Big Jim's P.A.C.K. II


Big Jim Spy Series (1982)

Agent 004 – Big Jim, with a new secret identity. You know I can't resist the masks or the briefcase you can store them in.
 


Jeff – A professional one eyed 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. I don't know why but these figures that come with a hat, scarf and briefcase is irresistible to me. In space he was known as Dr. Bushido.

 
 
Boris – He looked like a European driver, mostly a soviet soldier, and was originally inspired by Odd Job, 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 a space man.


Dr. Alec – A member of Global Command specialized on jungle and desert missions.

 
Baron Fangg – A longtime 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. Looks like clunky Russian tech.


Vector – An specialist on supersonic fighters and a cosmonaut. He was intended to be Astros' rival. That helmet looks like it restricts all peripheral vision.

DAMMIT! I want a time machine... did you ever see or have the Matchbox series of toys called "M.A.C. Mobile Action Command"... that was my crazy obsession to collect as a kid.

MAC or MASK. I have to look at those I can't remember them off the top of my head.

I just checked those out. They have a great clean design and real world realism. They are a cool little rescue toy and there wasn't alot to collect to have everything.
