Remove paint and such, but can you actually eg bleach one white?
Curious is all.
Are you looking to remove the yellowing that can affect white plastic? If so, I don't think there's much that can be done. White plastic takes on a yellow hue when exposed to sunlight over a period of time. I think it's a chemical change in the plastic itself and cannot be 'removed' as such. I've heard of some people using toothpaste, but I'm not sure that would work, and I wouldn't recommend it myself.

I've noticed the paint on some of my Figures is starting to wear off/chip.
Is there anyway to stop this happening?

I've noticed my vintage G1 Ramjet has a slightly loose cockpit joint. The joint where the actual white body connects with the black shoulders - this causes the head, when the nosecone is pulled back (as per the proper transformation) to tilt backwards enough to be a nuisance.
Is there a fix for this age-old problem? If so, a fix will make my Ramjet an easy C10.

I bought Stealth Animated Lockdown today and broke the left fist off within 15 minutes of fooling around with him!! It's broken into two pieces, how can I glue it back together?

Superglue or take it back and tell them what happened and exchange it. That's about all I know but make sure to get the SG that dries clear. Some of them dont.

Yes but I would find one wth a fine tip to get it all. There is a five pack of metallic markers at most Targets or Wal-Mart's that was under the brand of RoseArt but the same ones are ina generic package now. Has Blue, Silver, Gold, Green and Purple and they are just as good with a wide and fine tip.

I am trying to complete my G1 Devastator. Does anyone know where I can find the canopy for Scrapper? I have checked all the parts sites I normally use without luck. Will the canopy off the knock-off fit and match colour? If so, where can I find one of those? The ones in shops around here are all yellow.
I am also struggling to find a G1 Hook. (I have some spare parts in the form of a broken G2 Hook, so a broken one may work depending on what is broken)
