KFG comparison!

Another collector about the different variety of KFGs/Gripping hands for Joes. MY own collection has 5 main types: vintage Joe KFGs, VAM Grippers, Geyperman KFGs,  Cotswold/Takara KFGs and "Kung Pow" hands.

Cotswold KFGs. These are copies of the Takara Combat Joe KFGs:
Wide grip, but can harden after just a few years.





Vintage KFGs, Joe vs. VAM:

Hope you enjoyed the pics!

Awesome pics and info...

I have a question... The rivet that holds my Cotswold KFG hands to the peg
keeps popping out. (Brand new hands)
Can I heat up the hands with hot water or hot hair dryer and remove those
rivets and replace them with other pegs.
