        Great video! I enjoyed your enthusiasm while talking about it. I didn't play with Big Jim as a kid because I was into GI Joe Adventure Team. But, as an adult, I now have a small Big Jim collection among other things like most of you. My favorite playsets are the airplane, the camper, and the Safari Hut. I did have the Kung Fu Studio at one time, but I was never into Karate as a kid or adult, and my set was missing the accessories so there wasn't much play fun without them. Plus it took up a lot of space, so I decided to downsize and sold it.

          The white bench is not included in the American version.

            I have a beater version of the gym packed away. This was a great idea of a playset.

                My brother and I each had these - they were on clearance at Two Guys, I think, for like 2 bucks each, so my dad got one for each of us. I had Big Jim and Big Jack, while my brother was all about Dr. Steel.
                "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                    What a great video, and I'm so glad you FINALLY got that childhood grail piece. Even happier it lived up to the hype. It looks like a ton of fun! I appreciated the "Kung-Fu Craze" history as well.
