Just the push I needed to rehab the talking astronaut I got a few months ago. He sounds similar to yours in the beginning.

[@ToyTinkerTim]

Cool! I hope this works out for you, maybe someday I'll get one of the astronaut figures too. I'd like to hear one of those

[@user-dm4qz3bq9f]

[@chrisspain6023]

Awesome!

Hey. Nice repair. I still have all my action men from the seventies... Still collecting &repao.

[@deredelmann3659]

Awesome video Tim. Interested in the flocking material. I'll take a look at your static flocking tool video.

[@JohnWatsonPuppetChannel]

You really got some talent to restore this action figure. Great job.

[@ToyTinkerTim]

Thank you so much 😀

[@camojoe2]

Great repair Tim!
I've done a few of these over the years.
A talking Marine is giving me fits right now.
Something I do with mine is to take a Qtip and rubbing alcohol, and clean the voice tape and recoil spring.
I also give the needle the once over, and replace it with a 78 RPM record needle if needed.
This is info that you probably already know.
Regards,
Duck

Thanks for checking out this episode. I've been checking out some of the earlier 60's Joe's lately. The rubbing alcohol is definitely something I've used as well. I'll have to keep in mind the 78 needle substitute, that's a great idea!

[@georgemartinezjr]

I use loctites vinyl plastic and Fabric Adgesive for reflocking

[@mick_c_horror_and_pop_culture]

Thank you for this video. I've been wanting to repair my Joe and this video helped.

[@ToyTinkerTim]

Good to hear, hope you get some great results 👍

[@johngeraci3887]

Excellent video & job

[@ToyTinkerTim]

Thanks John!

Thanks Robert 👍

Plastic weld. It only needs about 5 minutes and it's a solid fix 👌

[@ospuluquesa6083]

parabéns ficou novo de novo

[@user-wu5yu7by4b]

Thanks for the video..very informative. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix the broken peg on the inside lower torso that holds the elastic leg cord in place? This cord wraps over the peg to keep the legs tight. I guess over the years the tension of the cord pulling on the peg has broken it. Any tips would be helpful. Thank you.

[@ToyTinkerTim]

Thanks for watching, and yes I know that pin-like piece that the elastic loops over for the legs. You could try eBay for loose parts to use and replace the elastic strap on the legs, otherwise, maybe a plastic dowel piece glued in to replace the broken section in there?

[@secretmission204]

Tim, outstanding work! Do you have any suggestions for repairing a talker box with a non-retracting recoil spring? The voice pull string is fully extended and won't retract, and I can't figure out a fix. Thanks!

[@ToyTinkerTim]

Thanks for watching! I've not experienced this personally but I've heard of it happening. Try this link to see if it can help walk you through your situation:

Cy Girls aurora action figur 👍

[@christopherroberts4661]

I have a talking Action soldier of the world who's voice is extremely garbled. I was wondering if the talking mechanism is the same as the 70s figures?

[@ToyTinkerTim]

I'm not sure what mechanism was inside those figures, the 60's and 70's voice mechanism I believe were similar however.

[@andy-in-indy]

I have a talk box with some gunk on the recording tape. What would you recommend to clean that off? I have been holding off out of fear of damaging the recording. . .

[@ToyTinkerTim]

See if this helps you with what you're describing, gunk on the recorded tape area: ua-cam.com/video/cGd2KWZzkUc/v-deo.html
I used rubbing alcohol

[@andy-in-indy]

@@ToyTinkerTim Thanks! I must have either missed or not remembered that video😱

[@melvinch]

Why was it called Action Man in Asia market instead ?
