Vintage Mego Space 1999 Alan Carter restoration - Toy Polloi
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is a figure I have been wanting for a long long time to add to my Space 1999 collection. Alan Carter is one of the harder to find figures, so I was happy to get him in any condition. And with a small amount of work he ended up looking fantastic.

I'm astonished at how good the face sculpts are on these figures. Nice to see them being made whole again.
It's always kinda relaxing just watching one of these restoration vids. :)

Agreed, even toy lines I'm not interested in personally are still relaxing to watch restored, keep them coming:)
Excellent work 👌
As far as I know Alan Carter is the priciest of the vintage Palitoy Space 1999 figures! Great vid by the way!
This was my favorite sci fi series and it still pretty much holds that honor for me.

Thanks. He turned out really nicely.
Comlocks on wrong side of body. Also belt probably looks better with buckle on back to simulate wide flat surface on front for 1999. Great job on the painting and sewing it really smartened it up! A+ video. thanks.
Thanks for your response I will search for the video keep up the great work and videos
Cool intro and project...I loved the tv serie

+Graeme Goodwin They did that to me the first time. I should have known it was going to go wrong at that time.
Oh to think of the times I tried to make an outfit for my He-Man...it didn’t look like that 😕
You could invest in some really nice fine detail brushes. It really does make things so much easier.

+David Lane I found them most unhelpful, especially as they messed the order up. I still do not have the missing part :( As for Batman, I am still searching for one to restore as now I have Robin I need Batman!
I loved Mego as a kid, I think I went through 4 or 5 Spider-Man dolls...wish I would have saved the parts.
Hey Dave another great video and restoration. Have you ever restung a tonto or lone ranger figure I purchased one and it almost looks impossible to restring any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. Frank

Do you do a clear matte finish on your paint work? I have an army of vintage OOP 40K Squats and I was was wondering.

Yes, generally I do. It all depends on the finish I am aiming for.

Hi
Have you thought about starting your own reproduction parts company? Seems the ones that are out there are not that great at all.

+Squirrel Killa It would be good? But I don't think I have the time to start something like that. Maybe someone else could have a go and I could help.
Don't understand how a current fashion trend (flares) and hairstyle (sideburns) was allowed in a futuristic setting. Surely, the exact OPPOSITE should have been implemented. Would the actors been paid more if they had to change their hair, I wonder?
needs some hair on the chest!
