I always like a challenge and these two vintage G.I.Joe figures are certainly that. Tomax & Xamot have been well loved and well played with and have pretty much no paint left of them. The underlying figures don't look to bad with no breaks on major issues. So lets see if we can restore these Cobra agents back to there former glory.

    Man, watching those disparate pieces come back together to become figures again was SATISFYING. Brilliant restoration, Dave.

    My knees are really stiff and painful. Have I got too much PTFE tape on them?
  • @briansadler7270
    Absolutely phenomenal job. You are definitely quite the mixologist. The way you match those colors is nothing short of amazing. You never cease to amaze me.

    Dave, if you’re pleased with how you fixed Tomax and Xamot, we are even happier to see another great restoration video from you especially when it comes to Gi.Joes. Man, you make it look so easy and effortlessly. Now I know what to use for my vintage motu Roboto’s legs. It needs some care and restoration. Thank you ToyPolloi!!
  • @TeflonDave
    Those look AMAZING! These paint touchups are some of my favorite content. It's like watching those lawn transformations, lol. The stickers looked REALLY nice, too. They made an immediately noticeable difference on figures that already looked GREAT. I remember being really impressed with your skyhook in that video too. It does look MUCH better than the original. Great job! Thanks for sharing!!

    On the leg, arm post I also use glue like the head post, and it works great and use water transfer decals then hit it with a clear coat. Looks original
  • @MonkeyboysToys
    A great result and now these guys are looking really sharp! Also appreciate the on-screen injury (with slo-mo replay) to bring an element of jeopardy into the process! Thanks for the video Dave! 👍🐵

    A couple years ago my dad dug a new garden and found my tomax & xamot buried in the backyard for almost 40 years. They were a little more beat up then the ones you got there.
  • @zarnistastudios
    I am always amazed at what paint, repairs and patience can achieve. Those really came out great!
  • @lostonwallace1396
    Those are probably the best eyes and eyebrows that you've done, Dave! I think you're finally getting the confidence you need to do such details. Confidence is truly the key to that sort of thing. It's easy to let dread of making a mistake psych you out, but you nailed the details on both figures! Good job!

    Fantastic restoration job, Dave. Looks great!
  • @TrevorToonArt
    Really goes to show you that a figure is never too far gone to fix.
  • @ratface44
