Gemmy MLB Buddy Big League: St. Louis Cardinals (both logo sizes)

Obtaining a Large Logo version that was actually shipping compatible was more harder than it needed to be.. But I finally did and got this one back in June 2024. It was new in box but since all these are 22 yrs old now and this one being a type 1, they've become way too brittle to handle shipping it seems. The upper body was horribly yellowed and a lot of it snapped off despite still being zip tied to the protector. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as the V1 Angels, but I still had to remove most of that upper area to fix it. Also while replacing the gear in he head and swapping the mouth pulley. The box also needed some cleanup and recoloring but looks much better.
The Small Logo version I got way back in March of 2018 as a unexpected replacement for a model 2 Devil Rays I got scammed on... this one was new in box too and since it was hot outside the day it arrived I actually got to see the mouth actually WORK fresh out of the box... for a moment... So that needed to be fixed and all was good there, following a head gear replacement, and a uniform cleaning 3 years later.

Excellent restorations. I like that they have red belts too.

Has any of your buddy big leagues have a snapped mouth?
