    Rattlesnake Toys is a great place for 1/6 accessories, either custom builds or maybe replacement, anything that suits your fancy. They have some of the best prices and breakdowns, located in Arizona. I honestly don't recommend Black ops toys whatsoever because they upcharge literally everything that even ebay sellers list cheaper. Rattlesnake Toys and Toy Anxiety are the way to go! Happy collecting guys!

    I've found a heating pad to be a great (and quieter) alternative to a hair dryer. It is also less likely to damage rooted hair when switching heads. Acne medicine to eliminate stains has been a staple in vintage doll collecting for years. You might want to test it out in a hidden area first before slathering it on larger areas. Thanks KeCo!

    Any methods to repair split-deteriorating rubber on 1/6 scale figures. I've spent a lot of money on the seamless figures of Lara Croft, I have also created 2 custom Lara Crofts and they aren't even 2 years old but I have noticed splitting at the knees, elbows, groin areas. I'm really disappointed that they deteriorate like this. Is there anything that can be done to mend the deteriorating areas? I'm not willing to purchase new body sculpts if this is the quality I'm paying for. Any help would be greatly apprecciated.

    • @KeCoCollects
      @KeCoCollects  2 года назад +1

      Seamless figures will always have issues unfortunately. I don't use them myself, but I know 303 protectant wipes work on faux leather. Unfortunately I don't know much about rubber. Certainly not to repair, but some type of oil perhaps could keep it from getting worse? Once again, I'm not sure. Good luck!

    • @KeCoCollects
      @KeCoCollects  Год назад

      I think super glue may be the one enemy that can't be defeated sadly. I would suggest mineral spirits, but that would strip the paint. If you can't find a replacement, you may want to strip the whole mini gun and then repaint it - good luck!
