Go Exploring with BIG RED!

Go Exploring with BIG RED!

Big Red is one of those wonderful toylines that was created specifically for a catalog, in this case the Speigel catalog. A mix of Big Jim and GI Joe, I’ve had many folks tell me about having Big Red as a kid but honestly, I’ve never seen one as a collector.


He kind of looks like Dr. Benton Quest.

    What an interesting action figure. Doesn't seem to be any information about him online. It looks like the pictures use two different bodies, the majority of them look to be on Mego's Fighting Yank body, but the one in the green suit, the arms at least are Mattel's Ken.
