My Rizzo Has No Nose!

[jediX]

They do bring up vey good points. After all, if you, for example, broke a window in your house, you would have to pay for it yourself.

Not that I wouldn't like perfect figures, but you get what you get.

Besides, Rizzo isn't too expensive anyway, and you might just find him in a store, too.

Oh, I certainly wouldn't try to get Palisades to replace the figure--this is clearly "user error." (I might, however, ask them why their Sam figure decided to lose consciousness and pass out on another figure ). No, this is something that I'm clearly responsible for. I just wanted advice on making a new nose that would look professional. What do people use when repairing or customizing figures?

So how does he smell ?

So how does he smell ?

Awful, as he said in his first post.

I so wanted to ask that questian, but I thought I'd better not.

Crayola has some modeling clay out called "Model Magic." I've used it in the past to make things, and it's very lightweight and dries overnight. They have a black clay, so maybe you could roll a tiny ball of the clay and stick it on his noseless area. I think it would work because when you first open it up it's a little tacky, but then it dries nicely.

Here's a link so you can get an idea of what it is:

It's sold anywhere you can get kids' art supplies (Target, Wal-Mart, OfficeMax, Toys R Us, etc.)

If all else fails, Rizzo is for sale online at KB and I've seen him in other stores:

Good luck!

That stuff is pretty good, but its a bit foamy. Sculpey works really well but it's a bit more expensive and I'm not sure if it sticks to the figures.

 

[AndyWan Kenobi]

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll have to go down to the craft store this week and see about the Crayola stuff--it sounds like something easy for a craft-o-phobic person like me to deal with. I'll post about the results, if it all works out.



P.S. Yes, "awful" indeed!

 

[jediX]

Couldn't you just buy one, though, Andy? I mean, it IS definately easier and I bet you'll be more satisfied.

Unless cash is a problem -- then again Sculpey is pretty expensive last I checked.

 

[AndyWan Kenobi]

Yeah, I suppose I could buy one, but I'm pretty sentimental about toys. I would just feel bad for Rizzo if I unceremoniously replaced him just because his nose came off. I'd rather fix him. It probably seems kind of silly, but I'd rather make him better.

I agree. I have a Boba Fett figure from the orange carded series (loose), and his rangefinder thingy is almost broken off. I even bought a little case to protect it so I wouldn't have to buy another. It's just a piece of plastic but it means a ton to me, mainly because it was the first figure I ever bought with my own money.
