Local collection find.

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.

He is fully working just missing the hat, seller sz will look for it.

This is great since I have these in box but now almost have a full set loose. Hoping to land more of these.

Great loose figures, rare to find Steel so.

Great loose figures, rare to find Steel so.

The reason why I bought them all, never see these in my area.

That is why I went and picked up this other figure today, nothing really special but its a 1976 Secret Agent figure that came out in the Spy series.
He is missing his boots and gun, dont know if other parts came with im as of yet.

This guy has been posted for a while but did not like the seller, but ... I wanted the figure so went anyways... lol

Just gathering whats for sale local to me. Even the Ebay Dr Steel was very close to me. That fist buy was amazing with 14 complete figures. Very easy to build a collection with that.

Have to say, i`m having fun while waiting for the next wave of Mego to come out.

I was talking to one of the sellers of the Big Jims I recently bought from and he sent me pictures of his set ups. On certain pictures he had wild animals with his Big Jim figures but these were not from the Big Jim line, so I asked him what those came from. He told me that most animals from the Jumaji line fits perfectly with Big Jim.

One of his pictures had the jeep beside a large Rhino but it was not the Big Jim Rhino that is small in size.

So took a look at sales add to see what was available in the Jumaji and have to say, I hit the Jakpot ! Not only are they everywhere but they are dirt cheap.

Here are some pictures of what Im talking about and from what I picked up this week.

Just though Id share , the tiger, Panther, Lion, bear and Rhino fit really well. The elephant is a bit small. The Hippo is also great.

Just having fun.

I really love those Jumaji jungle animals, they go perfectly with the 8 inch mego’s, Tarzan and Jet Jungle especially.
