Love this one. Even back in the 80s/90s I saw only broken Battle Bones.
-
I honestly couldnโt tell it had been repaired at all. Brilliant!
-
I got Battle Bones as a Christmas gift in 1985. i was so lucky. And I still have a BB in my collection in perfect shape.
-
Wow absolutely fantastic, not many people could of done that, a superb fix, so much patience and talent and precision ๐ฎ๐ฎโ ๏ธ ๐ and I've never known anyone to have so many Skeletors ๐๐
-
seeing that many nude skeletors in the battle babystroller bones gave me immense joy good to see another great fix
-
This is one of my favorites that you've done, Dave. Great fix for a super common issue. Off to find some broken battle bones!
-
That plastic weld putty gap-filler was genius!
-
turning your shavings into a paste! WELL DONE!! that is awesome!
-
Hell of a job, sir! That Faker arm on Skeletor was killing my OCD though. Hahaha.
-
Also, there arenโt many people who just happen to have twelve Skeletors to fill up their battle bones. I love it!
-
Ylu fo a great job, enjoy watching you repair the toys from my childhood. Awesome.
-
Masters of the Universe used ABS plastic, that's why MOTU playsets snap or develop cracks over time. Also it is very common to see 70s/80s Toys with thin shapes snap easily. This tutorial was great.
-
The wizard back at work allways amazing what you can do
-
I would have thought those were broken for good. Great repair idea and execution!
-
the bones get brittle with age, happens to the best of us
-
What a nostalgic flashback you gave me with this repair. Back in the early 1970s, before modeller's putty came along, mixing Polystyrene Cement with plastic shavings was the only way to fill-in seems and gaps on one's models. Thank goodness for modern equipment. Cheers. Such a fine job.
-
Okay but a Battle Bones FULL OF SKELETORS is legit one of the coolest things I have ever seen!! ๐ฒ๐๐๐
-
Hooray for the Skeletor double conga line ๐๐๐
-
This is possibly some of your best work. Some of the hardest repairs involve pieces that NEED to flex and need a sense of durability again, and you absolutely NAILED it. Although, since you didn't find the Battle Bones in the forest while you were walking (and filming) the credibility of this video is in question... lol Great vid as always!
-
Maybe a little bit of some red in the paint but as usual, a very top notch and smart repair!!!!๐
