[@GamerWho]

Glad you were able to take these broken wings and learn to fly again, learn to live so free.

[@VirginiaTombstoneRevival]

GamerWho I see what you did there,Mister...Mister.

[@JahnoKestt]

There's nothing like starting the day off with Toy Polloi.

[@toypolloi]

Ha ha. Makes friday worth waiting for I hope! Have a great weekend!

[@davidowen2923]

I always look forward to a new video

[@JahnoKestt]

You too!

[@toypolloi]

As the Toy Jesus website now appears to have gone completely. I have added the sticker sheet to toypolloi.com

[@mistermatix8241]

That is an ingenious repair! Absolutely brilliant! I had a Wind Raider as a kid, and I remember the wings were such a weak point, I lost count of the amount of times it got glued, but a fun toy (as with all MOTU toys). You never fail to impress. Great job

[@changmark]

Brilliant. Watching this repair was so satisfying.

[@TheToyBoy1978]

Nice fix Dave! Definitely agree not trying to open up the body, better to have a displayable piece that doesn't work, than have an undisplayble piece that does!

[@TheSkullReviews]

Excellent fix on those wings, looks like a good color match and a strong fix.

[@gamerid6507]

nice restoration as always, man at arms is now more happy

[@jamesberryjr5300]

You are absolutely a toy genius. Oh how I enjoy your videos. Especially the repair videos.

[@paulb3476]

Now its been many years since I've seen my windraider, (it's still in my mom's attic) but I remember that skull/head piece popping off mine pretty easily. Mine also has a broken anchor rope.

[@RedSoxKal]

Omg this video came in the right time. I have 2 broken wind raiders. I shall fix them right away. Thanks a lot.

[@chrismayer3919]

You are INCREDIBLE!!!

[@CoyPowers]

I watched this video when it was new, and was very excited to try this repair, but life got in the way. I've only JUST finished it today, and it looks amazing. Thank you so much for this, my busted old Wind Raider is sky worthy (and display worthy) thanks to you!

[@jacenstarheart6256]

It really breaks the Heart to see a broken Toy, but thank the Toy Maker we have you to give us hope in restoring our Toy imaginations.. 👍👍

[@vagtav310]

Nice and like a pro!! If you ever come up to a thundercats lair playset, I would be glad to see a restoration to this fragile beauty.

[@michaelharms8899]

Thank you for your great show. Recently I have found a way to get a new cord to the winch. You need a bended wire to glue the cord to the outside of the reel. If you look inside the Wind Raider you can see the reel (white) with a circumferential notch. This is the place were you have to glue the cord. The if the glue bonds wind the cord 1 1/1 times.

[@monarchmotionmedia1944]

Just found my MOTU vintage toys in storage. Thinking I might just fix my wind raider! And Skeletor's legs lol. Great channel! Keep them coming.

[@davidwilkinson9950]

You sir, just blowed my mind !

[@contactlight8079]

As always, excellent work Dave. Thanks for sharing.

[@shermaneagles5903]

Really nice work fixing that toy it looks amazing.

[@steven224bond]

Thanks for all the hard work you put into making these videos. I look forward for them all the time. Will we ever get to see the toy polloi collection and display.

[@fasspot]

Great video!! Now I want to buy only broken toys....and save lot of money!! Haha :D

[@bgddyphil]

Your videos give me the confidence to try brand new things with my toys... excellent as always

[@Bernhard2024]

Absolutley amazing what you are able to do. For Eternia!

[@HusseinMadiiqSmol]

found your channel the other day while cleaning some motu figures and i have been binge watching your vids! love the motu restoration videos.

[@RussianNightmare]

Bravo! Great fix, Dave!

[@BanthaPooDoo64]

you are my ideal man to go to for toy repair ideas Thanks!

[@eltenda]

Cool project!

[@danc6524]

YES! thank you very much, i was about asking you to fix this motu toy, thank you very very much

[@dgenergene4418]

If your any good at paint detailing maybe you should try painting and detailing the wind- Radier?

[@greenlanternhg5141]

If I still had my Wind Raider I would’ve been able to fix it 😮

[@javiercoliboro]

gracias polloi ahora ya se que hacer con el ancla...te citare en mi video saludos jaime de argentina.

[@thegreatowl5282]

Awesome!

[@novax-ig9yt]

Very interesting solution!

[@Portal2099]

Nice restoration. The wings on mine from when I was a kid, the wing itself cracked rather than the pegs , so I'm not sure how to fix that. Also I was thinking that instead of attaching the hook to the skull piece, would it work to maybe glue the string onto the front wheel and as it rotates it winds it back up around the spoke. Just a thought. Awesome vid!

[@brennonr]

excellent work!

[@vengeance1701]

Also, unless your screws are cheap (as he calls them in the comments section here), you might want to consider some grub screws instead. They come with no head.

[@fernandobuldo4468]

Muy bueno el video. Donde consigues esas piezas para hacer el repuesto? Digo.... los palitos naranjas.... GRACIAS muy buen video

[@toypolloi]

K'nex rods. Normally a few sellers on ebay have them. Cheers

[@DaftDude]

Love the content you're making. Keep it up.

[@toypolloi]

Thanks!

[@MrLowdog5]

Hi, Toy Poiloi.......I was wondering, is there a video of all of your restorations? I would love to see it....Thank you...and Great work....

[@toypolloi]

Hey, Not so far. A lot of what I have restored I don't own anymore as I sell them on for charity. I only keep the odd bits.

[@MrLowdog5]

Oh...ok.....I didn't know you did that.......That's awesome.......I restore Hot Wheel Vintage Redline cars from 1968.....watching your videos are remarkable.....how your able to put them back together.....GREAT JOB...keep up the Awesome work.....

[@mikeyjayes]

Hi Toy Polloi! Thanks for the awesome videos! A question: do you have a fix for the cracked wind raider wings? These often crack over time on the leading edge in the middle of the wing. Thanks!!

[@peterparker6584]

While I think of it do you have any body parts arms and legs specifically for African-American colored Migo figures I've got a Planet of the Apes figure where the body I forget if it's wonderful arms and one leg is broken I've got the outfit in mint condition and been trying to find a couple arms and legs. I'm also looking for a leg for a 12-in Migo. Thought I'd see if you had any of that stuff in your parts been.

[@reskinasrulloh7393]

nice

[@giantguy1321]

I would have cut the rod to size, made the holes on the Wing raider slightly larger and passed the rod through the body of the vehicle to connect the wings. However (like you said) this works fine for display.

[@juanfranciscoquillupanguij1572]

Porfavor me pueden decir q utilizo para reparar las alas de win Raider como se llama ese material xfavor quiero arreglar el mio gracias

[@mbastian3568]

My hook/anchor doesnt wind up... do you have a video on how to fix that?

Where can i get those rods? What are they usually used for? I love your videos, really helps a lot so thank you Sir.

Knex rods. You can get them on eBay easy enough. Cheers

[@RahulMahale17]

The toyjesus website seems to be down. I hope it is temporary. Are there any alternatives? Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks.

[@toypolloi]

Hi, I don't if it is down for a while I will see about adding the scan for the wind raider to Toypolloi.com

[@Sheik__Yerbouti]

Please, please, please invest in a clamp. I had visions of that drill going into your hand 🙈

[@Noldu5]

Nice fix dude. Do you have a link to where i can get those plastic rods?? Cant find them anywhere

[@toypolloi]

Ebay, loads of sellers. K'nex rods. Cheers

[@vengeance1701]

On my Wind Raider, some genius had managed to insert a screw from the inside of the damn thing and screwed it into the wing.

[@hughragsdale7351]

👏👏👏

[@ethrieltd]

Is that a weak screw or strong pliers? The last screw I had to cut was problematic. I had to call forth the power of ten tigers...

[@toypolloi]

Or, am I just really strong :D It was a very cheap box of screws. Useful to have for jobs likes this.

[@BSnags]

Any tips for cleaning a really messy and sticky mossman?

[@toypolloi]

Wash it in hot soapy water and use a toothbrush to remove anything stuck in the flock.

[@BSnags]

Toy Polloi thank you!

[@herbie747]

Hey Dave - got a link to those exact KNEX rods? The colours on eBay seem to look off, but it may just be the photos. Don't want to risk getting the wrong shade.

[@toypolloi]

They only seem to produce one orange rod, so they must be the ones. Each length of rod is a different colour. Grey ones are the longest.

[@toypolloi]

128mm orange rods are what you need.

[@eduardorosa5161]

Hi David. I just found this vídeo and I have 3 Wind Raiders with this problem. I have a doubt, I`m portuguese and I have tried to found thoose connects rods but I cannot found any match in portuguese for them...Can you give me a hand on it? What are exactly thoose Connect rods and what real use they had? Any clue to see if I can found it here in Portugal would be great. Thank you since now for any help and please, keep up this vídeos, they`re the best I have seen in this area of colecting!

[@toypolloi]

Search on eBay for knex rods. They are from a toy line called k'nex. Hope that helps.

[@DudleyMod]

Hey Dave, I know on other vids you posted that you are into Action Man. Any chance of seeing a restoration of one of the old vintage Action Man vehicles, say the Chieftan Tank for example ??

[@toypolloi]

I don't own any action man vehicles mainly due to space. But I would love to do some work on them. Ill have to have a clear out first.

[@Mono_Jungla]

Would have loved to have some of your tips , when I broke my brothers prince Adams rubber band right out of the box .

[@brianstevenson2249]

What specific model printer do you have . Awesome work as usual sir!

[@toypolloi]

It's a fairly cheap Epson Pixma printer. Inkjet. It's not amazing, but works perfectly well for stickers.

[@MrRtgeorge]

The main part that the anchor string attached to can be removed just by pulling it up

[@toypolloi]

Yeah, it comes off, but no access to the string attachment. Shame you can't easily get in there.

[@rackzack]

cant find the rods anywhere any tips on how to find them? are they called "connect rods"?

hello.. love your videos and as a recent MOTU fan looking forward on refurbishing. the repair that you do on the wing was on the connecting peg, but im seeing a lot of wind raiders on ebay that the wing is broken on the spine further down the peg ...something like i.ebayimg.com/images/g/fzwAAOSw9SFbb7oD/s-l1600.jpg . what can you suggest to repair it? thanks

[@toypolloi]

All you can do with that is try and glue it back together. I've not seen one like that before.
