These poor vintage G.I.Joe figures have seen some action in their time. Both have broken knees that need fixing. Time to get the Lego out. Different era's of Joe's have different Knee construction so require various methods to fix them up. Watch the video to see the process.

I always loved these old O-Ring Joes. I would spend hours mixing and matching parts to create my own new figures. Great fix Dave!😃

With Dave and Toy Polloi around, G.I. Joe will always have a leg to stand on! :)

Smashing repairs as standard 👏🏼 Lego needs to get sponsoring you with a custom parts-toolkit launch 👨‍🔧

@GreyHulk2156 2 года назад

You're the MacGyver of toys, fixing things with just a paperclip, PTFE tape and some LEGO. ;P

@christopherlacher3544 2 года назад

I use the little red hoses that come with wd-40 cans work great. But I do like this method. And believe I will use it from now on. Just ordered some of those lego parts on ebay.

@manofaction1807 2 года назад

Brilliant!!! What a great idea. Now all I need are a bag of antennas. Put a little nail polish in the bob that the knee attaches to. It will snug it up.

I found you can repair that bottom peg on Night Viper with the right size comb tooth. Fits the accessory perfect.

Thank you so much 😀

@occamsrazor4370 2 года назад

This is absolutely fantastic. I’ve never seen this approach to fixing G.I.Joe’s (Action Force). Looks like I need some legos. Now if you can find something for arm joints, never seen a repair of thous ever. Thanks bro. Nice tip

@toypolloi 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@rawnostalgia 2 года назад

are you referring to the elbow? or are you meaning the top part of the arm that fixes into the body?

@eltenda 2 года назад

Great how to

@kayvtv Год назад

Night Viper was my first toy! :D

@Portal2099 2 года назад

Good info Dave!. I need to get some lego antennas. Also, Night Viper in particular has a lot of pegs... the pegs on his leg to hold his gun, and the pegs that hold his visor on, then another peg that holds the night vision scope onto the visor. Thank you buddy!

@davecardoza4762 2 года назад

Great fix today Dave. Thank you for giving us great ideas on fixing our Gi.Joes. The plastic used on these action figures was so delicate that the joints would break easily due to constant play. I have 2 Night Vipers and I fixed the leg of one, but there's another problem with that particular action figure. The two connectors on the sides of the helmet where the visors or night vision goggles go, are always breaking. I would love to see another video where you tackle that problem. Again, thanks Dave for your superb ideas on how to fix these toys. 👍

Yo Joe! I might even try this thanks.

@frankschuler2867 2 года назад

Beautiful! Just like new!

@lemontangs 2 года назад

Night Viper was my favorite G.I Joe as a kid. Now my kids play with it as well as a host of others Joe's. My biggest bane with this character was the visor and rifle holster stubs (on the leg) would always keep breaking. Still to this day a cool looking toy.

@thetworoos 2 года назад

A great how-to guide for a common problem! Nice job! 😃

@sdavifcom 2 года назад

Thoses are rather simple fixes, but great nonetheless. Thanks Dave.

@toypolloi 2 года назад

Not all fixes need to be complicated. Most times simple is best.

This is a great tutorial, I've been watching a lot of your videos of late and since I had been picking up some loose and broken figures it helps a great deal thank you and congrats on your subscribers

@grizzlehorn7387 2 года назад

I learn so much from you @toypolloi

@garym6315 2 года назад

I'd definitely be interested in more videos about joint repairs for these sort of figures - luckily my Action Force figures are mostly okay but my Galoob A-Team figures seem to be broken everywhere, and luckily those and the Black Hole figures seem to use the same basic design as these Action Force / GI Joe figures.

@oliverbelmonte7077 2 года назад

Ah.....another unique way to fix the legs of your 3 3/4 inch vintage gijoes, courtesy of Sir Dave.

@Dustin2112 2 года назад

Oh the HUMANITY! Poor Legos

@autoneurotic 2 года назад

I love GI Joes but my God, they were the most fragile toys I had growing up. Each and every figure became destroyed in time.

@aroexplorer 2 года назад

Congratulations on the work!. excellent video. Do you have any tips to improve the articulation of the Joes' legs?. over time, they become soft and lose stability to stand. big hug from Brazil!.

@toypolloi 2 года назад

Yeah, that's an old video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Htmv4FjbKVs.html

@GreyHulk2156 2 года назад

With all your mentions of "G.I. Joe knee", it made me think maybe we have a name for the female Joes now. "G.I. Joanie". ;P

@erikw5 2 года назад

I don’t know if you take requests but do you know if it’s possible to fix the spark action for the G1 transformers that had that gimmick?

@mykeg2401 2 года назад

Only if 8 year old me had this knowledge… I had Quite a few joes that didn’t make it home to mama joe….

@ZombieKG 2 года назад

I just bought a Night Viper with a broken visor peg. Which lego piece would you recommend to replace it with? I thought of using the Lego piece commonly used as the gear shift in smaller sets

@toypolloi 2 года назад

Whip antenna is the smallest you can get. Either that or some smaller diameter styrene rod.

@ZombieKG 2 года назад

@@toypolloi Thank you sir 👍

@KirksCORNER Год назад

Cool work but I sure hope you don't sell these I'd hate to get 1 of these in my Collection not knowing it's been broken at 1 time.

@WeaselJuice 2 года назад

All my Joes are starting to disintegrate, so I’ve started selling them on EBay while they are still in one piece. I’ll take that $ and reinvest in the newer generations.
