7431 Cow Puncher

Mattel’s Big Jim Adventure Gear: Cow Puncher, reference 7431, was released around 1974–1975, with some packaging also bearing the 7435 assortment number. This vintage Western equipment set transforms Big Jim into a working cowboy prepared for ranch duties and frontier adventures. The confirmed contents are a black cowboy hat, brown belt, brown riding boots, coiled rope and a long brown rifle. No figure or fabric outfit was included, making the molded accessories and simple carded presentation the defining features of the release. The dual numbering reflects Mattel’s use of an individual product reference alongside a broader Adventure Gear assortment code, an important distinction when identifying original packaging within a Big Jim vintage collection.
