9614 Big Jim Parlant

This Big Jim Global Command Talking Figure was released by Mattel during the mid-1980s Global Command era, around 1984–1985. The French packaging identifies it as “Big Jim Parlant – Avec émetteur de messages”, reference 9614. Big Jim appears in a burgundy roll-neck top and dark trousers, equipped with the distinctive Global Command communication backpack featuring an antenna and pull-cord mechanism. Pulling the cord activates recorded secret messages, reinforcing the espionage and international-agent theme developed for the Global Command collection. The box also specifically announces an included mission pass. With its electronic-style field transmitter and interactive talking feature, this Mattel Big Jim vintage reference represents one of the more technologically themed releases from the later European Big Jim collection.
