R2-D2 and C3-PO were my frist Star Wars toys in 1977. Both now have very little crome left on them...... But I still love them both.

I fixed mine using some thermoplastic beads, just melted them and shaped it into a thin point, it worked great. That stuff would be a great tool in your arsenal

@@toypolloi You've made me a happy camper because I know I have at least six 1977, solid dome R2s with broken clickers!

I am going to fix my vintage '77 R2D2 using your method straight away. It's been broken since probably '78 or so!

The solid dome sounds better when you twist it one way than it does the other. You can hear it on the third one.

Awesome repair I really liked your technique of using the piece of wood to support the plastic while cutting it……very nice….

You know the click when you hear it. You don't have to see it, you can hear it and feel it in your hands as it clicks and brings you back.

Fine work yet Again TP! -using that existing injection molded right-angled plastic to create a part bearing function in mind, instead of just recreating the shape ... - that's why we're all here and will stay here. Absolute Legend :)

Perfectly done. I like „upcycling“ methods. To use the rest of the plastic box. Really clever. I used the bottoms of a haribo box for the underside of my recreation hoverboard. Keep up the good work. 😊

Yeah me too. It does not have a hole to fall out off, does it? So where did it go?

Depends if someone tried to fix it before and had already opened R2 up.

Love your videos! Not to be picky about it, but the original R2 and R5 figures have more of a high pitched ping sound, not just a dull click.
@mottrex
@mottrex 2 года назад
Mine an early 77/78 model certainly makes more of a Doing sound than a click

I never actually liked the clicker despite R2 being one of my favourite childhood toys. I don't know what it was, but it was like that serling crawling sensation people get with nails on a blackboard, touching polystyrene, that sort of thing.

I have the tiny clicker bit of one of mine in a bag somewhere as I could never figure out how to re attach it due to it being the very definition of a fiddly bit, ( possibly plastic weld or superglue) This is a great alternative fix
@toypolloi
@toypolloi 2 года назад
It would be hard to reattach the broken piece as the join would be so weak and to make it click it has a lot of force applied. So I'm not sure if it's even possible.

If you use a Sprucefield from any model kit you get a more satisfying Doing sound..

If you had looked inside the body you may well have found the broken piece down one side, since there is no way for it to fall out.

Does the sensor scope clicker ring fit into the solid dome version ? If the plastic is better quality in the sensor scope version and less likely to break, providing it`ll fit in the solid dome version it makes sense to just swap them out if you have a beyond repair sensor scope figure but the clicker ring is in good condition you could just pop it into the solid dome.
@toypolloi
@toypolloi Год назад
Can't say I have tried. I would imagine the sensorscope version will fit in a solid done, but not the other way around.

How do you replace the body sticker on a vintage R2-D2? Additionally where can I get the vintage replacement body stickers? - William

you aren't using superglue correctly unless at least one finger gets glued to something.
