Big Jim

Big Jim P.A.C.K. series (1975-1976)

PACK means Professional Agent against Crime Killers. In this line, Mattel produced figures more oriented towards superheroes and espionage. First boxes were illustrated by Jack Kirby. John Buscema realised a 16-pages PACK comics. Big Jim Leader/Commander, The Whip, Warpath and Dr Steel formed the first P.A.C.K. team. They were joined by Torpedo Fist and Big Jim Double Trouble to face a diabolic enemy : Zorak. Each PACK member had Wolf tatoo on his left hand, boots with PACK track (except Dr Steel), belt buckle with PACK Wolf head

Big Jim By Mattel:

Original Mark Strong the Man (1972)

Mark Strong - Big Jim's former concept - The basic figure dressed in orange shorts with white stripes with karate board, dumbbell and test of strength belt. He was released on Europe only.

Original Big Jim Basic series (1972)

Big Jim - the "basic" good guy leader of the PACK. He was an average Caucasian male with no other distinguishable characteristic, except having a permanent good attitude and joy for life.
Big Jack - One of the first African American characters with friendly attitude which made it into the toys without racial stereotypes.
Big Josh - Effectively Big Jim with a beard. He is one of Jim's best friends, and was supposed to be the tough guy among the group.
Big Jeff - Big Jim's third buddy. A blond who was also Jim's opponent in the Olympic boxing match set, even though both Jim and Jeff are on the American team.
Dr. Steel - He came with a steel right hand and an iron pipe, and a big dragon tattoo on his chest. Most of the time, kids thought of him as being an evil villain for the first series, but it turned out he was also one of the good guys, as he re-appeared as an official member of the P.A.C.K. In other countries he remained as a villain though.
Chief Tankua - Jim's Native American friend. He came with bow and arrow, and was the first character who wears a wolf tatoo, which eventually became the P.A.C.K. image.

P.A.C.K. Series (1976)

Warpath - He is Tankua with a different name. Exactly the same figure.
The Whip - A weapons specialist who masters all kind of weapons. He came with boomerangs, bola and whip, from which he take the nickname. The Whip it's one of the few Big Jim characters know for an alias instead of his real name.
Torpedo Fist - Probably the strangest of all members of the P.A.C.K., he was the only one who had "superpowers". While all other members of the group were normal humans with no other special ability except their agility and normal strength, Torpedo has a telescopic cybernetic arm.

Zorak - A reputed scientist who performed several genetic experiments with his own body, until he finally became a major menace. He's mostly like The Hulk, who transforms into a monster. He was the villain in the P.A.C.K. series. Not to be confused with the unrelated character of the same name from Space Ghost.

Spy series (1982)

Agent 004 - Big Jim, with a new secret identity.
Joe - A professional alpinist who helps agent 004.
Professor O.B.B. - An Asian gentlemen with refined moods and a dangerous profession. His character was created partially based on James Bond's Doctor No.
Boris - He looked like an European driver, mostly a soviet soldier, and was originally inspired by OddJob, from Goldfinger. He has a steel cap on his skull and a fist which could extend from his wrist with a cable. A remarkably similar character named Brocken would later appear in the World Heroes video game series.

Global Command series (1985)

Commander Jim - Big Jim, this time as the leader of an adventure team, a bit similar as the original P.A.C.K., but this time also oriented to spy and space adventures.
Astros - Described mostly as a loyal friend of Jim. He was initially dressed as an space man.
Dr. Alec - A member of Global Command specialized on jungle and desert missions.

Baron Fangg - A long time enemy and rival of Doctor Alec. He was equipped with a "mimetic armor" which allows him to mimic the area around him, like a chameleon.
Vector - An specialist on supersonic fighters and a cosmonaut. He was intended to be Astros rival.
