Just brought them in. The peroxide was gone. They look good, but it did take off almost all the paint of Luke's body.

Re: The Wookieballs Kenner Restoration Project - Dagobah Playset

Hey y'all   ;D

A while back now I got my paws on a vintage Kenner Dagobah Playset for pennies. However, it was missing a ton of parts!



By scouring the bay and with the help of Tamer I managed to track down all of the missing parts including a new repro swamp (as the original foam tends to disintegrate!)



After a good clean with soapy hot water I started the rebuilding of the set





It cost far more to locate the missing parts than it did to buy the actual playset! Still she is complete now - more pics to follow

"Away put your weapon, I mean you no harm."



Marvel at the power of the force!!!!!







The cave!!





A great little playset all in all, and I'm happy to have finally completed it!

My parents bought me this Carbonite Han in Hong Kong back in 1984...now he is recarded along with his original coin!



This is my original 1980 Bespin Luke - he has been restored, given new hands and mounted on a POTF card with repro coin and genuine blaster and saber



And this is the infamous YPS Hoth Stormie from Germany - on a limited edition custom card (only two exist!)

I decided to add a few joes into my restoration mix - I've owned that Snake Eyes since 1983!

That is so awesome. I really enjoyed that YPS Hoth Stormtrooper. Very cool. I also love how you have these displayed too. Just perfect. Off to share.
