    Does anyone have an image of the internal electronics ?
    The soldering on mine wasn't great and 2 wires have come away. I want to make sure im soldering them back into the correct positions.

    I got a MISB one back in 2015, electronics never worked. His eyes would light up for a split second and that was it.

    From the looks of the boards, soldering might not necessarily be a requirement. It would be the best method, but not required. As far as I can tell, the boards actually have holes where the wires go. Just strip the end of the wire a little, shove the exposed bit through the hole, and use a little electrical tape to hold it down in place. Lastly, whatever you do, remember Ghostbusters: DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS! (Or rather in this case, don't cross the lines on the board.) It seems like they provided a ton of breathing room on those boards though.
