P.A.C.K Attack

[RSS]

Big Jim's P.A.C.K has always been a grand obsession of mine although space issues forced me to part with much of my collection years ago. The carded outfits (like the SWAT set pictured here) are especially large and hard to display.

The Swamp Boat pictured here is difficult to find especially boxed, there is also a P.A.C.K version of the dune buggy that is extremely uncommon boxed.


For years I used to think of Double Trouble Jim and Zorak as kind of silly but now they're just about my favourites, funny how that works. The face changing effect is strange for Jim because the angry face looks like he's having a heart attack.


This illustration for Torpedo Fist's arm is a little weird, love that airbrushed elbow. The P.A.C.K carrying case has a little locker inside, where no doubt the boys discuss weekend plans before punching out for the day.

Big Jim's P.A.C.K. has always been one of my all time favorite lines EVER!!! Mainly due to Big Jim & Dr Steel (the others are okay). But these two figures have been and still are two of my favorite figs I own.

Thanks for sharing.

Y'know, I've never been a big fan of P.A.C.K., although the gear was cool. I'm a first issue Big Jim fan.

I played with first issue Jim a lot(Click here to see me opening one) but I have almost no nostalgia for it now. I find that weird, the boat and buggy set was all I could think about when I was three....

The P.A.C.K.! Yeah boi! This may have been too little, too late to save the Big Jim line but it sure was nice while it lasted! I loved The Whip and BJ finally got a hand gun (tranquillizer darts my butt!). I actually sold a boxed P.A.C.K. swamp boat back when there were none known to exist for $1000. I have since picked up three more boxed and one loose. I have two of the Whip Buggies but both are loose. I paid $5 for the last one at a toy show this past January and bought a complete Beast camper for $10. Big Jim stuff isn't like G.I. Joe where everyone just automatically assumes it's worth a mint. You can still get some really good deals with a little patience and digging!

I was never into BIG JIM or the P.A.C.K, As a kid they never apealed to me, And with the high prices attached to the P.A.C.K i just as soon pass on them agian as i did when i was a kid, They look nice but i'll be collecting something else
