Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:1988 Action Figure Michaelangelo COMPLETE

Description: FRAGILE WARNING The sole purpose for the Fragile Warning is to alert the buyer of potential harm that could come to the item with, or without proper precautions. There are some TMNT items that were not made properly, especially when neglect and age has persisted. Unfortunately, this is a Playmates Toys reality. The engineering process of some of the TMNT items by Playmates Toys was not thoroughly tested, and many damages have occurred by the original owner in the past- typically by a child. Typically these items are certain accessories like belts and weapons, but also ball joints to figures have been known to be a problem. A fragile warning is used to give the buyer advice as to how to properly maintain the item, without damaging it, due to item fragility and or repair. The Fragile Warning is there to give the best satisfaction possible without disappointment for buyer and seller alike, and also guidelines to follow if the buyer should damage the item. Every fragile warning will be scripted in the item pictures, mentioned in the item condition section, in the item description section, and also mailed on a slip of paper should with any buyer. If the buyer speaks a non-English language, a translated script will be provided if possible. A: Michaelangelo C-9/Hard Head-Nunchucks/Nunchaku(not broken): Though the nunchucks/nunchakus are not broken, it is not recommended to place the accessory into the holsters without using proper precautions. Petroleum jelly, baby oil, or any other type of lubricant, or applying heat to the holster, may bring you success, but that is still at your own risk. This warning will be mailed with the item. If the buyer breaks the nunchucks/nunchaku, any request for return or refund by buyer or eBay, will be rejected and defended by the seller and all parties involved. SELLER'S FINAL RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT PLACE THE NUNCHUCKS/NUNCHAKU INTO THE BELT'S HOLSTER, OR TRY TO BEND THE STRING. B: 1988 Michaelangelo(Repaired)- These Nunchucks/Nunchaku have actually been repaired using a busted Splinter bow. The strings and arrow shaft were harvested, holes were drilled into the handles string meeting points, and finally super glue was used to keep them in place, and heat treatment to seal the holes, glue and string together. The repair is still not fail proof. The string CANNOT be bent, nor holstered into the belt. Bending the string will make the repair come undone.This warning will be mailed with the item. If the buyer breaks the nunchucks/nunchaku, any request for return or refund by buyer or eBay, will be rejected and defended by the seller and all parties involved. SELLER'S FINAL RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT PLACE THE NUNCHUCKS/NUNCHAKU INTO THE BELT'S HOLSTER, NOR TRY TO BEND THE STRING.C: Michaelangelo C-8.5/Hard Head-Nunchucks/Nunchaku(not broken): Though the nunchucks/nunchakus are not broken, it is not recommended to place the accessory into the holsters without using proper precautions. Petroleum jelly, baby oil, or any other type of lubricant, or applying heat to the holster, may bring you success, but that is still at your own risk. This warning will be mailed with the item. If the buyer breaks the nunchucks/nunchaku, any request for return or refund by buyer or eBay, will be rejected and defended by the seller and all parties involved. SELLER'S FINAL RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT PLACE THE NUNCHUCKS/NUNCHAKU INTO THE BELT'S HOLSTER, NOR TRY TO BEND THE STRING.D: Michaelangelo C-8/Hard Head-Nunchucks/Nunchaku(Broken): Broken chucks for your repair or otherwise.Shell Shock Toys subtlethinker's final statement- "This is a piece of 30+ year old plastic, that was most likely not conditioned throughout the years, and neglected. It is best not to put the nunchucks/nunchaku into the belt. In my search for this fragile item, most Michaelangelo nunchucks/nunchaku I come across have broken strings- sometimes in he middle, sometimes right at the handle- currently, I have 16 handles, all broken, which equates to 8 pairs of chucks. When it comes to repairs, I have to spend time and money to repair it, and I also drop the price down reasonably from its current market value. The two ways I have learned to repair these is with either super glue if there is string left, or with a busted Splinter bow. The difference between the two is, repairing the actual string for the chucks is closer to the real thing, but can be very unstable if not enough glue is used. It is also hard to get them centered even with a set of helping hands. Often, the excessive amount of glue used in such cases, makes them look very non-cosmetic- ugly. Limited heat treatment can be used, but heat can also make the repair become unglued. On the other hand, using the Splinter bow technique gives the chucks a thicker string, allows for more stability with the string being enabled to be pushed into the handle and secured with glue. Though it does lack the originality of the actual nunchucks/nunchaku string. As a child, I learned nunchucks myself- with the chain kind. I never understood why Playmates Toys never designed Mike's nunchucks with a chain look in their injection molding process, or just used a small piece of plastic chain instead. I not only think the design looks cheap, it looks stupid, and it is overly fragile. A chain look to the nuchucks/nunchaku would have not only been more stable, but better looking in general! I suppose I am so critical of this piece, because Mike is my favorite Ninja Turtle. I know some collectors like to keep it there for maybe safe keeping or "cause it looks good". Let's ask ourselves this- is the risk worth the reward for any of us? So please, take care of the Michaelangelo nunchucks/nunchaku, treat it loving tender care, and most importantly, take care of yourself! :) Thank you!" -WELCOME TO SHELL SHOCK TOYS!
