    I collect pre-PACK Big Jim stuff..or I used to anyways. I like the PACK concept, but I preferred Jim as a sportsman extraordinaire.

      my husband and I are Big Jim collectors, but much like the good Captain here, I'm a bigger fan of the All Star sports Big Jim.

      My husband is the PACK-man.

          I like the PRE-Pack Jims

          I'm a huge fan of Jim's "golden" age

            I dug the sportsman thing as a kid very much but the P.A.C.K absolutely blew my six year old mind. As an adult, I simply focus on the PACK stuff but I think it's all pretty neat. My favourites being the Mexican "El Squadron Lobo", love the Sci Fi angle with the characters.

              I loved the P*A*C*K* figures when I was a kid. I would love to see this line re-issued.

                I always wanted the Big Jim PACK toys as a child. Those ads in the Comics for this line just made them seem so exciting to me. Never got them, but not really sure why. I don't think it was the price point - I just must not have been sending the right messages to my parents. Don't tempt me with another great line to collect. I imagine they are tough to come by in good condition.

                  I have alot of the early Jim's in the Box. First and second edition Big Jims (boxed) ; Big Josh (Boxed); Big Jeff complete loose; Big Josh Eagle set complete lose; Olympic Big Jim loose; Dr. Steel (boxed), Zorak (boxed); Torpedo Fist loose; and Tarzan (Biff Jeff with black hair) loose. I also have the Camper boxed and the Beast truck loose. I have a few outfits still on card and alot of lose outfits stored. I loved this series when it first came out and wish they would bring that body style back. I think it's a classic.

                      I think they are wicked cool but I especially like the later Space, Spy and Pirate Big Jim series.
                      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...

                        Fan of the Whole line of Big Jim. I have a few in my collection now and still want to build it up. It was second only to my Megos. I liked that I could change and buy different outfits for him.

                              I never really got into Big Jim. I had friends who liked it though.
