Is he worth owning at all.

Is he worth getting at discount.

If I got him what size screwdriver do I need to exchange his springs.

And, is he possible to (mostly) repaint without taking apart the whole figure?

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. A bloody small one

4. No. A lot of the pieces in his chest would probably need pulling apart. The arms are mostly solid plastic (as opposed to layers of plastic) so thats okay, the legs are mostly the same but as you get to the feet theres lots of little pieces that might need taking apart.

Have fun with him!

Thanks. What if I just paint the black parts of his face silver? I'm starting to think I don't have the courage/acumen to take him apart and repaint then put him back again.

I like him so far, well worht the $5 i paid (I used one of the self checkouts at wal-marts and it came out to be $5, no idea why, asked a cawally-world amployee and she really didn't seem to care, so i lucked out)
I'm planning on repainting him to be more movie accurate too, saw the one thread on the repaint and looks like he should just come apart in 4 or 5 peices for painting

From now on, I use the self-checkout.

I thought they had taken out all the self check-out aisles for this very reason. They have around here anyway.

1. Yes
2. Sales are for the weak.

3. No idea. Get a whole kit!
