Torpedo Fist Trading Card

[RSS]

The final new card is Torpedo Fist, one of my favourite action figures as a kid mostly because, he could punch other action figures!
I didn't plan on doing two Big Jim characters so close together but when Livio from Bigjim.es put this image on the fourm, it was just too tempting not to.

As an added bonus, I've put some images of the origin of Torpedo Fist from the back of his box. It's not the most logical story in the world but it all made perfect sense to me then.

I always wanted a Torpedo Fist as a kid, but never got one. He's one of my favourite US Big Jim figures, just something about him is so cool. It was great fun reading that origin story, as silly as it is.

I find it funny that the P.A.C.K job interview is bashing down a door and telling a wild story. "No background checks for you!"

It's part of the charm though.

Hi Brian...very great trading card and great figure the Torpedo Fist!
Like I already wrote is one of my favourite figures in Big Jim series. I'm really bound it 'cause I received it as a gifts during a bad time of my life, when I was a little child and had some health problems, fortunately resolved.
I love the bad figures of the P.A.C.K. ... in Italy they are described like "bad guys" in the catalog, not friends of Big-Jim.
This is a piece of the italian catalog:

The strange think is about italian define of the P.A.C.K., called GRUPPO D'AZIONE (group of action) and the other strange thing is about the fact Dr.Steel, Whip and Torpedo Fist are define like enemies of Big-Jim in the catalogs but friends in the ads.
You can see here an ad:

That ad's so killer Livio, I might have changed the Doctor Steel had it not already gone to press.

How does one get the new card? I have been trading a couple of years here, and I still am uncertain of how to actually get the new cards. Anyone got one to spare?
