Leave a comment and show us some love for a midweek post!

[@Largoontherocks1]

Did my comment on the last video promote me to Content Director?! i accept!

[@larav6505]

Yass!! What a nice surprise!! Would love multiple posts a week please 😜🤣🤣👌🏽Always good stuff.. Thanks Ryan and crew 🙌🏽

[@toyfederation]

@@Largoontherocks1 Ha. If we told you we had every video planned out 3 months ahead of time would it crush you?

[@Largoontherocks1]

@@toyfederation It would not surprise me to know that jajaja. ( off topic, but do you guys also deal in knockoffs, like Ninja Hero Riders?

[@HorusHawks]

Oh wow, I’m with Largoon, I love watching the repairs. It takes me back to when I was a little too rough with my cousin’s Mego Human Torch and I broke the elastic band inside. I had to buy them a new one with my birthday money. 😢 And Largoon, if they’re anything like the toy collectors I know, they definitely are into the counterfeits and knockoffs. The crazier the better, lol.

[@GAGNE_VR1]

Awesome bonus content! We need more fix it and parts videos!

[@carlbenfield2971]

This man is 100% happier doing his job than me doing mine lol

[@bryanincognito3982]

I am so fascinated with all of these Toy Federation videos. I wish there were shops like this around me.

[@jacobsisson416]

I could watch Joe repair and matching parts for HOURS! How much did you price the Shockwave???

[@wilkiedriver]

I enjoyed this partly because I enjoyed the ending of the last video!

[@davidjoswick1610]

One of the rare times I’ve seen Andy without a dip in his mouth.

[@fatredfu]

Reminds me of my Joe repair setup, except now it's called kitbashing 😂 Thanks for the midweek post!

[@superquad7]

I'll honestly watch a video qbout anything you guys do as part of your work. Love the channel!

[@admiralarroyo777]

Thank you for showing some repairing/behind the scene. It's pretty neat

[@toyfederation]

Glad you liked it!

[@Dax-D]

This is my current passion and I have learned a lot since my first 0-ring replacement. Unfortunately by the hard way with 2 waist breaks, but now I confidently do the repair without damaging any parts. I've also gotten good at repairing loose knee joints without breaking during the disassembly. For that I found plumbers tape works really well without any damage and restores tight joints. Next up is the rivets in the arms. This one is going to be a challenge however.

[@grendel0013]

It must feel so satisfying completing each one. Dream job.

[@markgibson6987]

Came here from Froggy Flips - awesome channel!!!

[@thewalruswasjason101]

What a “job”!!! Btw, can paint be touched up? I’d imagine if so, you could really make some minty!

[@davehand8622]

Nice to see other aspects of the shop. It shows the level that you work at. It's not just an old toy, might just be a part to complete one.

[@decepticonzerora]

As a kid, 1982, mom gave us $20.00. We were rich! My brother and I went to the Hawthorne Mall and bought Destro, Cobra Viper and a Fang! We were happier than pigs in s**t. Awesome GI Joe restoration center oops sorry, Medic Bay!

[@pagec4445]

What tools do u use to repair the toys? Can you please make a video on what you use and what’s best for certain action figures?

[@El69_]

I can watch him all day fixing some joe’s

[@ReisWorld]

You should show how to take a GI Joe Mortal Kombat ninja apart and fix the o ring and action arm on them.

[@rocketqueen232]

You guys should set up a shopify store and then ship to Australia 😅

[@bradleycoe6972]

these videos are awesome hope we get one at least once a week.

[@RLTango]

0:51 - I agree! An intact crotch is a very important thing. (Sorry for the low-effort post.)

[@donnied74]

Love the midweek post it will get me through to the weekend

[@toyfederation]

Glad you enjoyed it! These seem to not get the same amount of views as the main videos despite everyone constantly asking for more episodes

[@chainstriike1741]

Shockwave was one of my favorite characters and I never had him

[@Boback111]

I used to grab the rings from ace or aco. Have a couple boxes like that somewhere.

[@michaelstopher1471]

I was so unbelievably excited when I discovered I could switch limbs on figures. Those Sgt. Slaughter arms were beefy.

[@carlosarellano4]

On a Wednesday 😮🎉😂Heck 👍 yes!

[@flyfly2427]

I need cobra bat. Waist, legs, and right arm. Not worried about the right arm saw or anything. Just looking for normal hand arm that comes off. Besides for those pieces I can assemble the bat I have. Lmk how much those certain limbs I need will cost me

[@SiliconRiot]

Where did you get that black and orange screwdriver..?

[@kevinyoung9557]

Looks like fun.

[@TheSuitup]

Enjoying the videos, keep it up.

[@djpoopypants4741]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@CATSRULE1969]

Can you guys fix-repair old HALO figures ?? My son has a ton of figs (inc rarer ones) that he no longer cares about. But unfortunately many have broken arms, legs 😥😭 Are they fixable, or basically just trash ?

[@dontstopremembering]

This is interesting

[@parttimegamer5938]

A could do this day in day out😋

[@myflathaunting]

Has toy federation got an eBay I can order Motu parts from but I live in UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@toyfederation]

We do not.

[@davidtrujillo1648]

Can you show how to do a ninja force gi joe

[@johnbolen9770]

Just andy joeing around lol

[@toyfederation]

Yep!

[@whysoanger]

You didnt tell us how to fix an O ring...

[@toyfederation]

We didn't, we showed yoU!

[@3drage]

Step 1: Have a shoebox full of torsos. Step 2: Open and close various small parts drawers. Step 3: Hook on a small rubber gasket to feet, move through intact crotch, blurry, classified, blurry, classified. Step 4: Declare complete and place in plastic coffin. Step 5: Mistitle video and publish it for views!

[@d-anger-noodle]
