Vintage MOTU Ninjor restoration and Robes - Toy Polloi

[@BennyLlama39]

I have to admit, one thing I enjoy about Toy Polloi-- besides the nostalgia-- is the calm, straightforward way things are explained. And some of the music's not bad, either. 🙂

[@toypolloi]

Thanks 👍

[@appalachianwoman561]

I never heard of Ninjor in Masters of the Universe and I was an 80s kid (tomboy of a lil girl that loved MOTU & GI Joe) but he might have came along after I'd moved on to Joe's. I'm just glad to see old toys given new life, a home and loved again.

[@briansadler7270]

The robe and nun chucks look great.

[@drawingbyhand]

Brilliant ninjor restoration dave especially the dragon logo and weapons. awesome stuff.

[@MyNameGoesRightHere]

This has been an astoundingly good restoration. Lots of different issues to be fixed, and great ingenuity on all of them. I wish I could give you 20 likes instead of just one because they would be more than deserved!

[@toypolloi]

Thank you very much!

[@spacechild1994]

You're amazing 👏 Bravo Dave !!

[@purplerangers6245]

Awesome fix up, master of your work.

[@josegonzalez9728]

Like always amazing video! Thanks for sharing All this with us. Special mentíon for the computer work fixing the measures of the pictures. Awesome!! Greetings from southern Spain.

[@matthewh5862]

Another well finished piece there.

[@banzaibobA7V]

Nice to see a restoration on a more unusual MotU figure. Those robes are quite something. Great job recreating them!

[@toypolloi]

Thank you very much!

[@user-lk9sx9we9u]

Loved it. Thank you.

[@sithcarebear1]

You definitely had your work cut out for you on this one, but you exceeded any expectations with how fantastic this turned out. Cheers!🍻

[@toypolloi]

Thank you so much 😀

[@alexcimmerian2185]

I really love your work ❤

[@toypolloi]

Thank you so much 😀

[@SweepWoofin]

Always love the little tunes you play throughout your videos. I could tell there’s a Toy Polloi video on with my eyes closed!

[@andrethib]

nice job! a ninja bo staff might be a cool custom upgrade

[@DaBuild]

Very nice channel! Cheers! 😀

[@toypolloi]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@TheRetroTinker]

Awesome work Dave! That robe came together fantastically! Excellent video mate!

[@toypolloi]

Thanks! It's a very interesting design on the robes, but it works.

[@grahampeat6945]

Always love a cloak/ cape/ robe episode, and those nun chucks are brilliant , I need to come up with an idea for making a Blake’s 7 weapon for my Avon custom and things like this help me to keep brainstorming 👍

[@toypolloi]

Oh cool. An Avon custom sounds great! The Blake's 7 weapons were pretty unique looking from what I remember. Like a wand. Maybe Lego is a good starting point. Some of the early Lego space weapons looked quite similar.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

I had a friend from years ago who felt that having both Ninjor and Jitsu as villains but had no heroic counterpart was unfair. So he took a head from Fisto and put it on the body of Prince Adam then had his grandmother make him a white with blue version of Ninjor's outfit. Basically creating a uber muscular version of a white ninja Chuck Norris. 😁

[@piero_75]

Can Toi Polloi make a totally successful job of restoring this complex ninja figure? Shuriken!!

[@toypolloi]

🤣

[@Glassy1979]

As many other people have noted on this feed, I never came across this figure as a kid, but looks really cool now he’s had his makeover. Once again I’m blown away with your ingenuity Dave. Really enjoyable video

[@markshellard5894]

ever notice a lot of the figures used the same bodies just painted different

[@Phantasia_Workshop]

Mattel got a lot of use (i.e., low expense) out of three basic bucks: human, reptile and beast

[@Tim-57]

Hey Dave Once again a figure i had no idea existed, he looks great in the end. As always thank you and take care.

[@andrestroncoso9672]

I’ve been waiting a long time for this video. So glad you’ve made it. Great video thank you Dave. He looks great!

[@crab0traps0now]

I would have thought the nunchucks would have been very difficult to fabricate, but you made short work of it. I need to channel you when I run into road blocks restoring my G1 Jetfires and other Robotech toys.

[@toypolloi]

The marvel of editing makes me have super powers 😂

[@treasuresfortrigger915]

What a fantastic restoration of this stealthy boy! 🥷 The robe really does make him, beautiful work Dave 🤩

[@eltenda]

Excellent project!!!

[@davudandrews2665]

If you ever get broken t m n t Michangelo nunchucks you can use very small eyehooks and a small chain necklace to make nunchucks as well cool video as always Dave

[@brianbuchmeier]

He looks awesome! I actually wasn't sure you were going to be able to get the mask to look just like the original, but you nailed it.

[@BrynSmith76]

Really cool, love it.

[@pinkubusXtreme]

Another knockout dave, definitely gonna revisit this one when i find a junk ninjor in need of a robe and possibly weapons or end up making a slamurai custom!

[@1mwadsworth]

Very nice. Great job dude 😎

[@TeflonDave]

AMAZING restoration! The robe looks great, but the the emblem recreation process was just fantastic and the end result looks terrific! I pulled up an image of the vintage nunchucks and, except for the chain, it's a dead ringer. AWESOME job! My friend's 10 y-o is starting to 3d print replacement missiles and such for vintage action figures. I shared this vid so she can try her hand at making these chucks too! Thanks!!

[@MonsterHobbieShow]

I was literally going to ask you about restoring the robe for Ninjor, I have mine mostly untouched except for the robe and nun-chucks which are missing. Thank you!, and good timing :P

[@toypolloi]

Glad I could help!

[@freakshowfilmfestival3591]

There is fabric tape you can iron on.

[@grotgrusson5124]

If I am not misstaken, there actuall is a strip, almost like that double sided tape you used, that response to heat (a iron), and sorts of became a "glue stripe". Nice video as always.

[@toypolloi]

There are certainly other options. I just like to use what I have already if I can. And the tape worked great. Cheers

[@grotgrusson5124]

@@toypolloi I totally agree with you. It's better to use the stuff you have around you than invent the wheel again. Esp if the results will came out the same. 🙂

[@Akondom]

I have every vintage heman figure loose complete, if you ever need measurements I'd be happy to help

[@toypolloi]

Thanks!

[@MasatoKay]

I keep playing the music when I repair stuff, but my hands never move as fast as yours.

[@brianm6337]

There is fabric glue. As Mrs Toy Polloi about it.

[@samuelwilliams8575]

I ordered some of that lego chain to fix the nunchucks on my panthro figure, but it was too chunky 😢

[@tomleech9753]

So rather than double sided tape, have you considered "Hem Adhesive"? I'm actually surprised you don't use it for a lot of things. It's a thin hot melt fabric sizing, real cheap, I'd recommend it.

[@toypolloi]

I use what I have to had. If it works it works for me.

[@tomleech9753]

@@toypolloi Oh absolutely, and that's how I roll too. :) Just thought I'd mention a great product to check out.

[@paulsenior33]

It’s called wonder web. My mother used it mine and my brothers’ school trousers when were kids.

[@tomleech9753]

@@paulsenior33 It's got a number of names. I know it under the "Stitch Witchery" brand. Great stuff.

[@zachary_attackery]

I bought an original Ninjor robe for my figure yearss ago and ended up cutting it in half when I cut the envelope open that it was mailed in

[@toypolloi]

Ouch. Bet you haven't opened a letter the same since.

[@larrychilders6599]

This is the Weirdest Power Ranger Restoration

[@Theopheus]

I know you've done hundreds of leg changes, but I still can't help (after watching you do it several times) but think that using a metal screw driver is a good way to tear the rubber. I feel like you should be using like a wood chopstick, or a plastic device.

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Great video! Thank you! A few years back, I asked about the possibility of a how-to for reproducing Scare Glow's cape, but you said you needed a sample to work from to make a pattern. Unfortunately, I don't have a Vintage Scare Glow any more, but some patterns have shown up online, and I've sussed out through trial-and-error that the main portion of his cape is made from a fabric that can be found online as "chiffon fabric stretch material," in purple, while his collar appears to be made from the same pseudo-velvety fabric (in purple) as Prince Adam's vest. Is that any help?

[@sjvideo]

Hi, do you have any videos on repairing the waist springs? I want to see it done before I attempt it.

[@toypolloi]

It's not easy at all and causes more damage than you fix so I haven't showed the process. Cheers

[@mgs6490]

Great job. What do you typically do with the finished figure that was sent in? Also, what type of paper do you use for the stickers? I have some vintage vehicles that could use some new ones

[@toypolloi]

Thanks. I try to keep as much as I can. Some I give away to friends or people I know will appreciate it if I don't have space for it myself. Cheers

[@renebonilla1397]

Nice job. Where can I find the robe fabric, the tape used on the robe and also the paper to print the sticker?

[@toypolloi]

Thanks. The looped fleece comes from Aliexpress, the tape is just normal double sided tape. The fabric printer paper came from ebay. Cheers

[@retrouniverse2.0]

I'm not a fan of the rubber replacement bands, I find they stretch out too much. I'd rather use a 3D printed one

[@toypolloi]

I've used both and find they work pretty much the same. Just use which you prefer.

[@ste5f]

Another great video. Keep em coming. However, do you really have to use that annoying music with the high pitched voice😂

[@ras79r]

Please make more videos I like your videos
