Hello all i was wondering if anyone here has made quality reproduction parts for jumbo gaiking like the red wings or the red shin/weapons pieces. Also can the arm sockets be reprod also if they are broken? Has anyone attempted these?

Hi bro,
it might be more economical to score a loose unifve gaiking for the parts, thats why not much people request for gaiking parts, just my opinion, cheers ;D
best

Thanks lexcars and d.o.e. for your input. D.o.e i hate to see any jumbo go unfinished original or newer. If i had a unifive gaiking i would hate to see him be not complete. I have to many of those tryin to get completed. I would love to get a unifive gaiking though if anyone has one to sell  |

I second D.O.E's sentiment. U5 Gaiking is the way to go although I'm sure you don't want to buy an entire U5 Gaiking just for a shin guard per se.
Good luck,

I haven't made any reproduction parts for the original popy Gaiking. And nothing for the ball end of the arm either.

I have seen several of the leg pieces posted on ebay over the last few weeks. I think they tend to be buy it now auctions so I would check there every few days.

Did you get the popy Gaiking that sold on ebay back on December 9th? Seemed like a couple recent auctions for the popy Gaiking and of course, missing those parts.

There have been a few of those up for sale in the last few months. More than I have seen in the last two years in fact. A couple of uni-five's as well. Want to explain to a guy that if your Gaiking says uni-five, it was not made in the 70's and the people that collect them know the difference.

I contacted that seller about his 'discrepancy' in the ad. He then dropped his price from $1250 to $750 after I told him that these items tend to sell anywhere from $250-350!!
A few days after I educated him, I received an e-mail from E-Bay telling me I violated their policy by interfering with another members sale. I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

I don't bother telling anyone on eBay anything anymore.
But I used to tell them about (accidentally)misrepresenting
something. Lol

Hahaha i seen that unifive gaiking also and laughed. I wanted to tell him also. I would be very careful with that seller seems like everything he has bought has been 99 cents just to get his feedback up. Yes he has sold a few things but nothing close to the price he wants for that, then the way he just tried to pawn it off as made in 70's you know he knows it wasnt
