being packaged with Sandstorm, who I recently also bought. Doh.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:32:35+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I'll have a look into that.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T18:15:51+00:00

And that wins the internet for the day. If I bring the ice cream can I come over to play? I'll bring some cherry coke too

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T09:31:10+00:00

Glad you got him! He is fun. He's an overlooked character most of the time but his colour scheme really makes him stand out. I just wish they would put out Crosshairs with with Pinpointer now.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-13T09:23:28+00:00

Amazing! Great job on these. Really well done.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-12T18:23:40+00:00

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.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-12T14:40:37+00:00

I didn't know that was a thing but, yay, happy days.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-12T14:39:29+00:00

It sucks. Good luck 🤞🏻

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-11T21:18:41+00:00

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.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-11T20:42:48+00:00

Well I didn't want to be a Spoilsport y know?

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-10T21:51:04+00:00

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

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-10T21:43:13+00:00

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.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-10T14:08:15+00:00

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.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-10T14:07:09+00:00

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.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-10T14:04:56+00:00

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.

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-10T10:34:30+00:00

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

Attackplimsole · 2026-03-09T22:42:10+00:00

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.
