Big Jim for 1972

[David Lee]

Max Steel just doesn't cut it for me or other Big Jim collectors.

Yea it was likely just a placeholder as not to lose the Trademark... but time is ticking again and they better get back on it... I figure it will likely be just more Max Steele junk

Never had any Big Jim stuff. I do think I remember asking for it at some point and I do remember all the ads and catalog pics. I don't recall any of my friends having Big Jim either. We all had GI Joes & Megos mainly.

Big Jim rocks. And the All Star line is a pretty inexpensive line to collect.

I found it funny that Mattel reused so much stuff from the Big Jim line for Barbie.
I mean, the camper? Released for Barbie. The lazervette? Molded in pink for Barbie. The muscle arms? Put on Sport & Shave Ken! Yes, it made him look weird, but at least he could hold a racket!

I think the the most interesting Re-use of the Big Jim figure was with Grizzly Adams. I have both him and his Indian buddy, Nikoma, still in the box.
