Need parts for X-Men Storm - Toy Biz 1/12 scale figure
Posted by davecww1 on Sunday, February 8, 2009 9:04 PM

Not sure if I should put this in the figure section or Sci-Fi, so I put it in both! 

Hi everyone, I recently got an old kit on Ebay of Storm _ X Men figure in the Marvel Comics series from Toy Biz issued in 1996. Unfortunately my kit is missing the whole sprue of hair part # 15, 16, 17, 18.  If anyone has this part in the spare parts bin or an old figure not of any use please e-mail me at davecww1@gmail.com

My 7 year old son waants to build this kit but she is bald headed lol.

Thanks,

Dave Calhoun

I canthelp you, dont have the parts.  You could always help him and do the figure up like the 1980s storm with the mohawk, that would be an easy scratch build.

On another note, did the seller say those parts were missing?  If not, you should file a complaint.

I did, got a set of 4 gundam kits, one was open, the head was missing, I got back half of what I paid for the lot, basicly for the price, ended up only paying for one (the cheapest at that)

Yeah I was thinking about the mohawk but the costume was different, think she had a leather vest & skirt back in those days.  May try sculpting hair from Milliput or some of the Sculpty clay that bakes in the oven to harden. The Kit I bought was still factory sealed so it's definately a Toybiz error and I wouldn't blame the seller for that since he couldn't look in the box to check the parts.  One of the problems with buying 20 year old kits, many are out of production and replacement parts are non existant unless someone has one in the scrap box.

Yea, that really stinks, all I can think is that you could, if you wanted to put out the time and money, you could get a SECOND of that kit, and re-cast it in resin.  After that, sell the one with the hair, and use the resin bits on the first kit.
