9413 Indian Chief

Mattel’s Big Jim reference 9413 is the Indian Chief Outfit, issued in Europe during 1976–1977 and associated with the Big Jim Wild West and Karl May universe. Period documentation presents the outfit on Chief Tankua, giving the character the ceremonial appearance of a tribal chief. The vintage set features a tan fringed tunic and matching trousers with colorful decorative trim, a matching belt and a distinctive feathered chief’s headdress. Boxed examples also show a tomahawk and additional Western-themed equipment. This Mattel reference is notable for appearing in both the classic Big Jim range and Karl May packaging, with regional variations in presentation. The 9413 outfit reflects the detailed Western styling that characterized Mattel’s European Big Jim collection in the mid-1970s.
