I would love to do a restoration vid for karate kid figures as they're often found with legs and arms that don't stay in position etc The problem is their body is bonded together and any attempt to open up just destroys them. One day I might investigate a way 👍

@@VintageToyRush thankyou for your speedy reply. I get the bonded body bit, but re-attaching legs, damage to soft rubber face, fabric jackets repair and overall paintwork are areas I know the toy restoring world would love some help. Of course I'm asking for "A Friend!" Love the videos keep up the great work.

I don't think there's any toy fair that has plenty of 1.18! You will find some but maybe you should ask the dealers / manufacturers of 1/18 where's best to get them?

Ha ha I forgot about that! The Obi pointer may have to make a return !!!

Hey David, thanks! 🤘 Glad to have brought back some memories. It's possible your record is scratched, although unlikely if it's mostly been in the car all that time. Inspect with a magnifying glass to see if there's damage. Otherwise, there may not be enough pressure on the needle to stop it jumping from one groove to another. You can adjust with the top screw... I think I cover that near the end of the video. Otherwise it could just be grime. Clean the needle and the record - I used vinyl record cleaner but you can use anything really... a wet wipe is fine. Good luck and let me know how you get on 👍

Dave, Thanks for the prompt reply. Yeah i tried all of these things already. But i haven't used vinyl cleaner yet. I will give that a go. When i put the record under my microscope i can see some light scuffs. Maybe from the screw being too tight some times. Is there anything I can layer over the record to form a barrier for the scratches? Or do i have to find another record? Thanks again. Have a great weekend!

Hey Angelo! I agree, great figures which I think are under appreciated. Now, I've heard that Glasslite also produced desert camouflage versions of the figures as well. Is that true? Never seen them here in the UK. Are they easily available in Brazil? Thanks for stopping by 👍

Cheers Matt & Andy!! 🤘 Glad you're able to come along for the ride! I do have the Clash of the Titans figures except the Kraken of course! I've been on the lookout but haven't found one at a price I like yet 😎

Ah thanks Marc and greetings!! 🤘 Although I focus on collecting vintage, I really do admire those that are brave enough to create new items for collectors, especially those that tie nicely back to vintage. That's why I have the 'Fan Made' playlist in an attempt to support them 👍

No way!! Have you done a video on those, gonna have to watch if you have. Might see if I can find a few of them. I just love they were released by Remco 🤘

🇬🇧🥊🇺🇸

Cheers Mike!! 🤘

Thanks! Yeah, always amusing when they release toys for R rated!!

Thanks David! I was so disappointed with No Time To Die. Really hoping the next bond improves.

@@VintageToyRush Yes I found NTTD focused a bit too much on Bond's emotion problems. I really disliked the ending as well. Oh well, like you I hope the next Bond improves.

Hey Ryan!! Yeah, always enjoyable to spot some vintage Dr Who! Although they can be pricey! Robocop is one of those lines I pick up if it's a good deal 😎 The box on the Skull Hog is a little tired but was only £20, so very pleased. Thanks for watching!! 👍

@@VintageToyRush same I only get drwho or robocop stuff occasionally if it’s a good price too, but £20 for the skull hog that’s a good deal 👍🏻 I’ve been trying to get the robo-cycle but again it’s always high $50-80AUD but sometimes you get a win like you did, great job 👍🏻

Hey Dave!! Thanks! 🤘 When I saw the He-Man I thought what line is that from cause it stood out! I still don't know, where is it from?

@VintageToyRush I don't know either! I don't think it was something that was available at retail or I'd have seen it before. I found one online that had been 3D printed but it didn't look as smooth as the one in your video. I shall investigate further!

Thanks!! 🤘 I've often wondered about sellers who return with the same items show after show. If I was a dealer I'd be wanting to shift stuff as quickly as possible. But I think some dealers are happy to actually keep the items in their collection for a while 🤣

@@VintageToyRush Good point. Thanks. Yes, also to show some of their collectibles, sometimes more than wanting to sell. Although renting a spot costs money, so hopefully they are able to sell their less expensive items.

@@BlackArroToons Yeah, they must be covering their costs. I've never sold anything LOL so really not sure how much they could make in one show

Thanks, appreciate it!! 🤘

Thanks!! 🤘 I try to be a little different to the usual toy fair videos. Both sellers and buyers have thanked me for allowing them connect up after watching one of these videos 👍

Thanks Dez!! 🤘 Yeah, this time really was just a chill-out visit, no expectations to find anything 👍

Cheers Brian!! 🤘

Cheers Luke!! 🤘 Ha ha, I didn't even spot the Starcom until your comment, not at the show, not while editing 🤣 We've spoken about the Deflector cases, fingers crossed these work out for us 👍

Thanks! 🤘 Pleased with the Robocop pickup! 👍

Cheers Jon 🇬🇧🥊🇺🇸

And you Jules! Thanks for spending time walking round and having a chat 👍

Thanks Dominic!! 🤘 Appreciate the comment, this KZbin stuff isn't easy 👍

Thanks Jeff! 🤘 It was great to finally meet you. And you're right, there's nothing more relaxing than just browsing and chatting on a Sunday 👍

Ha ha!! Jax will be a KZbin sensation soon 👍 Good to see you!!

Hey Stephen, I've not been to the Coventry one but looks like it's organised by BP fairs, should be good. If you go, would be interested to hear what you think. Would love to visit a few more further north like Conventry & Doncaster.

@@VintageToyRush Will do, its about a 2 hour drive for me but would be nice to get some footage to put on here.

Thanks! 🤘 Oh yeah, that Wolfman is cool!! I think the only Wolfman in my collection is the Remco 3.75 one - love those figures 👍

@@VintageToyRush G'day Dave, Ohh that Ramco 3.75 wolfman sound nice. He would fit nicely in the background of a Palitoy Cantina Playset. Just hanging out with Hammerhead and snaggletooth. Cheers.

@@Teriyaki_Emu Ha ha!! He would! fit right in. Some of those Universal Monster figures have vinyl capes just like Vader! Definitely influenced by Star Wars styling.

Thanks Ed! 🤘

Thanks Chris! 🤘 Really appreciate your support as always 🤘

Ah yes! It's definitely hit and miss which is why I don't attend too often as it's a longer drive for me 👍

Thanks Marc!! 👍

Thanks Marc!! 🤘 Really appreciate your comment and thanks for the support. We do have a lot of events here in the UK - most of them are quite small. I've seen / know a number of collectors from Belgium & Netherlands, but yeah not seen a toy fair from Germany... yet 👍

@@VintageToyRush check out the biggest Toy Event in Germany September 14th - 15th : TOYPLOSION; this is now number two; I visited last year already; absolute crazy!

@@marcd.4301 i'll look that one up!!!

It was a while ago now... I think I showed the satin bottle but used the gloss coat. Anyway, thanks for the advice! 👍

Sure is!!

Yeah, Visionaries probably edge it for me too! However, anything with a hologram is a win!! 🤘

I had a quick look at the video and am not sure which spring you mean - I have a separate video on the Imperial Troop Transporter voice box which is very similar with lots of close ups which might help... kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2PNpHiul5yEd9E

Possibly, it was a while ago since this was done 😎

Thanks!!! 🤘 Glad you enjoyed this, definitely one of my favourite restorations. Oh, and had fun the end scene 🤣

Cheers Nic!! 🤘 Heading to Shepton tomorrow, you gonna be there?

Thanks Cameron! Really appreciate your support from the other side of the world! 🤘 I'm a fan of Slime House too, we occasionally bump into each other at toy fairs! Glad to have you here 👍

Thanks!! 👍 Unfortunately, cleaning is pretty boring to film and watch LOL so don't feature that too often 😎

@@VintageToyRush totally understand, was just curious that's all. I'll be watching this video a few times as I have a very run done Hurricane to restore. On that point,I don't suppose you have any recommendations for restoring sun faded blue plastic? Thanks, and keep up the great work

In this case, I simply used wet wipes for cleaning, and maybe a little lighter fluid for any stubborn marks (which I apply to the wet wipe). Now restoring sun faded plastic is tough - I can't give any specific advice but there are general plastic restorers out there for cars etc and possibly it could be recoloured (see Toy Polloi's video on Max Rebo) but I'm not sure if that'll work on the Hurricane plastic.

@@VintageToyRush thank you, I really appreciate the advice. I'll keep having a look and see what I find.

Thanks Bryn!! 🤘 Ha ha, glad you enjoyed the end sequence, that was fun to create. And yeah, you can have ups and downs with restorations but I love the challenge 👍

Thanks Kenny!! 👍 Appreciate it! 🤘

Thank you Scuba!! You know you're welcome anytime! 🇺🇸🇬🇧💪 Glad you enjoyed this resto!! 🤘
