Wes has got this spot on… great fix for a super common issue!! I’m one of the lucky ones to own an undamaged one…. But as you say there getting harder to find and more likely to break as they get older….. you are a toy repair genius my friend👍👍
@@toypolloidude I have a weird skeletor variant I can't find any info on, he's got different feet and he's much darker paint colors. Ever heard of it? Love the videos as always!
@toypolloi I actually just did some more digging because of this and turns out it's a Chinese variant! His Armor and weapons are almost black, super cool. Thanks for the reply
@TandLtoys man I have to give up on origins, they have made SO MANY. The beauty of the vintage line is after the 80 or so figures I am DONE lol. They are great looking figures though!
Wow absolutely fantastic, not many people could of done that, a superb fix, so much patience and talent and precision 😮😮☠️ 💀 and I've never known anyone to have so many Skeletors 😂😂
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.
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.
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!
Thanks! If I had 'found' it in a forest the video would be getting views in the millions 🤣 Sadly for me I will be happy with a few thousand views like normal 🤷♂️
Spot on fix that, well impressed. Great way to display your Skelly army too. I've got one in similar condition. Maybe I could fix it and load it up with my army of stinkors. I've used plastic weld and plastic shavings to gap fill bits off Motu figures in the past. Usually on custom figures when I need to split the torso and cracks happen.
I would love to see a white battle bones. Really white, instead of the yellowish. Would look awesome I bet. Maybe some cracks here and there with some shading. Man, I wish I was good at this stuff.
I like that shaving-weld version of sprue-gue. Mmh. Looking at how well this turned out, I might actually have to looking for my very own Battle Bones to get and repair.
Awesome repair, once again. I would not have thought using the shavings, I would have used Superglue and Baking soda. This would require more sanding and work.
Bravo, Dave! Another great repair and not a single 3d printed part in the vicinity either lol. As someone who both collects action figures and works with miniatures I have a fair bit of experience with making materials that don't like each other work together somehow by now, so I thought maybe I'd leave this here for anyone who's interested. I'm fairly sure you've covered this in other videos but pinning or using tiny screws as anchors is always a good option too if possible, or scoring both surfaces that you're going to use superglue on given that unlike plastic weld it's not making the same type of bond, so the rough surface helps with that, and related to superglue also using baking soda as a gap filler can sometimes be useful, even though it can leave a bit of a texture or change colour over time if it isn't sanded and painted over, but it also helps with potentially brittle superglue attach points. Keep up the good work, cheers!
Amazing fix Dave, you're probably the only person out there atm with a complete battle bones due to this fix. You make what seems the impossible, very do-able. I just love to see an old broken toy reinstated to its original condition.
Another great fix, happy to see this! I actually had another way of doing it in my mind, by building an extra part or support on the backside, underneath the structure however that might not have been the best way of doing it or be without it´s flaws. This is what i love about these fixing videos, the many different ways and solutions to a problem, some better then others, some just as good or even better. Keep on fixing and finding good solutions! Keep up the great work!
Greetings. My name is Craig Hockley, I hope you can help me. My son has a very limited edition Disney Infinity Peter Pan and our puppy has chewed the head area and also chewed off the little red feather that should be attached to the head. This is a prize possession for my Son we great personal value to him. I have photos of the damage but more than happy to send more over if needed. Please can you review this and let me know if you can repair this or know of anyone or organisation that could help me? Regards, Craig Hockley.
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!
Glad you like it!

Love this one. Even back in the 80s/90s I saw only broken Battle Bones.
I honestly couldn’t tell it had been repaired at all. Brilliant!
Also, there aren’t many people who just happen to have twelve Skeletors to fill up their battle bones. I love it!
It can't just be me who has them to hand!
@@toypolloi I have eight I think, including Origins, Super7's Filmation version, and that's just 5.5" Skeletors
@@toypolloidude I have a weird skeletor variant I can't find any info on, he's got different feet and he's much darker paint colors. Ever heard of it? Love the videos as always!
There are lots of variants. Darker skin could be a hard head, or Leo version I believe?
@toypolloi I actually just did some more digging because of this and turns out it's a Chinese variant! His Armor and weapons are almost black, super cool. Thanks for the reply
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.
I have a fully intact Battle Bones, and I'm *terrified* to use it, as a result. I'm so scared that I'll break it when I try to put a figure in.
Don't be afraid I use mine for my origins figures
@@TandLtoys haha, alright, I'll be brave. It would give me a little more room on my shelves.
@TandLtoys man I have to give up on origins, they have made SO MANY. The beauty of the vintage line is after the 80 or so figures I am DONE lol. They are great looking figures though!
Wow absolutely fantastic, not many people could of done that, a superb fix, so much patience and talent and precision 😮😮☠️ 💀 and I've never known anyone to have so many Skeletors 😂😂
Thanks 👍 I have way to many Skeletors some would say 🤣
That plastic weld putty gap-filler was genius!

turning your shavings into a paste! WELL DONE!! that is awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Okay but a Battle Bones FULL OF SKELETORS is legit one of the coolest things I have ever seen!! 😲😃😃😍
🤣
Absolutely incredible repair Dave! I’ve often wondered how I would repair a battle bones. Now I know! Great video dude!
Thnaks!
Ylu fo a great job, enjoy watching you repair the toys from my childhood. Awesome.
Thank you 🤗
Hooray for the Skeletor double conga line 💀💙💜
Hell of a job, sir! That Faker arm on Skeletor was killing my OCD though. Hahaha.
seeing that many nude skeletors in the battle babystroller bones gave me immense joy
good to see another great fix

Ok - so great vid and a fantastic fix - looks great - elephant in the room question - how many Skeletor's does one man need - seriously !!!!!🤣
The answer is: all of them!
Thanks. I need more! Don't think I quite have enough yet.
I would have thought those were broken for good.
Great repair idea and execution!
Thanks! 👍
Wow! Great work yet again Dave. Brilliant thinking of using the Styrene sheet scrapings as an adhesive filler. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great fix, Dave! Imagine my surprise when you said THREE millimeter styrene, lol... Amazing color match, too!
I know! Who knew they made it in 3mm!
Spot on fix that, well impressed. Great way to display your Skelly army too. I've got one in similar condition. Maybe I could fix it and load it up with my army of stinkors. I've used plastic weld and plastic shavings to gap fill bits off Motu figures in the past. Usually on custom figures when I need to split the torso and cracks happen.
Thanks. They are a good way to hang figures on the wall. I will most likely do this with a few of my Skeletors now.
I would love to see a white battle bones. Really white, instead of the yellowish. Would look awesome I bet. Maybe some cracks here and there with some shading. Man, I wish I was good at this stuff.
I just started working with styrene. Thank you for your content and helpful tips.
My pleasure
Maybe a little bit of some red in the paint but as usual, a very top notch and smart repair!!!!😍
the bones get brittle with age, happens to the best of us
The wizard back at work allways amazing what you can do
Thanks. 🧙♂️
I like that shaving-weld version of sprue-gue.
Mmh. Looking at how well this turned out, I might actually have to looking for my very own Battle Bones to get and repair.
What a fantastic and floorless repair, well done 😊
Many thanks!
Hey Dave
Awesome fix. One might think Skeletor was your favourite figure....haha 😉
Take care of Yourself and Happy Weekend to you and MrsTP 😊
Thanks, you too!
Awesome repair, once again. I would not have thought using the shavings, I would have used Superglue and Baking soda. This would require more sanding and work.
Thanks 👍
Great job 👏🏻
Amazing stuff, love the Styro Plasti weld DIY filler will definitely be using that on my Gizmo barbie car luggage rack.
Very nice repair, great job, congratulations !
Thank you very much!
Absolute game-changer! Thank you!
You're welcome!
As always, great work! I like that you can pull out 12 skeletors just like that! :)
It's always good to have a dozen Skeletors to hand 🤣👍
Bravo, Dave!
Another great repair and not a single 3d printed part in the vicinity either lol.

Glad I could help!
Ya same!, This has to be one of your best fixes, this came out soo good! Kudos to you!
Thanks a lot!

Incredible!!
Great fix Dave, looks really good!
Thanks 👍
Don’t think the battle bones was ever designed to carry 12 skeletor’s! But damn did it look good. Great video as always. Keeping it awesome.👍👍👍
That is all it was designed to carry as far as I am concerned! 😎
Lol
Almost makes me want to get one! Nice
What a great repair!
Excellent 👌 😊
It is a joy to watch you repair the "unrepairable".
Thanks!
Freaking Awesome 👏 love it
That plastic weld method is brilliant! Thanks for another great video!!
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant! Thanks!😊
You're welcome!
Dave, you make it look so easy! Thanks.
I love your videos like this! Well done!
Thank you so much!
Can the real Skeletor please raise his hand? :)
I'm Skeleter 👋
@toypolloi 🤣 if you were the real one you'd call me a nincompoop.
Boob!
A man like this has a lot of Skeletors in his closet.
You have enough Skeletor's for Can Can stop action dance number in film.
I wonder if plastic epoxy would hold well.
Gotta love a bit of Sprue-Goo to fill in gaps.
I remember the first time i found out about that, it changed the miniatures hobby forever for me
It works great for certain projects like this. Especially when you have to make shavings in the first place. Cheers
Amazing repair 😮
Cada técnica incrível de restauração, a soldagem plástica nunca tinha visto antes. 👏
Muito Obrigado!
They look like they're doing the conga
Any thoughts on using just boiled water to soften the styrene instead of a heat gun? The heat gun I have is a bit to aggressive.
It doesn't get the styrene warm enough to bend. So a heat gun is needed. Cheers
Toy Polloi, singlehandedly jacking up the price of vintage Skeletors!😂
So does the mouth open to put a He-Man in?
I think you store the weapons and accessories in the mouth when you use it to carry your figures.
@@travisboyle285 but after that, it's for chomping on He-Man, right?
How do you fix the feet of your 🎬 Figures ???
What issue do you mean? Loose legs on MOTU? I replace the bands with new ones. Check out my video son that.
Hold it while wearing oven mitt
The 1960s just rang. They want their hot air gun back.
They can't have it 🤣
@@toypolloi 😂
Isn't a post-1994 2 pence piece 2.1mm?
