Isn’t wonderful how many passionate people are remanufacturing old rare toys so others can enjoy them. And watching you build it step by step will hopefully give people the confidence to give it a go themselves. It’s an interesting fun toy that would really be cool on shelf. Sorry for the long comment… I am not a MOTU guy but this one is just fun.

One thing you have that most channels don't is that you know your stuff. Specially with MOTU. When you talk on your videos, I listen. I wanna catch everything. The time lapses are fast enough so it doesn't bore the viewer, and you're very smart in repurposing stuff like Lego and plastic sheets.

have always thought these have so much detail that 80's toy production put on but just didn't do anything with. You could make these look amazing fairly easily. You also could very easily add the dirty effect to him with a brown/black wash over the metal

Who is up for a part 2? You've seen how to do it the original way, now let's see part 2 ...adding the custom details Mattel didn't have the budget for. Use the classics figure for inspiration, paint all the little wires in, the skull details, the parts that poke into the skin etc. It would make for a great part 2.

It’s been a pleasure watching you build this, Dave. You’ve definitely got me interested in giving it a shot myself. I was thinking that the customization possibilities are endless with this project. Having a blank canvas to work with would allow you to paint it however you like. You could get as detailed as you wanted. It would be cool to see how the addition of some different colors to the detailing might change the overall look. I do like the button for the light up feature as well and the quality of the product’s materials seem very good. So glad you had an awesome experience with it. Thank you for another highly enjoyable video.🙏

Just a tip, without a current limiting resistor between the battery/switch and the leds you run the rik of blowing out those leds, at least it will greatly reduce their life and the batteries will also run down very quickly.
