Was anyone here upset by the introduction of the Shadows and Teams over the mini Action Men, or was it generally viewed as a step in the right direction?
I wasn't upset about that transition as from what I remember in Wigan's Toy & Hobby the Series 1 AF figures were being sold but the teams and Shadows weren't or the series 2 figures always sold out but I was more confused by both being called Action Force.

DAMartin wrote:No offence, but I don't see the point of this thread; if you consider Palitoy :af: and Hasbro :af: as complementary like me, then you must think that neither both :baron2: nor :cobracommander: was released with the articulations of the other, so to get them both you must appreciate both types of articulation. If you think about both as different collections, then why are you comparing them? Super Powers were less articulated than Hasbro :af: , Marvel Legends were more articulated than Palitoy :af: , but does that deserve a comparison?

:flagg: : Dismissed.
I with you, I like both in their own right and for different reasons, but then again, I like most toys.

Palitoy strikes a strong chord for me, but given the option, I would have probably plummed for Palitoy Star Wars over Palitoy Action Force historically. However since working on all the research though, I have a deeper appreciation of all the product lines, not just those two.
