I loved the 'Fighting Furies' figures. They had neat features like the ability to actually throw a knife at other figures. I kept the glow-in-the-dark pirate in my room's light fixture so it acted as a nightlight after the room got dark.
The big Jim PACK figures are on my Grail List. I had a plethora of Big Jim stuff as a kid also.

Wow, a fun trip back. I had the Space:1999 module. It had a sticker sheet to add colours; otherwise it was just all blown plastic. Thnks for the flshback..!
To this day, Space:1999 (1st Year) is still my all-time favorite television show. This LARGE Mattel set was a HUGE holy grail since the day I first saw it back in '76.
I FINALLY picked it up a decade ago, added some superbly detailed custom stickers from this Canadian Modeler's site, and it simply rocks in my home. Most collectors customize it quite a bit more with repainting, changing parts, etc to add realism. To me, it's still a toy. albeit a great one.
It easily is well worth the investment.
I feel the same way about those Eagles. I loved the way they put some thought into the real life science behind actually making one. They are beautiful.
I had that 12" Warpath figure...most probably from SEARS.
