I always loved these old O-Ring Joes. I would spend hours mixing and matching parts to create my own new figures. Great fix Dave!😃

I use the little red hoses that come with wd-40 cans work great. But I do like this method. And believe I will use it from now on. Just ordered some of those lego parts on ebay.

Brilliant!!! What a great idea. Now all I need are a bag of antennas. Put a little nail polish in the bob that the knee attaches to. It will snug it up.

Night Viper was my favorite G.I Joe as a kid. Now my kids play with it as well as a host of others Joe's. My biggest bane with this character was the visor and rifle holster stubs (on the leg) would always keep breaking. Still to this day a cool looking toy.

I know this video is a couple of years old so I will just add that plastiweld or uv resin gives a longer lasting hold than super glue.

Good info Dave!. I need to get some lego antennas. Also, Night Viper in particular has a lot of pegs... the pegs on his leg to hold his gun, and the pegs that hold his visor on, then another peg that holds the night vision scope onto the visor. Thank you buddy!

@davecardoza47622 жыл бұрын
Great fix today Dave. Thank you for giving us great ideas on fixing our Gi.Joes. The plastic used on these action figures was so delicate that the joints would break easily due to constant play. I have 2 Night Vipers and I fixed the leg of one, but there's another problem with that particular action figure. The two connectors on the sides of the helmet where the visors or night vision goggles go, are always breaking. I would love to see another video where you tackle that problem. Again, thanks Dave for your superb ideas on how to fix these toys. 👍

I'd definitely be interested in more videos about joint repairs for these sort of figures - luckily my Action Force figures are mostly okay but my Galoob A-Team figures seem to be broken everywhere, and luckily those and the Black Hole figures seem to use the same basic design as these Action Force / GI Joe figures.
