Star Wars Black Series Jet Trooper Leg Swap Custom Tutorial GameStop Gaming Greats Battlefront II

[@smokinjoep8557]

I'd definitely watch more Fwoosh Fixes in the Future. Hoping you and Wade work out the xmen animated watch a long.

[@nightwing1823]

As much as I definitely agree 1000%, I think we'll watch anything Robo posts!!

[@TammyBoy]

The Clone Pilot Hawk, the Bad Batch Rex, and this Jet Trooper are the figures that have this issue. Thank you for making a video on how to fix it.

[@Spleenszuru93]

Commander Bly too, but I don't dare to fix his legs this way, looks to risky to me.

[@dondjarin3987]

Fwoosh Fixes got a nice ring to it

[@travellingman2189]

Robo, gotta say - you are truly the Bob Ross of the action figure collecting community. Your enthusiasm, good vibes and dulcet tones always chill me the hell out - esp after a long day at work! Thanks for spreading the plastic joy :)

[@jonathanche6553]

Hear hear!

[@lloydabraham4739]

That trooper without his leg and another clone tending to him could actually be an amazing scene for the display

[@khianmercado153]

This would be helpful especially that I am going to buy the 80 years Iron Man. I was hesitant at first because of the QC issues, but now I feel ready to fix that honk of plastic thanks to Fwoosh Fixes.

[@TheFwoosh]

That's another good one for a nice simple heat and pop.

[@jptaylor8852]

Yea now I can fix my McFarland redeemer.

[@travellingman2189]

@@TheFwooshWe now interrupt your usual programming for a Fwoosh Public service announcement :)

[@khianmercado153]

@@TheFwoosh you're right this is kinda the same process on the jet trooper and the biceps of 80 years Iron Man. Thank you for this video so I can fix mine when it arrives.

[@buzzsawgr81]

these shins seem to be a major QC oversight for this figure. might try this.

[@eddievelazquez5221]

This needs to be a series. Extremely informative 😇 Maybe join this with a playday?

[@TheFwoosh]

These actually get me closer to Play Days, since it's two birds with one stone!

[@sirericbrown]

This was definitely helpful to see. Fiddling with figures makes me nervous as I don’t buy multiples of the same figure.

[@SpaceAcex]

Extremely helpful! Thanks for posting this dude

[@bradgerlt9986]

Would definitely love more Fwoosh Fixes in the Future!

[@andyspillum3588]

Ooooh! Yes Please! I've always Loved the vids where you're fixing or modifying figures, even if I'm familiar with the process I always get technique tips and ideas. And it's more Robo even if there's no toy news.

[@gojiking5456]

Hello there! Didn't know I needed this fix... but now I can't live without it 🔪🔪🔪

[@The_Last_KrypTONYan]

I’d love more Fwoosh Fixes! Your videos taught me how to fix the 80th anniversary Iron Man Marvel Legend’s arms and the Sentinel’s knees.

[@master.rancisis.figures]

Would love to see more "Fwoosh Fixes"!

[@marcusyee2211]

Yes for more Fwoosh Fixes in the future 😄

[@keeganhall8334]

It’s ridiculous that this continues to be a problem for hasbro! Enjoyed the vid, would def watch more like this

[@TensionSlap]

Yeah my favorite part is they’ll continue using the same mold with the same issues for other figures too. Had two of the old Symbiote Spider-Man figures break on the butterfly then got another figure with the same mold years later and it still had the same issue and almost broke but I put it in the freezer and that fixed it

[@DuoMaxwell]

Thanks for this tutorial. I've been wondering what wrong with the Bad Batch Captain Rex. Also more tutorial vids will make great content!

[@TheFwoosh]

Someone mentioned this in another comment. I didn't get that Rex so I didn't even know that was a problem.

[@ZeroB4NG]

@@TheFwoosh Hawk as well...

[@biggdogg1975]

1. More of this please 2. I would love to see how you do a kick bash also

[@1983Archer]

I have been fixing my own figs since 98... Some of them bcause of my own rough play. But i like these types of videos Robo. Keep em coming.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, you get some appreciation for the engineering and process, plus a confidence that you can fix it if you do break it.

[@mr.grinsekatz3205]

You're funny. I like you. And I like Star Wars. Subscribed.

[@michaelvaldez5993]

I'll definitely be watching Fwoosh Fixes... all those years of experience, I'd love to learn your ways...

[@Batmikeman]

Yes please do more Fwoosh fixing 😁👍

[@deadmaninc0101]

Yes please! we need a Dr. Robo helmet removal tutorial

[@durant100]

Great video. I’d love to see more “fix” and “how to” videos.

[@lucarocks7866]

More Fwoosh Fixes, please. Been asking some of the bigger channels to do that for years. THANKS ROBO!

[@SuperSpike013]

Definitely need more Fwoosh Fixes or even customizing tutorials

[@ASSIANRED]

Dang it! I really needed this like 2 days ago 😂 doing this before was SUCH A PAIN!!!!!!

[@jacobmccullough12]

I would absolutely watch more Fwoosh Fixes. The music playing during the heat-gun shots had me laughing! Keep it coming Fwoosh!

[@medicationquest]

Thanks for the walkthrough! Even as a customizer it's nice to see your process. Would love to see your method of prying off Clone helmets too!

[@TheFwoosh]

I've actually never removed one of those helmets so that may be more fumble than fix, but I'm going to give a shot!

[@medicationquest]

@@TheFwoosh don't get nervous about how much you're deforming the helmet. I literally had to flip it inside out in order to get at the glue on the top of the head!

[@simpleclonetrooper2740]

This reminds of that scene from "Small Soldiers."

[@Spidrick]

More fixes please. I did learn one fix from you, the boiling water. I had a Namor that would not grip this trident. So I soaked him in boiling water and the trident went right in his hand! I since use it on a Batman Beyond who had a still arm joint. Perfection! Thanks!

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh yeah, heat and hands go.....hand in hand....these days. Too stiff? Heat it, open it, grip the weapon. Too open? Heat it, hold it smaller, let it cool. Heat is our friend.

[@restock_1731]

I did this for Cody a while ago and I totally didn't do it the "quick" way like this. Super awesome video, it makes me wanna inspect my Jet Troopers a bit better now. Definitely would love more "how to" videos. 👍

[@NaiveSteve]

Craftsman? I'm more of a Dewalt guy myself. 🤣 anyways thanks for the video robo, sometimes I forget that 10 years ago I was scrolling forums learning how to do stuff like this. It's always good to upload basic tutorials for those who are new to the hobby or have never run into these issues.

[@bodiecollection]

Bauer boys all day lol oops I mean Milwaukee

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I went into the hardware store and picked a heat gun, never paid attention to brand until you said it. I liked the thought of the temperature knob on the side, even though I've rarely used it.

[@disbegroe1]

I was rockin out during them heat gun segments!!!!!!

[@elmmolags3069]

You should do more of these! I really appreciated it and will for sure do it to my figures!

[@matlavi4075]

This is handy! Looking forward to a boiling water tutorial next! I have some neca figures that are very stiff and have heard boiling water works well to get them loose but I want to see how the process works.

[@EveretteH]

I don't have any Neca but I've used boiling water to take apart figures before so I assume it's the same process. Hold em over the boiling water just to give the plastic a little heat in order to soften up the joints a lil bit

[@gunsharck]

I’ve got a ton of neca and I must say they are utter arse

[@joaoangel5579]

I put a cup of water in the microwave for like 2 minutes or so. I recently saw on Instagram to put the figure in a ziploc bag then dunk them in the water so you don’t have to deal with drying them.

[@fuzzybluedemon6083]

I'm just picturing you heat gun putting out a driving rock soundtrack everytime you turn it on. Hey, we could market this!

[@TheFwoosh]

The Fwoosh Heat Gun, takes a licking and keeps on rocking!

[@lorddeez1385]

I like this, this is super helpful and I would watch more. Thinking about getting into customs a bit, so this helps a lot

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh man, jump in, it's fun.

[@onepouchman]

Robo, huge fan, I thought you heat the knee joint and push the pin through! You actually go all gnarly combat medic with the pliers! 😆

[@TheFwoosh]

I've thought about that, but need a solid piece with a hole in it to brace the leg. As is, it pushes the other side out as much as I'm prying, so it's about the same amount of stretching.

[@rileycr0552]

Wow, I was hesitant to try this but it worked like a charm! Took me about ten minutes.

[@naomishelton1960]

Oh my gosh that was amazing!!! I have been busy all day but it was a relief to come home and see there was a Fwoosh video posted. That took my day from a 3 to a 10 out of 10! Thanks Robo.

[@GreenHillHedgehog]

Really appreciate this Robo! I've always been curious how feet get swapped after I got my brother a Spider-Man with 2 left feet. Good to know a technique in case I need it in the future. I'd love to see more videos like this! Maybe more figure kitbashing and disassembly? I know you said you don't do much painting now, but I'd love to hear some pointers for fixing paint splotches and chipped paint. I have a few Marvel Legends that need some TLC!

[@TheFwoosh]

I've actually been getting back into more painting but find it difficult to film. I lean way too far into the figure to get a comfortable position with the camera. But I'm working on some things.

[@bodiecollection]

Uncle Robo can you please go on ootb that would be epic

[@forrestpenrod2294]

I'd love to see more fix-it videos! I already knew the basics of what was in this vid BUT it was a nice refresher and you added some tips on stuff I didn't know.

[@nilocomic]

Just did this exact fix, and it worked like a charm! Thanks for sharing this. Hope we’ll see more in the future!

[@rarewhiteape]

This technique and a lick of red paint would make for some NICE dismembered stormtrooper dioramas.

[@JeffJohnson]

So many things popped in my head when I saw this: 1- They had posable figures 30yrs ago??? I'm 49 and can't remember anything before the 80's 2- I was waiting for you to say something similar to be careful of the small parts, Don't put them in your mouth 3- I would love to see more of the Fwoosh FixIT

[@TheFwoosh]

Dude, almost 30 years ago was the mid-90s. I was boiling and popping and customizing the Star Wars revival line!

[@Velvety_]

Any type of tutorial would be nice to see, since you have a long history with this hobby and def know your stuff

[@MarkyD1967]

It does look daunting like you say, but I appreciate you showing how it’s done. Not sure I’d ever do it because I have no skills and I’m sure I’d be breaking and snapping those little pins or feet plugs. I may consider fiddling with something like this if I ever see GameStop put this figure on clearance for less than $10 bucks, then if/when I ruin it it won’t feel like such a big deal. Again, appreciate the tutorial!

[@comix1017]

Oh great, I didn't notice it on the figure until I watched this. Well, now I have something to do tomorrow if I get bored I guess. Nice tutorial, it's exactly how I do things like this too, I prefer a hair dryer over hot water, but sometimes the water is the best depending on what you're trying to do. Fun fun fun

[@jamesstolk9848]

Thank you, you make it less intimidating. At first when I saw you bending plastic I was like nooooo way that figure was close to 30 bucks. But then I was oooooh that works. Great job.

[@snakesolid2279]

I’d love to see how you crack that umbra operative. I’d also love to see some of your custom techniques at play.

[@JRSanchez93]

I believe those pliers are for rounding out craft metals for earrings and stuff in case anyone is curious. Picked up the green ones at Walmart a few months back for neck pegs.

[@TheFwoosh]

That's them! They have a good grip while keeping the ability to get into small places.

[@Lance_Manyn]

Robo, I'd like to see some examples of the custom paint work and touch ups you've done and tutorials like this one on the pros and cons and methods you use for techniques such as washes and dry-brushing.

[@gonickyourself]

Good stuff, Robo. I’d definitely like to see more of these tips/tricks.

[@danielball5261]

Wire pliers is what I've always heard them called. Due to the block tip ones supposedly being strictly for nuts and bolts.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Really useful vid Robo. I watched your review and arm swap for the 80 Years Iron Man. I followed your advice except I used hot water. Worked a treat as I have no heat gun or hairdryer.

[@Sydwase]

Thanks for this, I’ve been wanting to fix my Jet Troopers and this video has given me the push to do it. I would love to see more customization basics videos like this.

[@makisvabo]

Did you already fix them?

[@STRKLLR]

This was great! Thank you for sharing your process.

[@jmeyer3927]

I’m a big fan of this type of video. I did a similar swap on Hawk even though I was pretty scared to do it.

[@DCReviews4]

This is a great resource for new collectors, definitely do more fwoosh fixes!

[@donbiz3307]

I find that your average small electric space heaters are perfect for softening up figures. They kicks out just enough heat to get a figure good and rubbery while never actually melting the plastic. Just park a figure in front of one and walk away for a while, no risk of melting plastic or scalding yourself with boiling water and you don't have to sit there holding a hair dryer or heat gun to your figure for several minutes.

[@lordwisehammer]

i know you probably don't have a second one to do it with but I'd love to see how you fixed Clone Pilot Hawk's mouth piece or a similar problem. I'm an old hand with model kits but I get really gun shy when it comes to messing with Pre-built action figures so it would be nice to see how it's done.

[@TheFwoosh]

I don't think I did anything major with that mask, it was just wasn't secured on one side. I dabbed some superglue and clamped it down for a few hours, straightened everything out.

[@foldabotZ]

When I do things like this, I use less tools than you do. I use a hair dryer/hot water and a small screwdriver with a hexagon-shaped head to push out/back in the the pin.

[@jptaylor8852]

Looks like fun.

[@darth_batman8190]

Thank you for doing this how to video. I have seen yours and some other customs online that I have really liked and have wondered how to do it. I appreciate you sharing the knowledge. I have a couple of Stormtroppers that could use this swap.

[@arc-trooper_chris7th]

Please do make more videos to fix them and I wish this video would had come out sooner cause I had fixed my Cody and it was a pain to do but I got it done tho

[@bcfowler82]

Love seeing videos like this! It's extremely easy to do this type of thing but not a lot of people know it. Or there to scared there going to mess up there expensive figure. I feel em on that one. But once you get the hang of it you'll be doing it all the time without any damage to be seen. My go to is boiling water. Got an electric tea kettle that's perfect for doing this.

[@Shakes_The_Clone]

More fixes (and custom tutorials!), please.

[@GlaciusX2]

Yo Robo, if you dont want to mess around with microwaving water.... just buy a electric kettle xD even the most basic ones boil a full pitcher of water in sub 1 minute, i mostly use it to boil water for coffe but also helps out when i need to heat up some figure parts

[@TheFwoosh]

Hmmm, I may give that a look, thanks!

[@broissey]

THANK YOU. I had no idea this was an issue. I plan on displaying my Star Wars figures in the future but don't currently have the space for a display so most of them are still in the box. I just watched this so I took my fig out of the box and followed your steps to fix it. I gotta see if there are any other figures with this QC issue that I can fix.

[@bookat69]

Fwoosh Figure-Fixings/Fixes and Fumblings

[@TheFwoosh]

Oooo, that's something I can work with....

[@matthewaguilar7849]

If you have something to widen the peg hole it’s much easier to get the peg through. If you are going to boil your figures: 1. Don’t use a pan you use for food 2. Wait till boiling is done to dip figure 3. Try not to boil figures you’ve painted

[@Gian4455]

When I have to boil figures I usually get the figure in a ziploc bag (unless you need to get the water everywhere), that way the figure keeps dry to handle.

[@gunior4854]
