Hello toy collector fans. Join me as I clean and attempt to restore my original childhood MOTU figures that were found in my parents loft/attic after 30+ years.
Excellent attic find / childhood MOTU restoration video, Stu. The figures certainly look better for their " bath time " and leg fix. Just need to find their bits and bobs and it will be a great job done. :)
Thank you Luke. To be fair I am fairly happy with how the restoration went. Definitely very fiddly in places, but overall, glad to have these figures back in the collection.
Respect to you Stu for sticking with it. As i sat and ate my dinner I laughed and tried to instruct you and agreed with u on the pain of it all. I remember doing this 2 yrs back and started filming but never posted the vid cause it took to long, so hats off to you Stu, well done 👍So happy you found these figures mate so you have some of your original toys in your collection now ❤
Thank you Matthew, very much appreciated. To be fair I thought it was going to be a lot tougher getting those rubber bands through, but it wasn't too bad. I am absolutely delighted to have some of my childhood toys in my collection now.
Nice one Stu! Good to see these come back to life 👍Any restoration can be frustrating and fitting he-bands can be cruel - believe it or not I can swear my head off during a restoration but most of the time I cut those 🤣
@@universaltoycollector seriously! Great job and the figures looks awesome. Amazing to have some of your original childhood collection, now made even more special.
Appreciate that Gary, thank you. I'm over the moon with how the figures have scrubbed up, plus actually having them in my collection now is awesome. Looks like you had a great time at your latest convention.
Great effort Stu, a few points I noticed a, I hope that was your toothbrush you used? b, I'm glad your not my surgeon! c, you have way more patience than me! You must be very pleased with how they have turned out. Especially as they're your own childhood toys. Will they take pride of place in your collection now?
Lol in answer and response to your points. A, it was my old travel toothbrush. B, I'd make a shocking surgeon. C, I actually surprised myself with how patient I was with doing this. Over the moon with both having them in my collection and how they now look. I need to find a spot for them in the collection.
Great video. I miss my childhood HE-Man figs. I recently picked up a few original Star Wars figures from a charity shop that could do with a good clean. Is the soap, water and toothbrush method ok to use on them do you think?
