Hey Guys I brought this guy a while ago. He came with a vam figure a while ago. I have re strung his legs and he does not have the correct lower arms, He is 8" tall and looks very much like a Mego figure. He has two buttons on his back that move his arms. but I wondered if anyone knew who or what he is?? any help would be most appreciated, thanks guys

Looking at Plaid stallion (what would we do without that site??) I'd hazard a guess that your guy is a 'SuperJoe'...

I would use some mego hands or lion rock ones Smile

Here in the States, SJ hands do not exist. I'm not sure what guys are using for replacements, since I trade all my parts and pieces away, Danny may be right, the Mego style hands look like a good option. Ck out the Mego Museum for a possible solution. www.megomuseum.com/
