@@toypolloi Probably not :) watching your video is like watching a magician. the first time i saw you open a snowspeeder or the falcon was just like magic and seeing you repair things that i thought irreparable is wonderful. I love your videos.
I've use this idea using plastic pieces to keep the toy child play safe for my grandchildren. Please keep giving us your fix videos, big or small. Many thanks to you Dave.
I can’t live without my pin vice now. Ever since I first saw you use one (I honestly didn’t even know they existed) it’s been my major go too now. You’re a total game changer for us collectors and we can’t thank you enough!
Nice. The same tools and methods my fellow Collectors and I use to repair and modify the 54mm toy soldiers that we collect. Its fun swapping out limbs, torso/ lower body, and heads among various figure to create new poses.
WOW…I’ve always attempted to use glue the broken pieces back together again! Looks like I’ll be headed to a Home Depot to purchase a pin vice! Awesome tutorial 👍🏽
My word dude. That last rebel rifle repair was just mind boggling. If you had used a smaller drill bit, you might've caused a nuclear explosion. That was borderline atomic. Bravo sir! 👍👍
Amazing repair! I don't know if I would've tried to repair any of them, especially that small rifle/strap break. But once again, you show us the near impossible can be done. Great video!
I bought a pin vice right after I saw you use yours! I cannot tell you how many times I have used it on projects and repairs. I even bought a second one to keep at work because sometimes I just need it there to fabricate test equipment. When I think of all the times I used glue during the 1970’s to repair toys and they broke again and it just resulted in more glue… or sellotape to hold stuff together. Now I’m using metal pins or plastic welding to repair whatever I can.
Highly recommend using a Tpin to mark where your drill holes will be, that way it would help stop your drill from walking when using it. that is how i end up doing all my pinning for hobby work for miniatures.
Great video! Here's a tip, heat up a needle and make a small heated indent to make a good starting point for your drill. ;-) This will give you more control over the start of your drill process.
I had a fairly large transformers sword that broke years I go I fixed with something called "the last glue" and thankfully it's held for all these years but if I never need to fix it again I am doing this. Never thought of using a staple or paperclip.
The small weapon repair was definitely impressive. Have you ever successfully repaired the small guard piece on the handle of he-man/skeletor swords? Curious if there's a method that actually works, because I've failed every time. Thanks, Dave!
The smaller the part the trickier it is. He-man's sword has an extra issue that it gets bent and stretched by the hand so I don't think a fix like this would be strong enough. I'll have to have a think.
Phenomenal question. I have the same problem with a few of mine. As I'm sure many of us do. Never even thought to ask this. Absolutely great video possibility.
I’m on the sight where happened and Im stepping over to person who seen the whole thing ,So in your own words tell us what u witnessed, Yeah it was incredible this man swooped in and repaired many vintage toys of all sorts, That’s incredible, That’s what I said ,Ok then what happen next ,Well just as quick as he showed up and fixed them toys I mean in a flash that sucker was gone ,There u have it this mystery man that pp know him as TOY POLLOI rescued broken toys from land fill once again.
Hey Dave i have 2 Ewoks the have no weapons the Vintage Kenner Wicket has no spear an the other Ewok Chief Chripa misses his Staff have you an idea how i can recreat that spear from Wicket and the staff from Vintage Chief Chripa ? P.S. Nice repair again.
These accessories were never designed to last this long. What a fantastic way to keep them alive. Great work as usual 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Im both chuffed and sad that new repair videos of vintage star wars might be nearing the finale but then this appeared. Brilliant
I don't think I've repaired every star wars toy yet? So there are still plenty more to come along with many other toy lines 😁

Thanks. Glad you are enjoying watching. It's always fun to look inside a toy to see how it works.
A good way to make sure you center the hole on uneven breaks is to heat up the point of a needle and use it to mark where the hole needs to be

Same, same. They are worth their weight in gold for toy repair, and many other things as well.
Hey Dave
I enjoyed the fix and your editing for the intro etc...
A very Happy Weekend to you and MrsTP.
Take care of One Another😊
Excellent job Dave. Always impressed with your drill skills. It takes a steady hand 😂
Nice. The same tools and methods my fellow Collectors and I use to repair and modify the 54mm toy soldiers that we collect. Its fun swapping out limbs, torso/ lower body, and heads among various figure to create new poses.
Very satisfying to see those weapons back in action! I always know I'm in for a treat when I see your Black Hole intro!
Great work Dave, accessories saved from the parts bin!
Always nice when you can save something, even when it's so tiny.
Tedious but effective. Great repairs, Dave!
I find it quite relaxing mending things like this. You can just switch off.
Great, I just LOVE toy repairs, you make these weapons look like new again!
These weapons look great!
Thanks for sharing another fix with us!
My pleasure

Takes a steady hand. I might be good at bomb disposal? 🤣
Thanks for sharing Dave. I've used your technique before and it works wonders.
Beautiful work! Always enjoy these repair videos!
Thank you very much!
Looks great Dave

If it's broken, what's the worst that can happen. That is how I look at it. Cheers

That's a novel and upbeat way of looking at things. Thanks for the encouragement.

Great work Dave!!!👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
J'utilise les trombones depuis des années, mais l'agrafe jamais pensée pourtant c'est logique.
Merci comme toujours 💪
That’s some serious glue control.
Well done!
I used your method to repair ev9d9s arm. Worked a treat ta! ❤
Great to hear!

Or just use a small drill bit to start. I've never liked heating a pin and melting something. Far to many risks.
Pure magic❤

"Joshua, what are you doing?"
amazing work ! do you think you could do a custom lando cape for ESB 1980s figure i’ve been wondering if it can be done instead of that vinyl “cape”

I have the middle guy, when I got him he didn't have his weapon
Wasn’t this the perfect job for your new Tamiya drill?
No, you get much more precision with a pin vice which is what you need when drilling very tiny accurate holes. The drill will be used another time 🖖
EXTREMELY SMALL HOLES! (Nano sized)
Very!
You didnt use your new drill! 😎
That's the wrong tool for this job. A pin vice gives you much more fine control.
@@toypolloi 😎💯👍
What size drill bit do you use for repairs I.e GIJoes Star Wars
It depends on what I am fixing. There is no one size fits all. Pick the size that suits the job.
@@toypolloi thank you Dave cheers

There are plenty or replacements available and all pretty cheap. I would just get some of those. Cheers
@@toypolloi thanks Dave
