    Big Jim, Big Playsets



    The smell of that vinyl is forever ingrained into my brain as happiness. Also, I did grow up thinking I'd have my own personal "Kung Fu Studio"

    Of all the Big Jim stuff I've ever had (and I've had quite a bit) I've never seen that handle/diaper thing.

    Do you push a button and it makes him kick ?

      Cindy had the Barbie version of "Sky Commander" for several years before selling it.

          I never had the Kung Fu studio but for my birthday I remember getting the Big Jim in that outfit, the Muscle Mover and the accessories (breakaway table, board to break in half, etc.). I'm guessing they must have been sold separately from the studio as well.

          That was the theory behind the "Muscle Mover", although from what I recall it didn't work very well so I rarely used mine.

            If he kicks a hole in the wall each time he practices, he won't have a studio for long.

              But he'll also be ready.

                I was just thinking that looked really familiar.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  The Kung Fu studio is a repurposed Barbie Cottage apparently.

                      I bought a beater version on ebay and scanned it in to reproduce it in my Hall Of Justice workout room. I have never seen the airplane but did run across the Barbie version at a yard sale but some girl really wanted it so I let her get it instead.

                        I have the camper, the studio, the jet, the safari truck, the safari hut (which is repurposed from a Skipper playcase and might be my favorite Big Jim accessory ever), and the Spy Secret HQ (aka Dreamhouse w/ elevator).

                        I'm customizing the early-issue Barbie Dreamboat so that Big Jim also has a Chris Craft boat for cruising and rescue. I can't say I haven't considered the Dreamhouse A-frame as well, but they are $$$.

                            He can kick a hole in a wall but can he dodge a wrench?

                              I think it's the Barbie country living home. The roof is the give away.
