Blood for the Baron!

here are the cardbacks for the Action Force run starting with the first release of swivel arm figures from the Palitoy era

It's great seeing all of these together. still think the Series 2 stuff is the best IMHO.

Hey Paul, did I send you that pm about the minesweeper?

Still series 3 for me, Firefly, Storm Shadow, Scrap Iron, Snow Job and The Baroness, all fantastic figures. Always thought it was a shame that some of the earlier US figures never got released here, Zap, Clutch and Grandslam to name a few.

Hi Gavin,

just had a quick look and can't find anything about it.

I was a bit older when the series three stuff came out. I did get a Zartan and swamp skier as well as a Roadblock I think he was my last AF purchase. Which was intact until recently, I snapped the post that the Tripod of his MG attached to his back pack.... Bugger

Series 3 is my fave of the AF stuff. Earlier figures were released as Action Men in NZ, my first figure was Toltoys Breaker. Only have his equipment left Will replace him one day.

Thanks for the card backs mate, that will make it a lot easier to finish the catalogues. Once I'm done colouring these 2 strips I'll jump back into it as well as another "Special" pet project

Cheers

Lovely stuff! Of course, the Palitoy cardbacks look so much cooler than the Hasbro ones in my view. Looking at all these in sequence, it's amazing how you can cleary see the degeneration of the line as the cards progress through the years!
And that motorised ATV that Shockwave is sitting on is hilarious!

Yup couldn't agree more. Seeing the series 3 card back actually makes me think about collecting these MOC.

it does get a tad expensive. But well worth it.

Reckon I've got between 6-8 months before there will be closer scrutiny of my ebay habits..... Will do the best I can by then

Unfortunately my six to eight months started in May/June time. My egg timer just ran out....
