Cool video! I need to do the same process on my original figures from back in the day.
Definitely restore without hesitation! They belong to you and so what you like. I do a lot of restorations myself, and I'm always looking for new ideas and techniques. New subscriber.
I was on the fence until I watched this. HLJ has him in stock for a good price and low shipping. I’m anxious to get him now. Thanks!
Yes please do more show all aspects.Bit by but great info!
Oh good!
Thanks!!!
And 👍👍👍
You got the good snaggletooth
Those two Landos aren’t duplicates. They are variants.
Good find
Anxiously awaiting the next step in ur restoration…
I have another cleaning video on the way for another ~30ish figures from a smoker's home. Still waiting for the paint to come in to do touch-ups on the really badly chipped ones :)
Always cool to discover a new channel with figure restoration videos. Liked and subscribed. Any suggestions for how to remove marker stains? Soap and water didn't do the trick and neither did a 24 hour soak in rubbing alcohol. J$H Sunday 01.01.2023 1:13 a.m PS Happy New Year (this was my first comment of 2023)!
Hello! I've had luck with nail polish remover (acetone), but it can also take off paint/printing you don't want to remove as well, so it depends. If the area the marker stain is on happens to be white you could use benzoyl peroxide to help bleach it. Hope this helps! :)
i love star wars but this week i am boxing up a life time collection to send off to my first online auction. the guy who did our online knife sales. as in 500 knives over 5 sales. he is doing my auction on hi bid. 40 vintage figures. vintage darth vader tie fighter. other vintage stuff. tons of power of the force. ships. figures. new in box. then games. cards. books. puzzles. die cast. micro machines. jawa cralwers. and tons and tons more stuff. action starts in 3 weeks. i have to have it all inventoried. cleaned up. test all electronics to make sure all stuff works still etc. then he will do all the photos and he sends the stuff out and he gets 20 percent. just like our knife sales. i never planned on selling mine either bro but i got home repairs that now take priority so i need the loot. but many figures i have need capes or ligth sabers and i now you can get repop sabers or 5 etc. my vintage wont go to high i dont think as many are missing weapons or cape but the figures are good. but someone who restores them might be stoked as they would get a hell of a deal.
I don't mind restored toys. What I do mind is 20 years ago crap-condition and "played-with condition" toys were the norm, but today the norm is pristine-condition vintage toys with a single flaw. Perfect stickers everywhere, and yellowed toys are somehow a lot rarer than they used to be. And not a single seller is honest enough to admit he's charging you a premium-condition price for a restored piece with repro stickers, paint fixes, and other work done to them.
I get where you're coming from, I've definitely seen some questionable listings that aren't upfront about restoration. In my case, I don't plan on selling them. I just wanted them to look nice on my shelf without them being sticky or smelly haha
What should a action figure smell like in your expert opinion. I want mine to smell like freedom and prosperity although I’ve never smelled that before. Maybe bleach
I like mine to smell like doo doo butter
For starters: Dont keep them all in the same bag.
Shouldn't you keep them in the same condition?
Wouldn't cleaning them lower their value?
I would've worn gloves.
Yeah, I probably should have lol. They were dirtier than I initially realized!
