Thanks for the tip.

it seems most arms change color over time. They don’t seem damadged in the least just color change. Might be the plastic itself.

just happy that some repairs can be done to them. This way if I see more figures for dirt cheap missing a limb, will buy them to complete other figures.

i was avoiding them in the past thinking that they could not be repaired.

I was going thru my batch and noticed that some of my figures had gripping hands. This normal ?

Big Jim lasted much longer in Europe than in the US--until 1986 IIRC. The gripping hands were introduced for that market, through companies like Congost in Spain. And, there were several BJ sub-lines unique to Europe that featured the gripping hands.

thank you for the info ! Really need to learn more on theses figures.

started reading on here and found out the Tarzan figure had gripping hands but my figures are not Tarzan.

will continue to research the subject.
