Not a Blackadder fan?

It was the torture device from the end of series one.

Nice A.M connection too, thats the guy ( the late Patrick Allen) who did the voice overs for a lot of the vintage Palitoy ( & many other including the Everest double glazing) adverts.

Agreed, there's obviously a market for it otherwise the HM Armed Forces figs wouldn't have been released. This round of Action Man seems more intent on making you buy the boxed figures rather than any accessory packs as most of the boxed figures have specific items moulded onto them or moulded on clothes. Hasbro could've made a mint releasing proper army uniforms for new Action Man figures.

Yes it's my little labour of love. In the long run I want every figure, every accessory, book, etc on there and categorized and searchable in a database like a giant version of YoJoe's Whobit.
