All I have to say is Hot Dammmmn, Jones is mine!!!!!!!
Well I was doing my usual lurking on ebay and came across a Mint NRFB Dragon Swift Freedom Agent Jones. I placeed a bid on him and thought "oh what the hell I wont win it" since he's popular and rare at the same time. But low and behold I won my Agent Jones, one of the most coolest action figures Dragon ever made.
Below are some pics of Jones in and out of the box, dont hate me now lol.
Toy Soldier PCU
Well I got my TS Protective Combat Uniform set in the mail the other day. I had some issues with the color being a purple-ish grey so I set out to remedy the problem. I got a pack of and a pack of Pearl Gray and RIT Color Remover as well.
I tossed the suit in a pot of 3 tablespoon of desolved RIT Color remover for about 5 mins and it removed the color. The suit looked beige almost white when I removed it from the solution. I didnt plan to remove the the color just lighten it.
I wasnt un-happy with my results, next I rinsed the PCU set according to the instructions on the Color remover package then cleaned out the pot. Once the pot was cleaned I added the PCU set to the simmering pot of 6 tablespoons of RIT Pearl Grey dye. I didnt want to dye it too dark so I kept a constant eye on it stirring it every so often for about 15 mins or so.
Below is the end reslut of my dye job, I must say the suit came out pretty good considering it was my first time doing something like this. I think its a 100% improvement on the way it originally looked. I get a constant gray color with out needing to adjust my light source.
On the subject of light soucre, It may have been the light that played tricks with my eyes. I did an informal study, 4 out of 5 people that I asked said the color of this suit said there was a purple or mauve tint to it. After the dye job they said it was Grey so like I said Im happy with the results. I will post pre-dye pics taken at the same location shortly.
