the hoth trooper has always been my favorite stormtrooper, I've always loved the long mask on the figure.

It's hard to explain to a younger generation who don't understand our love for Star Wars, but it really was a love of the toys primarily. We loved the look of these cool figures who were barely in the movies but who meant a lot to me. I've met actors at comic cons who played people like Klaatu and Prune Face based purely on how beloved their characters were to us, via the toys.

@thereallantesh5 жыл бұрын
That came out pretty good. Isn't there a way to whiten the limbs up somewhat though? Maybe soak them in hydrogen peroxide out in the sun for a few hours? Some day I need to fix my Princess Leia figure. My sister broke one of her legs off when we were kids. The leg of course is long gone. If I can pick up another broken figure at some point maybe I can attempt a repair like you've done here.
@brianartillery6 жыл бұрын
You could have just filled the head holes with superglue, and then gone over it with a white paint marker - that's what I did many years ago. Superglue is a good small hole filler in it's own right. It will degrade, and indeed dissolve, if it gets wet, by the way.

Nope. I really don't like the look of a plastic figure painted. I would rather it looked like it should do, even a bit miss matched.

Can anyone help me with disassembly of an old figure like this? I have a few that I'd like to take apart to make molds from, but I'm worried that I'll destroy them trying to pry the front and back halves of the torso apart. Any info would be appreciated!
@jackg.77454 жыл бұрын
Is there any significances or rarity to this particular figure that comes apart like this? I’m asking because I own hundreds of Star Wars figures and many are Snowtroopers. Only one of the entire lot comes apart like this. I’ve never repaired it because I didn’t know if it had any significance. Thanks for your help.

Do you have any tips for separating the torso part of the figure like in the beginning of the video? I know they are fragile and tend to break, and I want to avoid ruining the figure when I separate the front and back parts.

Once you have the arms and legs out you can normally pry them apart with a screwdriver placed in the leg and arm holes. But go slowly.
