Post Here To Help with Vintage Non-Vinyl Non-Japanese Toys
Been Lurking a long while. Finally got my registration activated. Hurray! Been asking lots of questions and doing a bit of selling/trading. Dont Want to be just a user. So if any Skullbrainers have any questions aboout any vintage 1950's 1980's non-vinyl non-japanese toys I'd like to give back a little and volunteer my help. I was a dealer, collector for many many years. Started before there was such a thing as collectible toys and have a great deal of knowledge on a huge range of topics. Captain Action, G.I.Joe, Universal Monsters, Don Post Masks, Model Kits, Cereal Boxes, Megos, Star Wars, Comics, Movie Posters, Advertising Characters etc.etc.etc. If this knowledge might be usefull to anyone hit me up. I'm happy to help.

i have a speclatron figure that leaks like crazy! i've emptied it out and want to figure out a way to seal it back up with water and all. i did get a tip on using saline solution instead of water, but when i have asked around on any specifics on types of caulk and what not to use to caulk it up i got no help. i searched around some hardware stores for random clear caulk, and everything i found said not to use on stuff that has prolonged water exposure. any idea what i can use?

also, welcome, and great way to make yourself known here.

Thanks for the link Jacksauce. That Lords of Light line looks really interesting, and I had never heard of it before. I can see how it would really appeal to micronauts and other 3 3/4" fans.

@ TotenToroKopf - thanks for that great offer and belated welcome to the forum. Sooo many random questions, agreed that's it better had over a beer or two :mrgreen:
