wow, glad it's something new
I thought the legs were US para, but not having one to hand when looking, I wasn't able to say one way or another.
Sadly the figure will never be for sale, to anyone, as really odd as this sounds, but it belongs to The Queen as part of her heritage estate of toys. When Palitoy had the plug pulled by General Mills, they effectivley donted what was left to the Crown.
I've been very lucky to be given access to their archives as part of the research for the Star Wars book, although I can look, I cannot take anything outside their grounds, and anything sealed, even by a staple it is forbidden to open - even if they have no idea what the item is.
Although this (and Star Wars stuff) is gobsmacking to see, it kind of pales into insignifficance when you are surrounded by pricless rocking horses, dolls houses etc etc
There were several other prototypes there, that was the coolest, but this was what got me thinking about doing a second book, almost in tandum with the Star Wars one, but about Palitoy's involvement with Action Force up to 85.
I have very little in the way of an Action Force collection, so hoping to make new friends/ contacts who might be able to assist
