Description: Inspired by 1/6 scale Joe figures, the Big Jim was a line of action figure toys produced from 1972 to 1986. The Big Jim line was smaller in size (closer to 10' in height compared to Joe's 12') and each figure included a push button in the back that made the character execute a karate chop action. Each figure's arms were made of a soft vinyl material that contained a mechanism that simulated bulging biceps when the elbow was bent. Big Jim was less military-oriented than the Joe line, having more of a secret agent motif, but also had a large variety of outfits and situations available including sports, space exploration, martial arts, hunting, western, camping, fishing, and photography.
