Nice work T-Real. I have repaired and sold many Rockys in the past but mostly I acquired a lot to get the small black wheels and replace them with gray to be re-sold. I see you have the version that already came with gray. Which brings up the question 'why do some of the motorized Rocky's have have small black wheels on both the Tender and him while others have small gray wheels on him and Tender?  I think the Tomy version only came with gray and the tender has large gray wheels.

well I think because there's the tomy rocky and then there's the hit toy rocky which has dark grey wheels then there's the fisher price re release but yeah there's like 4 different rocky variations

well this thread is now full circle and I used the rocky I was trying to restore. Not anymore I got another rocky that was almost complete but thanks to me having another rocky I was able to take the spring that's inside the part that goes up and down and took two of his legs to complete my replacement.
