    Guessing you were the only bidder on this figure. Great video as always.

    Your solutions for fixing these sure are elegant "treasury tags", can't say I've ever used one heh.

    Wow, that previous owner's repair job was straight up medieval. Been pursuing a Chewbacca of late to compliment my recent Han Solo 12" purchase. You can actually find some bargains if you go after the Chewies w/the arms having fallen off, and a repair job is inevitable anyway. Thanks for the vid!!

      +Tony Williams It was a brutal fix. But probably worked. I always look for the broken toys. They are normally cheaper and can pretty much always be fixed.

    Dave 🙂
    Your videos are always informative and fun.
    I had a bit of a different reaction to the previous fix, a lot of work went into using the nail.😉
    Sad for your camera...
    I am sure that you have replaced her by now, the underwater footage is fun to watch.
    Take care man🙂

      The shortest I could get. I prefer the fix I did on Darth Vader.

  • @GreyHulk2156
    @GreyHulk2156 7 лет назад +2

    I get the feeling that Chewie doesn't take baths that often (would _you_ want to tell him to take one?) - so this might be his first bath in years.

      I don't use Amazon. Got mine on eBay, much more choice there. Cheers

    Hi, I've been watching your videos for awhile now. I have a question... do you by chance have any broken 79 boba fett figures? I'm wanting to do a mash up figure and really don't want to destroy a perfectly fine figure. I'm having a rough time finding a already broken figure. I really just need his head and his back peice, both in good condition. for casting sake.

    Toy Polloi I think I have a good idea for a custom figure kinda... you can put a really bad C3PO with a ton of his chrome off in oven cleaner and repaint it to look like the droids C3PO figure who knows :)

    Isn't it ironic a toy Chewbacca's arms got ripped off AFTER the character made that threat to rip off C-3PO's arms in the original Star Wars movie?

  • @nowayjay2122
    @nowayjay2122 6 лет назад

    Pssst....
    I have both Chewbacca, and the Bionic Bigfoot, and they are completely different sculpts. Nothing is the same.
    However, being that they were both from Kenner in the late 70's, it's entirely possible they were both from the same sculptor.
