For Christmas in 1972, Mattel offered gay boys their own male stripper doll:
Big Jim was supposedly a secret agent of some kind -- he had various spy outfits -- but it was a lot more fun to pose him in his pink underwear and watch his biceps bulge. If you were lucky enough to get his friends, Big Jack (black), Big Josh (bear), and Big Jeff (twink), you could host a pool party, or else have the evil Dr. Steel tie them up in pairs and force them to kiss.
I don't know what the straight boys were supposed to do with them

I had lots of G I Joes but never Big Jim- love this commercial in which Big Jim and Big Josh become friendshttps://youtu.be/6bJWW9RtnxM
