A lot of their stuff pops up in job lots.
The flamethrower nozzle had me stumped for months!
I had some as a kid, the backpacks turn up quite regular.

that mortar is definitely Action Force / GI Joe, as it matches the red one from the Enemy Battle Gear. Don't know where you got your black one though.





This reminds me of a point that I meant to mention some time ago Baron.

The enemy weapons packs usually came with a red backpack, red mortar, and black sten gun and SA80 and bazooka.

Well, about a year ago when I was fairly new to re-collecting AF, I bought a lot of weapons packs off ebay and ripped them open for the bazookas to arm up my Shadows.

The enemy weapons packs were pretty much the complete reverse, with the excption of the bazooka.

That is, they had the backpack in black, the mortar in black and the sten gun and SA80 in red.

These were obviously incorrectly packaged using the red guns from the q force pack and the z force infantryman backpack.

I really wish I'd kept one unopened now, but at the time I didn't realise that it was a rare mis-pack.

Never seen any photots of any others about like this since...

Anyway, that 'could' explain the black mortar.

I have a similar dingy, green and red (lucky me) that is very similar, got me buggered where it came from. I was going to do a WTFIT thread, but it could be the same.

You really should have kept them altogether. "Misprints" are all in the AF universe. But 'twas ever complicated as your history relates, gladly.
