Do you guys remember the 12" figure that had a thing on his back that when you pumped it it was like blood pumping through his system ?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

He was called "Pulsar" and I used to have him and some villain with a mask and black arms and legs who had a pinwheel in the chest that sparked when you pumped the back.

Here's Pulsar:

Have them both, but the purple face guy with the mask isn't in the best of shape.

Nice one guys.

Yea this is him !

I remember having him and the bad guy when I was a kid.

Is he hard to come by in decent shape ?

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I also remember having these.

Would not mind tracking them down if possible either.

And I LOVED Big Jim! I was very young at their peak, but I remember my older cousins had practically every single one and all the playsets, including a kick-ass camper!

THAT WAS AWESOME. My cousins used to play with that all day...

I loved the sleekness of the gun and how cool it looked.

i agree. i never had lazer tag when i was a kid but the design was awesome.

Big Jim was a bit before my time, but still some pretty cool figures. An interesting action feature having the biceps actually bulge.

Thanks bro. I am watching two of them right now.

I hope I can find some Big Jim pieces. i was only around 5/6 when they hit I think, so I know I lost the pieces ASAP ! LOL. I had whip for sure. Need to try ad get these back.

Ok, there was another guy like pulsar that had something going on in his arm I think ?

 

[galactiboy]

Any chance you're thinking of the Six Million Dollar Man? Some versions of him had robotic arm parts, and the series was in a similar scale to Pulsar.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Nah, there was another one I thought. LOL. I know SMDM. LOL.

I thought there was another one.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

And there was another one that had something in his eye too. Not six million dollar man.

 

[galactiboy]

Hey man... if you don't know Pulsar I have no expectations of what you're aware of

Is the figure you're thinking of a 12" or smaller scale? I can think of quite a few figures with odd arms.

I know Pulsar, just forgot his name.

No it was 12/13" the one I am thinking of now. Different from Pulsar but similar. Any ideas ?

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Ooohhh another one What was the guy that was in red with a silver arm and bullet helmet ????

Speaking of Big Jim, Im a huge fan and collector of Big Jim. Some pics of my collection. I have a many more in storage, running low on space. Big Jim was before my time, but he was still on sale in the mid 1980s in Europe. Saw some figures on a childhood trip to Italy and I was hooked. The box art is PHENOMINAL!!! And the figs are not to bad also.
Sorry about the dust...Love this thread btw

 

[galactiboy]

Wow... that is one heck of a Big Jim collection
