Vintage MOTU Battle Ram restoration + Custom Sky Sled - Toy Polloi
Просмотров 8 тыс.19 дней назад
Time to get He-Mans Battle Ram up and running. This one suffers with a few issues including missing stickers and a faulty missile launcher all of which can be fixed. But why stop there, the Sky Sled is the best part of this toy so I thought it would be fun to make Skeletor his very own version, otherwise known as the War Sled. With some new custom stickers, and also an nifty engine piece that s...

I've been wanting to do this project for many years but didn't have the skills to get it finished.

Pretty cool.
Great to see playsets like this.
Didn't know that existed! That's so cool!
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 🖖
A lot of money for cardboard, stickers and some very thin vac formed plastic 🤔
These playsets are friggin awesome! 💯😎
I'd like to see a Kenobi series Laser CheckPoint bunker playset. LCPB for short. If done right it could have a lot of play value and collectability.
Do they have the old batman batcave set from 1989?
This video basically sums up the problems with the RED line. From what I’ve heard the QC in the RED line has been janky for most buyers. Good idea, but crummy execution. Along with some weird design choices. Like how the figures based on the Prime series weirdly having single jointed limbs at times. From what I’ve heard figures of that scale, 6 inches, are usually made with plastics that’s a bit flexible. It’s apparently there to prevent easy breakage. Like the Star Wars Black Series, GI Joe Classified & Power Rangers Lightning Collection lines. I get why, but it can result in problems like warped limbs & accessories depending on how they are packed. From what I’ve seen so far the figures in current main Transformers toy lines, Legacy, use pretty solid plastics most of the time. They may have the few QC issues, but at least they ain’t gummy most of the time.
Great restoration!
Thank you very much!
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 👍🏽
These play sets are a brilliant idea.
Yes, great idea to have the emperor standing up. Thanks Dave.
You are very welcome
Always the BEST videos TP!
Glad you like them!
"Something, something, something, Dark Side..." If you know, you know. 😀
I may need to invest in one
Yeah, the child is a little more "disinterested" than they were on the original boxes. Not a bad thing, the kids on the original boxes were so over-the-top gleeful you'd think they had found Captain Kidd's buried treasure. The subdued look here is more realistic.
That lad is my son, and I can confirm that unless he’s playing with his Ben 10 toys he’s not bothered. Lee (Paleetoys)
Hey Dave in your opinion which playset is better? This one or the Jazzwares one?
The one set you could've used the Imperial Dignitary in and you didn't?? 😁
Awesome 🤩
And 1st place goes to Pallet Toys. While I have liked all of these play sets. This one in my opinion is top notch.I Love the throne design. I will definitely be purchasing one of these. I was thinking while watching this video though. If they had made the bases of all three sets the same as this one in shape. We could sort of like them up together back to back so to speak and made a bit of a complete death star play set. Then the print on the backs could have been like the hallways and obviously the main rooms would be what they are. Maybe something for them to think on in the future. That way you could display them on their own or as a collective set. Either way I love them. My hat goes off to the designer and maker of these. Thank you for the review Dave, and as always thank you for everything you do.
Thanks man. Really kind words and some good ideas. Lee (Paleetoys)
Great looking set, but I'm surprised that he gets away using the Star Wars and Return of the Jedi branding. Lucasfilm was always sue-happy and The Mouse makes old Lucasfilm look like they were giving their stuff away...
Maybe if Paleetoy were to recreate the original Palitoy Death Star play set he’d be onto a real winner !!
I'd like to get this for my Vintage Collection display. Namely how amazing it looks and just swap the throne with the Vintage one and it would still work. Probably so much better than an overpriced Hasbro one.
That is fabulous!.....also love the "ages 40 and up" in the box top right corner!😃
But do they make display cases for the display cases? You know...so the display case doesn't get dusty.
'Ages 40 and up' on the box. Classic 😂
Amazing display piece. These are all incredible. I wish there was a way to combine them into a half sphere
Cheers Dave. Great review, glad you like it. Lee (Paleetoys)
I wonder If this would fit into the Palitoy Deathstar’s hanger bay?
Impressive, most impressive ! thanks for taking me back in time to the mid seventies and beyond. I recall spending many a Boxingday applying stickers to the playsets of my sons Xmas presents, DAD why are you washing the parts? to make sure the stickers stay on and they did and are still there. We were lucky in Canada Sears Canada bought over the Palitoy sets and sold them as Sears items. Great Memories and fond times, on a personal note I now look more like Obi Wan Kenobi :o)
I love how it seems that Vader stabs Lukes head on the box art 😄
That throne is an ingenious idea, enough space to stand the emperor there and it looks like he's sitting what with his long robes. Much better than most sitting options for those lovely SW figures in the different vehicles.
Very nice, he might do well just selling the throne on its own, I hope he does a new version of the Cantina, the original is hard to get and very expensive and Hasbro Pulse one is massive and very expensive, the more basic Cardboard one is more appealing to me.
I might give it a go. Lee
I had that set when I was little and sold it some years ago. It was like these basic but still lots of fun.
did u repair them all or u still have more?
any more masters of the universe figures to repair
Thanks for review, always appreciate your nice videos! Would have loved to have that set as a kid!
Any time!
It certainly evokes the cost-cutting aesthetic of Palitoy, but it's not something that I'm a fan of. PersonallyI'd like to see Stan Solo have a go at this.
Wait... Luke is Darth Vader's son??? Way to spoil the movie for us, Paleetoy! :D
Ruined! *shakes fist*
What?? I didn't watch the video yet. Thanks for spoiling the movie GloopTrekker! 😜
Ruined! *shakes fist*
Bought mine from the entertainer and it also has issues with the legs being loose, the little door on the front is fine and it was advertised as having a swiveling torso but upon twisting it lightly once, the entire figure snapped in half, bit of a waste of money even if it WAS reduced as part of the 40 year anniversary
There certainly are some quality issues with this toy.
For some reason, watching you repair old vintage Kenner toys is relaxing and inspiring to me at the same time! Just love these videos! Thank you man!
Wow, thanks!
Cable tie is a great idea, the buckle part of it you could pretend it’s a little ammo/utility pocket especially possibly paint some detail on it to add a texture illusion
😂 I Love this❤ You are so 🎉
another banger right here been watching since i was a kid literally
Warning this video contains scenes of lego destruction
I have the middle guy, when I got him he didn't have his weapon
I will use lego destruction
Hello :-) I have bought the Edding pens, but the color don't get dry. I have waited 5 hours but the color was still wet. What went wrong? Do you have an idea?
Hi, not really. Did you shake them well? Maybe they changed the formula?
@@toypolloi Yes, I have shaked it very long. Maybe your are wright and they changed the formula. Thanks for your quick answer.
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
