MetalJesusRocks back when I used to own a shop restoring cars I painted several fiberglass statues like this. Any decent automotive paint shop can restore this no problem!
I worked for gentle giant studios as a contractor painting Navi for Avatar and some other things too when I lived in LA for a stint and again I just used Automotive paint and techniques.
Hope that helps

For a professional job, have an auto graphics guy repaint it. I recommend Mike Levalle in Snohomish.
Hidden gams in this here video
You should've helped her carry that poor show.
Thanks again for helping me pick it up! As a lifelong Pokémon fan this is definitely a top 5 score for me.
KELSEY!! We had a good time that day. We'll do it again soon :)
honestly kelsey, I would ask shops that paint cars to see if they could repaint this...this looks like a job that can be done with oil based paint and a sprayer.
I would try to get into contact with rick dale (known for pawn stars and his own show) and ask him for advice he does this for a living so if anyone can give you good advice its him
Any good auto body shop should be able to paint it
Curious, what are the other top 4? Is the exercise bike up there?
When I was in Seattle a couple weeks ago, I had the honor of meeting Kelsey in that Pink Gorilla store! She’s a really nice person.
Great video! It was great having you and Kelsey over. I hope she can find someone to help her restore it.
Your gameroom is awesome!
congrats on the legendary collection bro.
Had fun meeting you and Kelsey! Watching this in the very same room for a little mini viewing party! Crazy I’ve grown up chilling in this room since the owners daughter is my best friend.
Very nice meeting you as well!! Rock on!
Great video guys. That PlayStation kiosk bright back memories.
Radical Reggie reggie!
i bet you remember playing Descent Demo lol
PROLLY TIRED I mostly remember that acid trip commercial they made featuring Rodney Dangerfield 😆
Wish you had tagged along for this vid, Reggie!
Ohhh I knew youd be eyeing that Reggie! I thought of you when I saw it! I had a Super Nintendo kiosk, until my Dad literally threw it in a dumpster....they retail for $1700 now and I got it for $30...still stings a bit.
That internal Nintendo stuff is amazing.
Steve is such an awesome guy. Connected with him on youtube years ago . One year my son and I were helping at a booth at the PRGE and he came up and gave my son a Mario Kart sweatshirt.
Please do a follow up after she has it restored. Great collection of goodies
They use one of those Pikachu statues at Pokemon TCG/VGC Events in Washington. They usually dress it up in different costumes.
I'm not expert, but based on what it looks like in the video, if it were just a patch job, the edges of where it chipped would need to be sanded down, but it also looks like it is sun faded (compared to the fresh one shown in the game room)... but I didn't see it in person, so maybe the color is fine, idk.
At any rate, it may be easier to get the whole thing repainted and clear coated, in which I would probably suggest an auto body shop. I would see if steve can take 360 degrees worth of photos for reference on what color goes where, etc.
Other than that, it would fall under the umbrella of local artists that are familiar with painting fiberglass, or resin statues, which I'm not sure how you would go about finding one, outside of maybe finding an artist group on facebook, but that might turn out sketchy and you'd want to find references of their works to make sure you get the best and most reputable person for the job.
Yes, auto body shop is the way to go!
Same goes for Fox Mc Cloud to be honest, he needs a fresh paint shop. Maybe it's possible to ask the producer of these which color tones they used? Might still be in the project archives.
Repainting (at least the yellow) would probably be the way to go. Matching the color to retouch it would be very difficult, and probably the least of your worries.
Auto shop sounds like a good place to try; seems like Seattle would also have some people with experience in restoring vintage store signs etc.?
Yes I agree, sand the entire piece, then get professionally redone.
Agree. Body shop, clear coated bit origin pics needed for sure.
LoL at Metal Jesus leaning over the NES looking at it like it's a dangerous animal. Don't wanna get too close! HaHa
Gamers' Respect
Kelsey is getting SO much more confident and comfortable in videos. It definitely shows.
As if Metal Jesus wasn't already a cool guy, he has a GTI too! Awesome.
may be a bit expensive but the best bet to restore Pikachu would be to take him to an autobody shop and let them give a quote on repainting it with automotive grade paints, if Kelsey is looking to DIY the project then the response from Access One is what should be done.
Knowing its a 4 year old vid.... Dude had a SICK collection, Metal Jesus and Kelsey worthy - WOW Collection !!!
Aw I'm glad to see how happy Kelsey is to have it! Steve seemed pretty cool, shame he didn't have some sort of online presence like some other people you've filmed with.
hey, autobody / paint guy here, I would say sand it down with a light scotch pad on the yellow parts because thats pretty far gone and mask everything off and painting it with a spraycan and a clear coat should bring it back to life. as for the blacks and reds just go in with some hand painting to touch up some of the areas.
Dunno if Kelsey fixed it yet or not but a good avenue to look at is grabbing a bunch of paint samples for a color match, grab an airbrush, mask off the parts that you don't want painted using old newspaper and tamiya masking tape, spraying it with the airbrush(gives it a better finish) and then using a gloss varnish to blend it in. Personally I suggest leaving a little bit of surface area of the old paint so it has a little extra space to blend in just in case you cannot find a 100% color match which sometimes is the case with a lot of retro and vintage collectables. I wish the best of luck in this endeavor and hope that it can be/is restored to its former glory! ^.^
Pat and Ian talked about this NES recently. Amazing.
Ecke do you have a link?
Looks it’d be some sort of serial connection.
John Simon Just search for Pat NWC console. 🤷
If you want that Pikachu refurbished correctly, I suggest taking it to a local/trusted auto body shop. It may be pricey but they can match the colors perfectly. They can sand it down and repaint correctly!
That giant pikachu is so cool. Thanks for letting us see you amazing collection of gaming stuff!!
We need more videos with Steve. He seems like a chest of knowledge and nostalgia.
Sweet score, he must not have been too heavy for Kelsie to pick up all by herself lol.
I think the guy selling Pikachu was hoping for a nice afternoon alone with Kelsey, but instead disappointed that big, protective Metal Jesus tagged along..
Awesome vid MJR!! I worry those kiosks and electronics will get wrecked being in storage in a garage. Extreme hot and cold and moisture - nooo!!
Naw... Seattle is pretty mild here. It never gets too hot or too cold year round... Moisture could be an issue (or more specific humidity)... but his house is newer so it's probably got a good seal.
That’s good to hear. I’m jealous of the collection but I need a bigger house first. From the looks of it, so does he! Lol #CollectorGoals
Oh heck yeah guys! Glad you got it picked up! Stay cool amigos 👏
So this is the guy that bought the NWC NES. It was on CUPodcast the other day.
their intro is so god awful
The new theme? I kinda dig it.
...... the man puts on no airs, he brought straight heat into this video. Kiosks out the wazoo, a priceless NES systems and he had so many props monty python would be jealous.
wow, Kelsey's eye make up game is on point in this video.
That is a fantastic statue and Steve's game collection was on point. Possibly the best way to go about restoring the Pikachu would be to match the paint as close as possible and then just sand the entire head minus the eyes and cheeks and then just repaint it. I don't think it would look good just touching up the spots. Though you might get away with touching up the smaller scratches on the body.
Awesome collection and pickup too, finding this kind of stuff is soooo difficult where I live (Italy) ,it's already difficult finding retro games alone haha
Awesome statue. We saw one of these at the Japanese shop in Epcot, Disney World.
Awesome! And I sorta have a crush on Kelsey, she so cute and humble.
I had something like this done before. I used a car dealers paint shop. Had them reproduce the paint colors i needed. Than I bought brushes and rollers to retouch. In your case you want different sized paint rollers and maybe some small brushes. The rollers will make it easy. No brush lines. The car dealers paintshop can get a perfect matched paint you need. If I lived in Seattle like i used to, I'd do it for you. I've been painting Dungeons and Dragons miniatures for years. Any who, good luck with your pikachu. That's one awesome find.
Guys you are just awesome, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing everything ( the games, the clues, the people...) one of the things I like most is that I can know more people like Kelsey and other channels, and watching you working together.
Maybe one day I could share my collection and info with other people through youtube as you do.
Greetings for everybody from Spain.
P.D: I follow you since a year, and I learn new things everyday with your previous videos uploaded years ago!
i recomend sanding the edges off the damage and building them back up with spray paint( molotow belton or montana hardcore or montana 94) then giving it a full coat in a suitable yellow taping off the black features with masking tape.
If you have any buddies who work in automotive paint shops, they have these spendy portable camera/scanner things that can get you the exact codes for matching paints. If Steve will let you come back and scan the one he has in better/less faded condition, you could get paint that matches his exactly.
Nice collection there Steve
I saw this statue back in 2006 on IGN Weekly when they did a Nintendo World Store tour. Very cool you have it for your store.
Fantastic video! Love seeing that kind of stuff. I'm going to hit up a few garage sales this weekend.
Metal Jesus and all his friends just seem like the nicest people ever. This channel inspired me to start collecting for my n64 and im having a lot of fun doing it. :)
I have a GTI also and man those cars can fit everything.
You should make a series out of this. Your best video in a while
I suggest stripping the paint, then having the original color matched at a hardware store. Then you need to cover the eyes and ears and any non-yellow or chipped surfaces before re-applying the paint. To achieve the original gloss finish you will have to have it air brush painted, similar to how a car is painted. If you want it done cheap and easy, ask a local car mechanic if they will do the paint job. May seem silly, but they will most likely do it for cheap if you cover the cost of paint.
Nice video. Kelsey's idea is a pretty good one, hope she could find a good artist to restore that statue into a Pikachu Libre.
Great video MJR! More like these in the future! This was so much fun to watch.
Thanks! It was fun to shoot and edit too.
TY Steve for showing us your lovely collection!
dude those Griffey balls are incredible! amazing collection!
Oh yea Steve is a rad vendor at PRGE!
RetroR0bbie Seattle is bringing back the Word Rad.
yea I am from canada and have honestly used the word my whole life haha
Honestly amazing collection! ASK STEVE TO FILM HIS WHOLE COLLECTION!!!!!
Kelsey could be a lawn gnome.
That is really crazy! The Meijer (grocery store) by my house used to have that Pikachu statue when I was younger and I always remember thinking how cool it was. Had no idea it was so rare.
Hey Jason, just watched love your vids. Tell her if she hasn't got it fixed yet to take it to a local collision repair shop (auto body) and ask if they can do something with it. Most guys who are trusted to paint $10,000 and above cars would be more than qualified to paint this.
That's pretty cool! Congrats on the score Kelsey!
The MJR & Kelsey Roadshow episodes are so much fun to watch. You should do more of them. Maybe a weekend garage sale hunt episode?
It's going to be really hard to touch that up, so I would suggest just color matching what is there and repainting the whole thing.
Adam Mann basically this. Sanding and patching and coating, before any paintjobs.
Kelsey in heels is the best part of this video
Visiting that particular location of PGG is now a must for me.
I’m sure it’s already been repaired by now but in my experience figures like that are fiberglass if so your best bet is to gelcoat them. It is something you could have done at a boat shop. You could also DIY it with gel coat and an aerosol sprayer. It’s something I’ve done a handful of times in the past if you want some info on it DM me.
A great pick up and a great video game collection. I need to move to Washington. There seems to be so much awesome games and collectibles there. Over here in NY there isn't too awful much.
The .56 mark she said it’s so sad.. lol. And that shirt all the little pikachus!!
It doesn't look that bad, I would sand down the chipped parts. These are made of injected plastic not resin, if it was resin then you would see some really big cracks. Also the paint used on these statues is funny, you can't use auto paint these are coated with a plastic type paint, the same paint that is used on some action figures. And the the clear I think it might be a vinyal clear coat. Anyway to save money I would just think of something that would cover up the paint chips, maybe add a paint brush to the statue and cover over the chips with other colors to make it look like he was painting.
How about taking it to Rick’s Restorations in Las Vegas, NV, they used to have a TV Show.
They sure can do but i think he is expensive.You don't have to be worlds best restorer to fix so simple thing?
Bad ass collection Steve
There's a game store near my grandparents' house that had both of those statues! Idk if they're still there, but man does this video bring back memories!
I have restored around 5 of these so far. First you want to strip off all the paint, it is the only way. Next you need to saw the statue in half and glue it back together with a glue gun. Trust me, it will make it look amazing!
Wow. Cool video. Man, I thought that was a bit brave the way Kelsey just slammed that boot down without checking the base cleared the window first. Was half expecting a trunk full of Pikachu and glass.
Another great vid. Everytime i see one of these gameroom tours it makes me want to expand my collection that much more. Being from Rhode Island i dont get very much variety out here.
I remember hearing about that NWC NES, that’s pretty sweet. I’m pretty jealous about that Conker plush. I remember always wanted to have one of those.
You can definitely paint over the chipped parts. Primer, and put a coat of the yellow paint on. Then blend it into the OG colors. Like auto body paint
This was fun to watch. Sweet find, Kelsey. And Steve’s collection is pretty sweet.
Got an idea while u were touring his game room.. u can do a series where viewers send you couple minute vids/pics of their game room and you can make a compilation of 5 or so at a time (like ‘setup wars’ on techsource)
Its hard to say because if its not that heavy then its probs made of some kind of polymer. I dont know if auto paint would work but you want something you can at least coat in some kind of protective layer after repainting it.
I'm new to your channel but just want to say I'm really enjoying your vids. I'm not a video game collector myself but can tell you're having a blast with your hobby and that's infectious.
Lucky it's mostly on the yellow doesn't look like fiber glass so guessing it's two part plastic mold, you can prob treat it like a car body panel. So fine grit sand paper to smooth out the chips, primer and UV clearcoat. I would avoid anything with an acetone base and if useing isopropyl use 50/50 with distilled water. From the looks of Kelsey's twitter photo might be worth revamping the left side looks like that's starting to lift.
I would mask out the good stuff like eyes nose mouth and sand the rest and then spray paint and then color less finish (glossy to match the rest )
I SO want to move to Seattle! In my corner of the UK, retro stores are (sadly) few and far between 😞
1:45 Your Rev transcriptionist said "engage" instead of "invade." tsk tsk
and 6:33 lol..Poor Kelsey missin' that promo
This guys collection is mint.
Your best best is to bring it to an auto body shop so they can paint it. It's gonna have to be sanded down to level off the peeling. Obviously it's gonna also needed to be tapped up correctly and they yellow color matched. That would be my best guess but it's def possible.
I think the best thing to do for restoration would be to sand it smooth, prime it, and then just repaint the whole thing. Maybe do a base coat with a couple rattle cans, but definitely go in for the details with a good airbrush after. Then clearcoat it.
I would tape of the areas i dont wanted spraypainted, then coat it in a white spraypaint primer, maybe 2-3 coats, then 2-3 coats of gloss yellow spray paint.
Alternatively, and even better, if you have a spray gun you could spray it with a matte yellow and then apply a laquer with the spray gun for a very smooth finish.
In any case, do it outside, protection glasses on and wear a mask that protects agains aerosols.
My suggestion for restoration would be to reach out to a well-regarded auto body shop in the area. They will be able to match the paint and paint on the surface. It will be a goofy conversation, but I am sure they would do it.
you guys are such genuine friends. I’d kill to have a beer with Jason and the crew someday 🥴
Ahh so it’s this guy that got the nwc nes. Great game room!!
It's so great to see that you are still making videos. Keep up the great work brother! Hopefully you make it out to Eugene sometime!
00:52 Kelsey's heart melting in 3,2,1...
05:50 Kelsey plotting a kidnapping
SOOO crazy. I didn't know these were so rare! I actually have seen one of these! It's in front of a retro shop I visit when I go to NYC
I would pick up Kelsey the way she picks up Pikachu. 💪
Kelsey find a place where they do custom auto paint work and have him completely repainted, and while you're at it see about getting Starfox a few more layers of clear to make him shine more too.
Such a lucky Pikachu !
Best bet if you want it done right is to take it to an auto body shop that comes highly recommender by someone you trust. They will have the knowledge to repair, repaint, and seal fiberglass correctly. You could try and tackle this yourself but with a rare piece it will never be to the standard someone with the proper equipment could achieve. Hope this helps. All the best.
take it to an auto paint shop. they can match the color and add protective coating. easier to do it in a paint room with spray than by hand.
I remember seeing his Reddit post asking for what the modem port was.
I shower Metal Jesus with likes whenever I can, support all the youtubers you like whenever you can
Fixing things like this aren't a problem to me. It more of the search lol
Man, would I love to live in a place where cool stuff like that can be found. I live an hour outside of DC so there’s not much around :(
Nice score, great collection. Now someone help Kelsey!
Hey man, I've got a few friends that actually can restore this stuff. I would recommend blasting it all off since Pikachu has faded over time and just have it repainted.
