I bought these figure pieces from a vendor's stall at a flea market about 10 years ago. They were all scattered around and these were the pieces I could collect. Maybe I didn't see a few parts.

Thanks to my research and those who helped me, I learned that this figure is Tommy Gunn, produced by Zodiac Toys in Hong Kong in 1960.

As you can see, some accessories are missing. In fact, the upper part of his body, which is more important than the accessory, is also missing.

As of yesterday, I felt it was time to put the figure on its feet. The part that I had the most difficulty with while doing the project was the rubber band system.

To briefly talk about the rubber band system, rubber band were actually used to move the joints in many toys from 1930 to the 1980s. These rubber bands can rot or break over time. Since this figure doesn't have any rubber band, I need to reattach the rubber band.

For the upper body part, I removed a piece from another toy and cut off the lower part almost completely, as you can see in the photo.

I will be happy to complete the project in a short time and see this important toy standing.
