9296 Astros

Big Jim Astros, Mattel reference 9296, belongs to the futuristic phase of the vintage Big Jim range, released around 1984–1985. Astros serves as the space-combat specialist of the Global Command team, fighting alongside Big Jim against Professor Obb’s Condor Force. The figure uses the familiar Big Jeff-style head with dark hair and is distinguished by its substantial white space helmet and chest equipment, worn over a tan space suit with matching trousers and white boots. The original packaging emphasizes his astronaut role and the science-fiction direction adopted by Mattel during the final years of the line. This Big Jim vintage reference reflects the major stylistic redesign that characterized the later European collection.
