Quality of Repro Plastics

[DRD]

These came for my fathom today. These are the "genuine licensed" ones with the hologram on the packet.

I think they are pretty good, and are miles better than having broken or missing ones. They are not as high resolution as the originals, but I don't believe you would notice unless really staring

The original one is on the right. Look at the octopus' eye ...

For the authentic look you need to throw up on them so they smell of sick.

@carl lawrence I got mine from there too, also by CPR.

@Arv dead right. Some of the sold ballys really do smell foul

Funnily enough I was just looking at a way to get my cable clips back to white as they've gone yellow over the years. Looks like this might actually do the job.

Basically you just need cream peroxide which is the same thing hairdressers use: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRUZONE-C...Domain_3&var=470452649013&hash=item27e90d9412

Then just stick it out in sunlight or, for extra speediness, invest in a UV light and stick it under that.

Might have a go at it actually as i've got loads of spare cable clips. Or maybe it's a step too far and i'm being waaaay too nerdy and obsessive.
