Biggest Action Figure without a Cartoon/TV/Movie Tie-in?
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 agree that 60s and 70s Joe should win this, but OP did rule them out completely in the post. Captain Action is a maybe if he were really a separate line but he is more a product of his costumes and all of them were licensed properties with media tie ins. If anything, he is the King of Media tie ins. I think Matt, Jim, and Johnny have this contest. Multiple characters and accessories, playsets, outfits, vehicles.
Pulsar and Hypnos might be the best or biggest stand alone action figure line after the Bionic line. Was Gre-Gory the Bat part of the line? Shortly after that, the laws about tv cartoons and toy lines eased and it was all HeMan and TMNT and RAH after that. I think Final Faction feom Dollar Tree might be the only current line that. I know they have one episode of a house made cartoon but it is more like a long commercial to me since it is just the one episode.
I’m not sure I understand the question? but I was going to say Mego’s Action Jackson, I don’t ever remember a movie or tv show of AJ back in the day? Its certainly not the biggest but pretty much all the other megos made had either a tv show-movie or animated series or comic book done before during and after.
I know there was a movie later on called Action Jackson with Carl Weathers and Vanity I think? but it did not refer in any way to the action figure. My apologies if I misunderstood the question.
I mentioned earlier, and no one else has commented on it, but how long did the Fisher Price Adventure People line last and how many different figures figures/sets/vehicles were released for that line of action figures?

Fisher Price Adventure People and Barbie are maybe the two biggest examples given so far.
sorry guys. I thought thread said cartoon/tv/movie and didn't realize comic books fell into that category. disregard my ignorance for confusing printed comics with moving media

I don't know? I never played with them, but I have seen pictures of them. Did the figures even have names? Or were they just generic terms, like "Construction Worker."
