              2 Big Jims
              Big Jack
              Big Josh
              Big Jeff
              Dr. Steel (renamed Ironhand, but I had to replace his broken silver hand w/ a plain one)
              Warpath (renamed BlackHawk)
              The Whip (renamed Big John)

                  I assume you mean the retro heroes stuff...well, since those are 8" and Big Jims are 10", that wouldn't work out too well.

                    You know, I'm actually surprised Mattel didn't bring back Big Jim this year in the Retro Action line.
                    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 am back on a mini Big Jim kick -- I just picked up a nice Big Jack and I am looking for a Big Jeff in nice shape.

                          mini Big Jim
                          I don't know why, but mini Big Jim made me laugh. I imagined a tiny 3 3/4" figure of him. I have my Big Jim from my childhood. I had the Karate, the Baseball and the Football outfits. Poor Jim hit one too many Karate boards, though, as his hand snapped off mid-70's
                          It's all good!

                            I'm surprised they haven't brought back the body for other figure lines. One of the better bodies made in the 70's and still holds it's own today.
