First off, thanks for the warm welcome fellas.

Oh, I've seen tons of color variations from the '86 stuff moving forward. Airedevon's collection videos have shown me so much. The guys over at JoeDeclassified also have a bunch of the color variations. I'm in no place financially to even start looking at that stuff...

So far, I've only "converted" a Hiss, Fang, Moccasin, Asp, and Claw. From what I can tell, there isn't any difference between the UK releases and the original US versions. The only legitimate Action Force item I have is the black and camo MMS.

And yes, I'm interested in the vehicles you mentioned above, along with just about everything else... I'm not in a huge hurry, but I'll get there.

Welcome aboard! I always love seeing fellow americans into the AF stuff. The palitoy asp is a lighter color from what I've seen, though I'm not sure about the others.

My US ASP looks identical to my UK one. I think the only difference is in the Whale from the 84 range.

Welcome Brian!

I think the guns and threads are coloured a slightly lighter shade on the UK HISS, but I wouldn't let it bother you.

I believe a lot on minor changes were made in the plastics & thier colours for the European toys, but to be honest, most are so minor it's not worth worrying about...besides more 'n' more variations seem to come to light week after week, you'd go :dizzy: trying to keep up.
