Big Jim
Biography
Big Jim is a brand of an action figure line produced from 1972 through 1986 by Mattel for the North American and European markets. He was renamed "Kid Acero" in Latin America and, for a short period of time, "Mark Strong" (not to be confused with the actor) in Europe. Originally inspired by G.I. Joe, the Big Jim line was smaller in size (closer to 10 inches 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. The action figure's arms were made of a soft plastic/vinyl material and contained a mechanism that simulated the bulge of a biceps when the elbow was bent. Big Jim was less military-oriented than the G.I. 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.
