Has anyone used these o-rings?
25ct. replacement O-Rings or O-Rings 100ct
There's no size listed.

or these screws: Leg and Back Screws *blunt tip* (20ct)

Thanks,

I have probably used more than 2000 of those O-rings from GIJoeHeaven and they are just perfect for vintage O-ring figures. However figures like Baroness and Jinx require some smaller versions.

ok well i posted this on customs but i thought it actually belongs here in the vintage section becouse its for a vintage figure. here is my custom hand made cobra commander thone chair. i will be making diffrent styles but for now i think works.

Are there any good methods to touching up the paint on old figures? I don't mean a complete custom job, just a touch-up to hair/uniform/boots that have been scuffed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Quick one on loose rotating arm joints: Can the lower arm be safely pulled off? What's the top solution? Going with Elmer's for the easy fix, for now... I have a Steel Brigadesman who needs rehab.
