This is the latest in a series (of indefinite length and regularity) of blog posts memorializing cancelled toys. Our subject today is Playmates' Earthworm Jim "Copterhead Jim".
Part of the planned Series 2 (shown off at Toy Fair 1996), this figure was wearing a fight suit with a harness. All the EWJ figures had action features, and judging by the name this one would have been spinning his head, like when he hovers himself down to the ground in the games.
He also would have included his little sidekick, Snott, in a flight cap and goggles.
