Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

If it makes you feel any better - my wife got me these really really incredible earphones that are worth a lot more than the vest, for my birthday.

They were less than a month old then they got caught in something and one earpiece broke off.

What's more, to save a good amount of money, they place she bought it from was not an authorized dealer...

Now i'm in the middle of a nightmare to try and get a replacement ... FML

Ok I got a few PMs regarding the TT biceps switch. So instead of just answering those specific PMs, I'll just answer here for everyone.
First off, I'm sure everyone knows the little trick about removing arms and legs from TTs. You NEVER pull directly out. You always bend the opposite way of the elbow or knee and at the same time give a GENTLE pull. It should pop out with ease. The biceps ARE TRICKY. Once you remove the arms, A large screwdriver or pliers are needed to "break" the biceps apart. Insert the pliers where the arm enters and you can either turn the pliers or just move them back forth. Some asked if they're glued. YES they are glued. So you'll need to put some HUEVOS(balls) into it. If the bicep starts to bend where the arm is inserted, STOP immediately and dip it into some boiling water. I KNOW, BOILING WATER???:slap What a pain!! But It works wonderfully. Once the biceps are removed I would put a very small amount of super glue to seal it back up. Then just pop the arm back in. This works for both narrow and Adv. biceps. I hope this helps fellas. PM me if you need anything else.

when it was on the button it looked normal... But the glue was like water and went directly into the vest before I had a chance to get it away all the damage was done. Oh and the fn button fell off again.

I go out now.

Edit:

I cant believe this. This is just the silliest that could have happen.

Not that bad, button will cover most of it. But as a side note, i wouldn't have used glue, i'd have used double sided tape, at least there wouldn't be any permanent damage in case of something :)


But hey, at least you're not dead :monkey3

Fabric glue would have been safer. Or a glue gun. They wont saturate the fabric.

its actually not that hard to do. plus it would take less time to switch out the biceps than it would to sand it all down. it literally took me 10 minutes to switch everything out. now the long wait for my stuff to arrive begins!

Yea always user fabric glue. Superglue will bleed right through fabric.
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

Dear all,

I hv been looking for very long time a better button for it.

Now I hv just ordered a new one with the glue already inside the button.

Just put the iron or any heat instructment on the top of button, then the glue under the button will stick firmly on the fabric.

Such buttons will be used on Joker blazer and I will send at the same time together with the spare button of Joker vest.

Anyone who hv yr vest peel off again pls stop doing anything and wait for the new buttons

Where have you 2 guys been a few pages before? :lol

Anyway, I used a (usually) sirup type super glue that was morewateri___han usual. Checked if I took the wrong one by accident as they have changed the design of the tube but it is still the same. Maybethey did change the mixture though too. This has always worked fine before.
I have learned it the hard way now. This glue is a no go for me anymore.

Just to be safe - Kato has recevied a C&D order from Showtime regarding Dexter.

Just want to make sure this project never runs into any issues.

That is crazy! Thought they would be happy with a bit of free promo, I guess not when they're not wreaping the benefits. Insane.
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

Sorry about the vest. KingGrayskull sucks.

Fixed that for you. :exactly:

Its all good man. Kato is kind enough to help me and repair it. He is doing it for a very very fair price. Really a pleasure to do business with this man. He even takes care of issues he does not have anything to do with. Thanks again Kato!

That's what she said. :yess:

Quoted for greatness. :lol
