Action Force was now a modern, crack military team consisting of four separate units. On land - SAS Force and Z Force. At sea - Q Force. In outer space - Space Force. Their enemies were the terrorist organisation the Red Shadows, led by the evil Baron Ironblood and his deputy the Black Major. Many of the second wave figures were made from the same moulds as the original run (hence, the Red Shadows looked a little like the German Stormtroopers) and moulds were also borrowed from the American GI Joe range of toys, made by Hasbro.
