That's wicked! I'm going to have to get those. Doing them Secret Wars style was a surprising and inspired choice.

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

I think the bodies look more like the King Arthur and the Nights(?) toy line from the nineties.

IMO, Big Jim IS his body features --- "break the muscle band !!! " --- "karate chop action"
As a 70's kid who LOVED/LOVES Big Jim (pre P.A.C.K.) with a passion i'll pass

MC should have just reproduced the original figures. This is probably going to be a pass for me.
I still remember seeing the original Big Jim figures and clothes while Mego were out back in the 70's. Never did understand why the went 10 inch when G. I. Joe was 12" and Mego was 8 inch. Thanks to my Mom's sewing skills she would take the outfits apart and resew them into Mego size so my brother & I could have more clothes/characters for our figures.

Big Jim was probably the best-designed classic action figure ever, and I would welcome a re-release. It would likely be very expensive, considering the complicated tooling/manufacturing.
But I welcome these homages. Of course, I'm also a huge Pulsar fan.

I think it's very exciting Mattel is digging into their catalog of IPs. It's nice to see Big Jim and MMM getting some love and Pulsar was a very pleasant surprise. I didn't think they'd ever revisit Pulsar. These "testing the waters" homages are good news for fans of those lines. You know I don't think any of this would be going on if Mattel hadn't lost the DC license. This forced them to think out of the box instead of just lazily pumping out the same DC figures and other licensed stuff they'd been doing. Same with MOTU and Monster High. Mattel has some of the most beloved IPs in the industry it's a shame they had been sitting on them so long.

IMO, if Big Jim is released without his classic body he'll be a total flop
