Can't seem to find the thread(s) RE Voltron Restorations. I (finally) won an LJN Voltron Jumbo and can tell from the auction pics it's gonna need a full restore (cleaning and stickers). If you perform this service please post here or hit me up with a PM.
Thanks!

Does Will do the restoration, too, or just the stickers? And I kind of figured I was battling a couple people here for this one, and was just hoping that this time they'd lay off the bidding. I felt good about the price, as almost all the others I've lost (or missed) have gone for over $100. I have learned to be patient when hunting for toys on eBay.  |

Congrats on the win. Voltron is a great
figure.
I can do both cleaning and decals
if you aren't able to do that part.
What all needs done?
Will

From the looks of it Gen1Autobot does good work Rodman recently had his LJN redone by him.
Congrats. And post pics of the restoration!
Cheers,
Will

I will purchase some of Will's stickers, and I guess I'll just do the restoration myself. Will have to find some springs for the hands, but I guess I can just try the hardware store for that.
I did see the thread with the repro sword. Definitely something to consider!
Thanks everyone.

Well, before That even happens, everyone first has to have Voltrons! ;D There are a few RJers who have actually restored Voltrons, and others who have had their Voltrons restored. It's interesting to see more new Voltron jumbo restorations and mods.  zozo-mag i kinda got the impression that everyone here does voltron rehabs? I'm starting to think that as well. |

I'm going to try my hand at it. I don't think I'll be able to fit it in my dish washer, but if not I'll give it a nice, warm bubble bath in the tub. Willohio is making the decals for me, so I'll try my hand at applying the stickers. Something at which I've NEVER been good. And I'll need to find some springs. None of that really seems like restoration to me, more like refurbishing. |
