He may have faded from our toy shelves in the 1970s but in Europe, Big Jim was still kind of a big deal.
How big a deal? In this 1984 Mattel Italy catalog, Big Jim has as many pages as Masters of the Universe.
By this time, the Big Jim line is firmly set in the future with flashy villains, sci-fi heroes, giant play sets and transforming vehicles. It is one of the most underrated and attractive action figure lines of our life times.

More Big Jim than you can handle!

ReplyDeleteI just bought one of those 1980's Italian Big Jim figures on Ebay. It cost a bit but was worth it. The grip hands are especially nice.
