    Big Jim Repair Videos on Youtube

    I was looking for repair vids and came across this gentleman's channel:


    He does excellent repairs to some of the most common issues with Big Jim figures. From plastic melts, arm recoloring, peg repair/tightening, taking the head on and off. I dont speak Spanish (actually not sure he is speaking Spanish, so excuse my ignorance), but you can put the closed captions on and you'll get the idea on what he is explaining. He mentions he has some kind of tremors issue so his hands shake, but his work and repair quality does not suffer from it at all. He can hand drill a straighter hole than me and I dont suffer from the shakes! I watched about six of his vids and cant believe how helpful they have been on some of the repairs I am setting up to tackle.

    I have been watching Big Jim on YouTube and subscribed to his channel. His videos are helpful. He speaks Italian, but I figured it out, and English closed captions are available on his videos. I purchased my Jim figure on eBay a month ago, but it arrived with worn-out arm joints. I couldn't find the section for repairing the center arm joints, though.
