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.

, Marvel Legends were more articulated than Palitoy
, but does that deserve a comparison?
: 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.
