9492 Olympic Skier

Mattel’s Big Jim reference 9492 was marketed in Europe as the Olympic Skier (“Skieur Olympique”) and is also catalogued as Skier Pro. Dating varies between sources: surviving listings place it around 1976, while specialist database Figure Realm records a 1977 release. The vintage action set equips Big Jim for alpine skiing with a yellow ski suit featuring blue sleeves and striped detailing, a numbered racing bib, yellow helmet with visor, blue gloves and blue ski boots. The equipment includes a pair of blue skis and two matching ski poles. This Big Jim Mattel reference belongs to the sports-oriented collection of the mid-1970s, reflecting the brand’s extensive range of realistic athletic outfits and accessories developed for the 10-inch figure.
