9258 The Leader

Big Jim The Leader Gold, Mattel reference 9258, belongs to the P.A.C.K. crime-fighting series introduced in the mid-1970s. Sources disagree slightly on its dating: specialist Big Jim databases list reference 9258 in 1975, while other action-figure archives date the release to 1976, so a 1975–1976 period is the safest attribution. This vintage version presents Big Jim as the leader of the P.A.C.K., distinguished by his gold-colored trousers. The boxed Mattel figure includes a dark sweater, trousers, boots, belt, wrist communicator, pistol and sling holster, with instructions and stickers also documented as original contents. Reference 9258 reflects the espionage and action-oriented direction that defined the Big Jim P.A.C.K. collection during 1975–1976.
