When it gets bad, just take them off a respray them. I had to do that with my MKIV and MKVI.

I am sure there is but can you point me to a link where it shows us how and what materials to use? Thanks in advance.

... can't solve the pink panties issues ... just opened ...the box last night

 

[Centurion]

Just try to think of a pink panty paint touch up every 1,500 days like getting your automobile's oil changed every 3,000 miles.

Indeed!

There is a thread somewhere. I can't recall the thread title.
Basically all you do is get Gaia Colour 041 clear red, remove the hip armour and paint right on top till it's the right colour. Then pop it back on when the paint is dry. Here's the progression on the last one i did:

Pinked armour:

Armour removed:

The extent of the pinking:

Pink on the right, newly repainted on the left:

And again:

One on the right repainted:

And again:

And finally back on the armour and ready to ship out:

I can't belive they still have not fixed this they said they did and the issues was because they did not apply a coat of silver first but applied the red paint directly crap

 

[chewdeezy]

Damn, better buy some red paint now since it's going to fade...

So do I just paint over it? Do I have to repaint the black lines?

Just paint over it. In the pics i posted above, i just painted on top of the faded parts.

Just took a look at mine and no fading yet, fingers crossed. I display it out in the open but no direct sunlight in the room, been displayed like that since Sep last year.

I suppose the Movie Promo version is bound to suffer the same fate as well.

Arggh my fiancée knocked my Ironman off the shelf and the faceplate magnet and small plastic clip at the bottom broke off. Does anyone know where I could get a replacement from? I put the battle damaged one for now (LOL) but want the clean face plate on him. I checked ebay but no good except for what looks like a knock off from china.

 

[LipSmack]

ebay is likely the best place youll find something, though just the face plate is gonna run you so $$

 

[dw316]

Can you glue the magnet back on? My magnet came off a while back and I just super-glued it back on and now everything's all dandy.

 

[Furyan]

Anyone know if Hologram has continued working his next batches of face plates?

 

[Ninjaknight]

Is it easy to pull off the legs? Would it be there same to remove the legs for all the older marks aswell?

Wow! Give her a chance. Don't go trying to replace your fiance just for that!

 

[KillKen]

LOL . Yeah i glued the magnet back on dw316 but because the little plastic bit broke off it sits loose on the head.

Very easy.
And they all come off, and can be swapped for the most part, with varying degrees of success.

 

[Ninjaknight]

Nice vid Bar. Very helpful. I'm paranoid and break things easy lol..... so that helped alot!
I'm assuming the mark IV has the same joint connection?

They all do. Although i am not sure about the ones on the MKII WM.
But everything else can swap from one figure to another.
Here is a MKVI with MKVII arms and legs, and the MKVII with the MKVI arms and legs:
