Re-attaching Chewbacca's arms, Vintage Star Wars 12 inch - Toy Polloi

[@loganjorgensen]

Your solutions for fixing these sure are elegant "treasury tags", can't say I've ever used one heh.

[@geojrordog1572]

I used plastic popsicle sticks but like that you had done it . sorry to hear about your camera . thanks for the tips on fxing toys

[@davidJones-mx7yw]

I call that a wookie wash

[@tonywilliams6428]

Wow, that previous owner's repair job was straight up medieval. Been pursuing a Chewbacca of late to compliment my recent Han Solo 12" purchase. You can actually find some bargains if you go after the Chewies w/the arms having fallen off, and a repair job is inevitable anyway. Thanks for the vid!!

[@toypolloi]

+Tony Williams It was a brutal fix. But probably worked. I always look for the broken toys. They are normally cheaper and can pretty much always be fixed.

[@zufalllx]

When you get better at it, you can do it without destroying anything.

[@cheds1971]

you need three hands! good fix as per usual.

[@toypolloi]

+crawford niven I wish that was possible. Would make toy fixing a lot easier!

[@timothyward8695]

Toy Polloi Mrs. Toy Polloi?

[@No1.OriginalTrilogyStarWarsFan]

Guessing you were the only bidder on this figure. Great video as always.

[@toypolloi]

+No1.StarWarsFan Ha ha. I was!!! Good guess.

[@catherinehopper3222]

because of your video I was able to fix my 12 darth vader toy from 1992.

[@technopoptart]

btw, to help with attaching arms you an use curved upholstery needles to hook onto the loop

[@Scopay73]

Can you make a replacement bandolier strap?

[@jordanballew5801]

All I see on Amazon are 25mm ones … 30mm is 3cm … Would these work ? Awesome Video !!!

[@toypolloi]

I don't use Amazon. Got mine on eBay, much more choice there. Cheers

[@jordanballew5801]

@@toypolloi Thank You !!!

[@artdearcos]

great review,....

[@The1queencollector]

This is great, nice to have options on fixes.

[@jacenstarhunter8988]

Toy-Polloi: You made Chewbacca very happy! You truly are Mr fix it.

[@iamtaliesin121]

Toy Polloi what size Treasury Tags did you use ?

[@toypolloi]

The shortest I could get. I prefer the fix I did on Darth Vader.

[@andevil777]

PlaidStallions sent me, and just in time too, cuz my Chewies arms just fell off lol.

[@UNCVTTARCHIVE]

Great fix as usual Mr. toy polloi :)

[@Tim-57]

Dave 🙂 Your videos are always informative and fun. I had a bit of a different reaction to the previous fix, a lot of work went into using the nail.😉 Sad for your camera... I am sure that you have replaced her by now, the underwater footage is fun to watch. Take care man🙂

[@georgedebleu]

Another excellent job and video! Might I suggest a good drop of CnA the knot?

[@georgedebleu]

*Cynoacrylate

[@placidrenegade]

For some reason this made me crave chocolate!

[@greenlanternhg5141]

I'm curious, have you ever done a complete figure from scratch?

[@toypolloi]

+Green Lantern HG What do you mean?

[@lisciatoredimele8919]

+Toy Polloi He probably means taking spare parts And building one

[@technopoptart]

skip to 1:39 for the horror movie

[@GreyHulk2156]

I get the feeling that Chewie doesn't take baths that often (would _you_ want to tell him to take one?) - so this might be his first bath in years.

[@timothyward8695]

Let's raise a drink to our departed friend! Action Camera, you will be missed.

[@toypolloi]

+Timothy Ward It was a sad sad day. Still, it's been replaced. Hopefully the new one will last longer!

[@Luvythicus]

@1:53 That Chewbooty~

[@brianm6337]

So... Chewbacca doubled as the Six Million Dollar Man's Bigfoot? A thousand conspiracy theorists just punched the air. XD

[@UNCVTTARCHIVE]

Toy Polloi I think I have a good idea for a custom figure kinda... you can put a really bad C3PO with a ton of his chrome off in oven cleaner and repaint it to look like the droids C3PO figure who knows :)

[@AvengerII]

Isn't it ironic a toy Chewbacca's arms got ripped off AFTER the character made that threat to rip off C-3PO's arms in the original Star Wars movie?

[@standepain]

1:57 Wookie butt!

[@LiamGoodison]

someone ripped a Wookiee's arms off??

[@jacenstarhunter8988]

Liam Goodison Total Reversal, from what we know about Wookiees huh?

[@Xyzanimator]

Haha someone lost to the wookie

[@Jonny-xq5cb]

"ironic"

[@brianm6337]

Obviously, they hated to lose more than the Wookie.

[@novax-ig9yt]

"A pretty brutal way" of fixing it. Made me laugh!

[@ethrieltd]

Am I tripping or is there a really high pitched whine during the entire washing sequence?

[@UNCVTTARCHIVE]

Are you going to do a collection Tour 2017?

[@toypolloi]

+Dr. BYx If I have time. It's on my list.

[@UNCVTTARCHIVE]

Toy Polloi you should possibly try to do it for 8,000 subscribers your really close!! ;) I'm 1 of them

[@MrKutzzy]

All Back together and ready for Life Day 2017 8)

[@itsstevenNOTsteve]

Hi, I've been watching your videos for awhile now. I have a question... do you by chance have any broken 79 boba fett figures? I'm wanting to do a mash up figure and really don't want to destroy a perfectly fine figure. I'm having a rough time finding a already broken figure. I really just need his head and his back peice, both in good condition. for casting sake.

[@toypolloi]

No, sorry.

[@MrLethal1986]

Lol check out the buns on Chewie no wonder Maz Kanata and the ladies love him.

[@rebeljedaii2571]

:( I see no sign of the right size of these treasury tags thing anywhere. I wonder if its limited to UK. My Chewie would like something besides a limp rubber band holding him together.

[@jpbeck825]

Chewi get in a hot-tub time machine!

[@nowayjay2122]

Pssst.... I have both Chewbacca, and the Bionic Bigfoot, and they are completely different sculpts. Nothing is the same. However, being that they were both from Kenner in the late 70's, it's entirely possible they were both from the same sculptor.
