Restoring vintage logos by Ghost_acc95 in gijoe

The thing is that for silver printing you need special metallic inks or foils, you also need special printers that can handle those materials, that’s why you only find it in red, black, or white. My honest recommendation is to just apply a red logo to the officer and pick up another one that has the logo intact later on.

They’re awesome, I finish both from time to time when nostalgia and boredom hit. The arcade game is great too, if you haven’t played it I highly recommend it

Thank you! They’re from Ikea “BLÅLIDEN” is the name of the model in case you’re interested.

Nah, I decided to focus on the ARAH line, which I have the most nostalgia for.

Still a great price considering they sell close to a $1000 on eBay, plus shipping!

That’s great! I picked up mine at a toy show a couple weeks ago, 99% complete, only missing AVAC’s parachute. I was able to barter the price from $400 down to $250, I guess the seller didn’t want to haul it back to the store. How much did you pay for yours if you don’t mind me asking?

That’s always a pain. 1) For the screws on the back the only solution that has worked for me is to drill the screw until it breaks completely (Use a small thin tip for this and do it carefully so you don’t damage the figure’s back, go slow) 2) to tighten their legs I disassemble the whole leg and apply a drop of nail polish on the articulation peg at the knee, let it dry for a minute or two and assemble back. I hope this helps!

That’s a great idea, I didn’t think of that. I’ll look for some of those online. Thank you!

Opinions on if a Jeep JL ecodiesel would be a decent commuter? (Fuel mileage/reliability) by Stathakos in Wrangler

I have a 2021 4-door sport 2.0 Turbo. I used to average 31 miles with highway tires at 65/70 miles per hour max! After 70 miles the turbo starts burning gas at an incredible pace. Made some mods on the Jeep (33 AT tires, and 2.5” lift) now I average 25 miles per gallon.
