Looking for Gobot's Cop-tur tail rotor blade

UPDATE: ACQUIRED

I have the figure, but looking for this accessory pictured. Thanks.!

If you have the skills to do it, 3D printing would probably be your best bet. It's not the original part, but it makes for a nice replacement.

Thanks for the response. I know that's growing in popularity. I prefer the original, but I would settle for the 3-D version if someone offered one...I don't have the printer or know-how. Plus, wouldn't I need the original to get the proper specs?

No problems! I definitely understand the preference for having the original parts. Since finding specific parts on older toys can be quite difficult, I figure it's preferable having a 3D printed replacement than nothing at all. Making a part that ends up fitting nicely gives this nice feeling of satisfaction. At least, that's what happened when I managed to make a replacement for the broken bumper of my gobot bug bite.

I would've offered to help with the part, but I don't have access to the tools now. If you go this route and need general advice though (such as for the specs), feel free to send me a PM!

In any case, good luck!

Thanks for the offer to help! You mentioned I can ask for advice on 'the specs'...does that mean you have the Cop-tur rotor part? If that is the case, PM when you have a minute, please. My library has a 3D machine, so maybe I can do it there.

Far from it! If you have the original figure and can find pictures online of it with the rotor, you can get a sense of scale and can start deducing dimensions.
