Holy smokes...you put the rotar blades in the wrong way...if the mechanism rotates clockwise...the rocket like tips should point in the same direction as the blades move with the black bits behind ...otherwise you have done it LOL
Is there an easy way to get that motor out without breaking the copter? I WD 40'd mine and the push bar is still catching on something inside the motor. Thanks.
Yes, you can take the helicopter apart at the clips that hold the 2 halfs together, take your time as the plastic is old and brittle, I was able to do it with my brothers a few years back.
Great job can't wait for the new decals I had 2 of these growing up one was the search for the stolen idol which came with the helicopter. Will watch part 2 tomorrow. Great job
TheSkullReviews You are quite welcome. You just maybe converting me, into becoming a 12" collector. I forgot just how cool they are. I mean what's a G.I. Joe collection without at least a few of the ones that kicked off the toy line?
Yeah man, their is something special about the classics, I really dig them, really like the flocked bearded guys from the 70's adventure team but they are tough to collect if you want a nice one, most of the flocked heads are beat up, but you can have them reflocked.
Looking good so far, looking forward to part 2! Funnily enough, i was thinking of reviewing my copter today but didn't have the time! Also looking forward to seeing more on your talking commander!
Yes, thats the one! Its the 1st vehicle i purchased when i got back into Action Man so ive had it 8 years now. I dusted it down last week, boy was coated in the stuff lol what i thought would be a 10 minute job ended up be 30+ you want to see it? Ok, i'll try to get it done today!
Awesome! I love the old gi joe toys ❤️
Those blades are working great and the Commander sounds the best I’ve heard!
Thanks very much, I get the blades moving better in part 2
i have the same helico hello from France !!!
Awesome, Hello from NEW YORK:)

@@TheSkullReviews Great, thank you!
Great job cleaning up Joe's chopper!!!
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching:)
I've used coconut oil to remove sticky stuff, sometime alcohol doesn't cut through sticky stuff. Then Dawn soap to remove the coconut oil.
Thanks very much for the tip:)
@hellion2k Thanks for the tip

Looks great the yellow colour is really nice.The uk version is green i guess which is cool aswell but brighter colours look nicer on display
Thanks very much for checking it out.
The helicopter is pretty cool. My brothers had it, I remembered it being a lot bigger, lol
Haha they all looked bigger when we were kids, thanks for checking it out:)

The polishing might come out better using a sponge instead of a rough paper towel.
Looks good though.
Good idea

I would like to see that, do you have the green action man version, that looks so cool!

That's so awesome, really looking forward to checking it out, you may have the only video on youtube on that piece, haven't came across any
I just ordered the Novus kit...I also have an AT yellow helicopter I need to redo, plus alot of other projects as well...
Good luck on your restoration, I also got the replacement stickers from Cotswold if you need those.
I have been wanting to pick up a that helicopter, but I have not found the deal I want yet lol.
Keep hunting, I have seen a few good deals pop up lately.
