Vintage 1974 GI JOE Land Adventurer Restoration

[@Forcemaster2000]

Thanks for this in-depth look into the restoration!

[@julesdecember4164]

The application of the flocking had me worried it would come out flat and possibly piled on. I'm impressed that it came out like an actual buzz cut and like the original Joe's. Nice job!

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks, yeah that's the effect I wanted.

[@donrajah1738]

That came out really nice, congrats

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thank you very much

[@vancevoyles783]

i love restoring old joes they were before my time but sill has become my goal to peice together as many as possable

[@ArmandoDy]

Awesome 😮

[@rioboy13]

MAN!!! YOU DID A GREAT JOB!!! HE LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thank you very much:)

[@chrisabcdef3908]

Really great custom, Its really awesome seeing the old guys get new life. Great work.

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks Chris, yeah its fun getting them back in action, I usually just restore them original, but felt the need to go custom this time.

[@sparkstron73]

Came out great.Like the look aswell.Kept the vintage look but the modern gear works too

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks buddy

[@robertoacevedo6247]

Just saw this video, I just ordered a land adventurer and Mike Power that im going to have to restore, just ordered a dozen pair of hands at cotswold and black boots, I have lots of clothes from lots a bought a few years ago and a flocking device thank you for another awsome video got some ideas for my restoration.

[@TheSkullReviews]

Awesome, sounds like a lot of fun, enjoy buddy🍻

[@MG-id7hl]

Very enjoyable video. I've done a number of Action Man adventurers in shades of grey/white/silver. To guys I've sold them to, the feedback has been great. Mostly I think because us mature guys (50+) who owned the originals like the figures to have "aged" like ourselves. We've all aged....so why not our action figures too? Some of my projects even get glasses too. 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Great job on the restoration, Baxter. I love watching you work on these guys. My brother's had him, they put him with the yellow six wheeled vehicle.

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks very much Lester, I had fun restoring him;)

[@TheToyBoy1978]

Nice job on the re-flocking buddy, (and the over all restoration) custom outfit looks great too!

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks, wanted to do a little something different this time, glad you like it.

[@frankschalk7790]

Give that guy a vintage snow dog and some snow shoes!

[@TheSkullReviews]

Yeah I didn't like how it came out in the end so I redid it here, check it out, I think it looks way better kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXycdYiMndGoqMk

[@reepacheirpfirewalker8629]

Another great custom your the man for sure. Major kudos to you for such a great custom.

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks very much buddy:)

[@tomjerry1800]

Show. Thank you, very much guy. 👏👏👏👏

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks for watching

[@MoYvStarkey]

Good blending.

[@garycurtis57]

I seen this video severas times I think I will try it. Stay cool

[@Spoomis]

I like how you sort of aged him.

[@Gunslinger1875]

Very nice😁😎

[@Sgt-lott10]

I’ve never actually held a 1970’s or 1960’s Joes but watching all these restoration-videos should help me repair one of necessary when I get one also, out of how many in box gi Joes I bought none have dog tags so how do I find some without paying a fortune on eBay?

[@ThePerfectSeason1972]

Thanks for the video. How does this method compare to electrostatic method?

[@TheSkullReviews]

I prefer the results from the electrostatic machine, it looks much more professional.

[@danugo6717]

Nice job man Hair colour looks great and goes really well with the outfit Excellent work

[@TheSkullReviews]

tHANK YOU, I revised this figure a few videos later.

[@bonecos_do_maninho1971]

Parabéns pelo vídeo! Bela restauração.

[@MoYvStarkey]

Please give us better framing in the future so we can see what you're doing.. Great job. Thanks for all the info

[@DENSUTUBE2008]

How durable is the flocking? Does it rub off?

[@TheSkullReviews]

Very durable, holds up well, it has to be dunked in rubbing alcohol for a few hours to remove it.

[@edwardvaca2627]

He looks like George Clooney with the grey hair.

[@TheSkullReviews]

🙂

[@tonytee5435]

Outstanding job!!!!! Go joe

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thnaks very much

[@mercoid]

Brown , silver with a pinch of white. Just like my hair. lol

[@SS-cc8wr]

What paint did you use to paint his face?

[@frankschalk7790]

Great job! I would have gone with a more period outfit, too modern for my tastes..but still looks cool

[@TheSkullReviews]

I actually redid him just like you said, video is up on the channel, vintage style outfit and reflocked him original color hair

[@Sgt-lott10]

The gray hair looks like the guy got old probably I would give him older looking cloths and an older gun

[@fannypack74]

This was incredibly helpful! Great looking fig. Do u know if I can use modge podge?

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thank you, I've never worked with modge podge myself, sorry.

[@DiegoMoreno-sc6od]

Excellent work, I really like the color of the flock, just missing the AT logo on the chest, goodbye

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks and good idea

[@steve_bal4]

Looks just awesome! (I'm binge-watching your channel tonight and they're all great vids.)

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks so much, glad to hear your enjoying my content:D

[@retromaticmike5388]

I wonder if clear flex seal would repair the hand grip

[@TheSkullReviews]

Its an idea, not sure really, maybe.

[@reepacheirpfirewalker8629]

I got one just like this except the fingers are sort of mostly gone when Cotswold gets the correct hands then I can get his hands refurbished.

[@TheSkullReviews]

Keep and eye out, they said on facebook they were getting them in real soon!

[@reepacheirpfirewalker8629]

I saw that. Was counting the ones I need hopefully won't run out of money., I've got like ten or more classic bodies that those hard hands just can't hold things right.

[@TheSkullReviews]

Don't forget the wrist pegs if your replacing the hard hands;)

[@bonecos_do_maninho1971]

Tenho interesse em adquirir um rifle idêntico a esse. Mas aqui no Brasil não encontrei.

[@glautombatista6052]

Estou precisando de capacete. Aqueles simples iguais ao casco de tartaruga!!

[@TheSkullReviews]

Thanks buddy

[@retromaticmike5388]

I should do one and get myself done brothers

[@TheSkullReviews]

Do it, why not;)

[@glautombatista6052]

Onde posso conseguir um par de mãos novas para ele???? Você vende??? Ou comprou de onde??? Aqui no Brasil está meio dificil de se conseguir!!!! Otimos produtos!!!

[@John-mh6mi]

What was name of store to buy replacement parts for my GIOJOE?

[@TheSkullReviews]

Cotswold Collectibles

[@Kevmitsu]

Where can I get that outfit?

[@TheSkullReviews]

Its a mix, pants are 25th 12" cobra storm shadow, top is from hot toys tony stark, just bashed together.

[@fransicorivas3141]

Great job. I had one of my Joe's customized with the same flock some girl in Florida does it for about 12 bucks lol. Have you ever tried restoring The Mobile Support Vehicle adventure team set rotating radar and light purchased a boxed one on eBay and just searching for any tips. Thanks

[@TheSkullReviews]

I bought one of those about a month ago and it needs a lot of work, I have not started the restoration yet but it will most likely show up on the channel.

[@fransicorivas3141]

@@TheSkullReviews Thanks I will be waiting for the video
