Joe, the Big Jim line was smaller (closer to 10 inches in height compared to Joe's 12) and each figure included a push button in his 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 arm was bent. Big Jim was less military-oriented than the G.I. Joe line, with a variety of outfits and situations available including sports, space exploration, martial arts, hunting, and even unusual choices such as fishing and photography.

Basic characters

  • Big Jim - the "basic" good guy leader of the PACK
  • Big Jack - Second in command, African American
  • Big Josh - Effectively Big Jim with a beard
  • Big Jeff - Big Jim's third buddy, also known as Big Joe. 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.

Villains

  • Zorak - A hooded bad guy. He had a face-changing feature where his normal-looking head could be turned into a monstrous green visage. Not to be confused with the unrelated character of the same name from Space Ghost.
  • Iron Jaw - A villain with a metal lower jaw and a prosthetic arm ending in a hook. One of the rarer figures in the series. A similar character with an iron jaw and hook arm, Trap-Jaw, would show up in Mattel's Masters of the Universe action figure line.
  • Captain Drake - An evil hooded pirate. He had a face-changing feature like Zorak and could change his face to a skull.
  • Boris - An evil chauffeur with 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.
  • Professor Obb - A bearded mad scientist.
  • Dr. Bushido - A baddie who wields a glow-in-the-dark katana. Bears a striking resemblance to Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon.
