    Just a quick 'thank you' to Mr. Polloi: I just restored a vintage AT-ST and this video was extremely helpful - particularly the advice regarding the correct positioning of pieces during reassembly.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't separate the 'head' section (as I really felt the plastic would crack), but it still came out looking terrific after the peroxide bath. Incidentally, I'm quite amazed at how long you submerge your items in the hydrogen peroxide, as in my part of the world (on a sunny summer's day, in direct unfiltered sunlight) the change happens in mere hours. I also use the commercially available 6% HP solution in a covered plastic tub, but I'm guessing the heat of the sun here contributes markedly to the process. I imagine in Merry OId England the sun has to be coaxed from behind the clouds at most times during the year (!), hence the much longer bathing time.
    Anyway, many thanks for this video and your channel which, along with Retroblasting, is providing some of the very best vintage toy content on the Internet. :)

    The AT ST was the first 'big' Star Wars toy I ever got as a kid after previously just getting a few figures, so it probably would've been around Christmas '84. So many happy memories of playing with it back then. Seeing this restoration brings joy to my heart.

    Perfect breakdown - I bought a spring kit off of ebay after acquiring a walker with a wonky leg twitch - tore it down and put it back together and the leg was still jackknifing while the other wasn't doing anything. After watching this video, I realized the axels must not have been synced with the button mechanism via the that weird H piece. Pulled it back apart and rebuilt it exactly as instructed and sure enough, works like a charm, even stands on its own after heating the legs from one of your previous videos. Thank you! Cheers from across the pond.

    Instead of soaking the items in a bin, you can also soak them in a sealed zip-loc plastic bag. This saves space too!

    Another fine restoration and what a result!
    I’ve never seen the appeal of certain toys, but to see them restored is marvellous. The hints, tips and inside bits and bobs (thank you LEGO) go a long way to making these toys presentable again.
    I’ve just claimed my Action Man boxes from Mum’s attic and I hope to go through them to see what can be given the Toy Polloi TLC effect.

    Hi. Thanks for all your great content. I've successfully brought my beloved AT-AT and Sl*ve 1 back to life. Great results and the de-yellowing was an absolute beauty. I'm about to start on the Falcon and have run into the issue of not being able to fit it fully in my peroxide tub used for previous projects. Have you noticed bad streaks or imbalances when 'turning' vehicle parts in the peroxide? I'd prefer to submerge the entire pieces, but maybe dipping them half in at a time will be OK? Thanks again and loving these projects 👍👍

    I've heard that one way you can also bleach discoloured plastic rather than submerge it is that you suspend it above the solution inside the tub so it's whitened by the vapours instead and that should theoretically provide a more even way of de-yellowing.

      vivamorrissey1 You just need to carefully click each of the clips out of the way and it will pop off. It takes a bit of practice. But it can be done. Try putting it in boiling water first to soften the plastic so it doesn't snap.

    I know it's been awhile that this video has been up, but I just got into restoring my old Star Wars toys. I used this video to walk through the disassembly/assembly of the walker. I had a slight problem come up on mine - when I reattached the head/cockpit to the body, the head spins quite freely now and there is no friction like before. I had to pry back on the tabs around the base of the head piece to get it to come loose. I am thinking that those tabs aren't closed up like they used be. Can you think of a way to tighten those back up? I was thinkin of wrapping something around the tabs like a cable tie or even a small piece of wire around it to try and squeeze those tabs together. Your thoughts??

    • @toypolloi
      @toypolloi  2 роки тому

    Hi, Love the vids, loads of great advice. I see lots of items like this at boot fairs but most are badly scratched from rough play or being thrown down the garden path. This puts me of buying them. Any suggestions on how to remove deep scratches and scored areas (Particularly on raised edges and corners) or am I right to just leave them on the stall.
    Thanks
    Rob

      I’d still buy them if they were good value. Nothing wrong with some playwear on a toy.
      You can probably improve the scratches with a very fine grit sand paper, wet and dry stuff. Depends where the scratches are. Or just appreciate them for what they are. Wabi sabi toy collecting.

    Great video. How did you remove the head part, you don't show that and I'm having trouble getting it off. Cheers

      Carefully. Use a screwdriver to work around the clips one at a time. You may break a couple, don't worry. Just go slow.

    Hello. I have an old Kenner AT-ST, it is in very good condition but, it is a bit crooked, like the one in the video. I've watched the video several times and I can't understand how have you fixed that problem. Could you tell me how did you made it? Thank you!

    • @toypolloi
      @toypolloi  9 років тому

      Generally they just need all the screws tightening up. And make sure the spring is pushing hard enough.

    I know old video. Any advice on how I can restore the look of my 2004 R2D2 his body is yellowed. It's the one that has a button and beeps and the red light comes on, so it's got electronics inside and submersing any kind of liquid all over it would damage it.

      If it has really complicated legs, then that is from a modern line and known to break really easily. I have fixed one. But you need all the broken parts to do this.
