Big Jim and Pulsar return in 2022... sort of

[MIB41]

Mattel Creations has announced that 2022 will see the return of Big Jim and Pulsar, only in smaller form. Its an interesting direction, but perhaps this is to gauge demand for a more direct recreation later? Figures and toes crossed. This would be the dream of a lifetime. Note there's also a Matt Mason in the mix.

Wow! Very pumped for those!

I do not understand the choice of figures. These were popular because they were the basically a different version of G.I.Joe. So why go what looks like Secret Wars or classic MOTU style action figure? They could have gone 3 3/4 inch classis G.I. Joe or gone 8 inch ReMego style?

A photo of these surfaced a few months back, glad to see them see release!

Wow! Very pumped for those!

Is this an April Fools joke?! Please say no.

It is not, my friend owns the factory samples, they're legit.

The art on the packaging is enough to make me look forward to collecting the line. But I think the figures look great, too.

Wow, using the Secret Wars buck is an interesting angle. Reminds me of how Mattel used the Big Jim tooling for the DC Mego-Like figures a few years back. Mattel never throws anything away!

Nice to see the Kirby Big Jim PACK art on that box too!

All the bodies are stamped Mattel 2020.

^Oh, that's interesting. Are these the same size as Secret Wars? I know another company is using that buck (or one based on it) for the Amazing Heroes line of (mostly) public domain comic characters in the original scale.
