Out of interest, has anyone come across, or have in their collection, other Action Force toy displays? Or any Toy Store point of sale?

As for the glove, I think that is more to do with the painting, unless they were developing the character to have a nervous sleeve pulling tick or something? :)

And thanks for the better Boffin pic, is he wearing half-gloves or is it poor printing, do you think?
its only on one hand ? I think its a dodgy paint job.

that display is fantastic, what I wouldn't do for something like that
You're not kidding, there was some really nice Star Wars stuff I'd give my right arm for, but also some amazing things like Action Man prototypes etc too, it was kind of like a frustrated cross between hitting the jackpot and being in the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but not being allowed to really do more than look at it.

And Jonesy here on the forum recently sold this one to those blasted Americans [the guy outbid me...]:

Man that diorama!!!! Wow! Maybe the figure was that start of a new force, just with Special Weapons Scientist on the bag it gets you thinking! There is never a dull moment here always something to get your imagination running riot!

Man - my PC goes down for a day or so (Disc check took over 36 hours to scan my hardrive!!!!) and I miss all of this fun!

I want a scientist!!! Ace beard! Question is Andy - are you going to give yours a half glove, or paint it better than the original!

And I cant believe the Queen has the start of a collection! Lets hope she doesn't get hooked, otherwise she'll be outbidding even JohnGIJoe for the Red Shadows!

One is amused! What's her user name going to be? Lizzie2 perhaps!

I'd love to go and visit this place too.
