  • Vintage Boglins are prone to attract all of the nasty dirt, fluff and gunk around, making them filthy. But after 30 years of building up muck and grime, what's the best way to clean a grotty Boglin?
    Products used:
    Flash Multi-Surface Ultra Power gel for cleaning
    Superglue for repairing rips/tears
    Citadel acrylic paints for touching up paintwork (you could mix in a little liquid latex to make it more flexible and less prone to cracking, but I didn't both)

      @@thetrapdooruniverse6425 I used Citadel and Revel acrylics (around the 13minute mark), but you have to keep them thin, or mix them with a little latex (or ideally use latex mask paints) to avoid them cracking when the rubber flexes.

    I've just picked up the same Boglin, he's not in too bad of a condition but he is a bit dirty and inside his mouth the paint has wore off and it's gone a bit tacky, like the lips stick togeather if you open and close his mouth, do you think I could still clean him or would it be too risky. It doesn't look as dirty as yours tbh

    i dont know , i watched you remove the clips that hold the arms an tail .with ease .the first 1 i bought the tail clip was loose and it was a real chore to pop it on . . the 2nd one i bought had the nody clipped to the box with the tail clip .i could not get it off . i used a fork as a pry bar and that was a fight .i tore a hole in the box trying to pop the clip .i thought i was going to rip the runner . i did get it off and popping it on wasnt easy but not the war of getting it apat . ami the only 1 that has to fight those clips ??? im never removing the tails lol . i want a few more but i hate those clips lol

    Hi. I've recently brought a boglin off e-bay which is in a similar (if not worse) state than the one in your video. I'm hoping to restore it and I'm going to use your video as a guide. Worryingly, my boglin is cream rather than green, so I'm not sure how clean it will come up. Also the tail is detached so I'll need to fix it. Do you mind if I contact you for help/advice should I need it?
