I never heard of Ninjor in Masters of the Universe and I was an 80s kid (tomboy of a lil girl that loved MOTU & GI Joe) but he might have came along after I'd moved on to Joe's. I'm just glad to see old toys given new life, a home and loved again.
I have to admit, one thing I enjoy about Toy Polloi-- besides the nostalgia-- is the calm, straightforward way things are explained. And some of the music's not bad, either. 🙂
This has been an astoundingly good restoration. Lots of different issues to be fixed, and great ingenuity on all of them. I wish I could give you 20 likes instead of just one because they would be more than deserved!
I had a friend from years ago who felt that having both Ninjor and Jitsu as villains but had no heroic counterpart was unfair. So he took a head from Fisto and put it on the body of Prince Adam then had his grandmother make him a white with blue version of Ninjor's outfit. Basically creating a uber muscular version of a white ninja Chuck Norris. 😁
Like always amazing video! Thanks for sharing All this with us. Special mentíon for the computer work fixing the measures of the pictures. Awesome!! Greetings from southern Spain.
Always love a cloak/ cape/ robe episode, and those nun chucks are brilliant , I need to come up with an idea for making a Blake’s 7 weapon for my Avon custom and things like this help me to keep brainstorming 👍
Oh cool. An Avon custom sounds great! The Blake's 7 weapons were pretty unique looking from what I remember. Like a wand. Maybe Lego is a good starting point. Some of the early Lego space weapons looked quite similar.
As many other people have noted on this feed, I never came across this figure as a kid, but looks really cool now he’s had his makeover. Once again I’m blown away with your ingenuity Dave. Really enjoyable video
If you ever get broken t m n t Michangelo nunchucks you can use very small eyehooks and a small chain necklace to make nunchucks as well cool video as always Dave
Another knockout dave, definitely gonna revisit this one when i find a junk ninjor in need of a robe and possibly weapons or end up making a slamurai custom!
AMAZING restoration! The robe looks great, but the the emblem recreation process was just fantastic and the end result looks terrific! I pulled up an image of the vintage nunchucks and, except for the chain, it's a dead ringer. AWESOME job! My friend's 10 y-o is starting to 3d print replacement missiles and such for vintage action figures. I shared this vid so she can try her hand at making these chucks too! Thanks!!
I would have thought the nunchucks would have been very difficult to fabricate, but you made short work of it. I need to channel you when I run into road blocks restoring my G1 Jetfires and other Robotech toys.
I was literally going to ask you about restoring the robe for Ninjor, I have mine mostly untouched except for the robe and nun-chucks which are missing. Thank you!, and good timing :P
If I am not misstaken, there actuall is a strip, almost like that double sided tape you used, that response to heat (a iron), and sorts of became a "glue stripe". Nice video as always.
@@toypolloi I totally agree with you. It's better to use the stuff you have around you than invent the wheel again. Esp if the results will came out the same. 🙂
So rather than double sided tape, have you considered "Hem Adhesive"? I'm actually surprised you don't use it for a lot of things. It's a thin hot melt fabric sizing, real cheap, I'd recommend it.
Great video! Thank you! A few years back, I asked about the possibility of a how-to for reproducing Scare Glow's cape, but you said you needed a sample to work from to make a pattern. Unfortunately, I don't have a Vintage Scare Glow any more, but some patterns have shown up online, and I've sussed out through trial-and-error that the main portion of his cape is made from a fabric that can be found online as "chiffon fabric stretch material," in purple, while his collar appears to be made from the same pseudo-velvety fabric (in purple) as Prince Adam's vest. Is that any help?
I know you've done hundreds of leg changes, but I still can't help (after watching you do it several times) but think that using a metal screw driver is a good way to tear the rubber. I feel like you should be using like a wood chopstick, or a plastic device.
Great job. What do you typically do with the finished figure that was sent in? Also, what type of paper do you use for the stickers? I have some vintage vehicles that could use some new ones
I post at least one new restoration video every week on Friday. If you want more Toy Polloi check out my second channel @toypolloitwo for even more content!
