I'm really getting into the Action Man side of AF at the mo.

I've got more on the way, but here is the Big Fella in all his glory.

I loved this AM as a kid....

Nice Paul! Is he old or the anniversary ones? I'd love a few more of these.

He's 40th anniversary Steve.

I sold all my original AM when I was about 15 for a tenner. I was pleased with that at the time. Gutted by it now...

I've ordered another 7 [!] of these 40th figures.

Have a mild addiction for them at the mo....

heh, hell yeah, I'm on 3 so far and planning to get a total of 8 :)

SAS Trooper
SAS Paraattack
Grenadier Guard

and then planning;
Solider
German Stormtrooper
Mountain Rescue
Polar exploaration
Deep Sea Diver

I reckon 2 shelves, with 4 on each should look awesome!!!!

Am tempted by the Commander now though :)

Dave.

I wanted a Deep Sea Diver as well Dave, but he's sold out and now sells for stupid money.

The last 2 on ebay in the last 2 weeks each went for over £200 quid!

Shame...

what? Holy crap, you could buy a vintage for that probably!!!

bummer, ok, up for discussion, I was looking to balance it out, with 2 SAS, 1 Solidier and 1 German Stormtrooper as the troops on one shelf, then a look at the diversity and colour on the next with a Grenadier Guard, Mountain rescue, Polar exploration and.....?

Any ideas anyone?

gotta balance out, the OCD in me can't have odd and even over two shelfs ;)

Yep, they sold for more than the vintage originals - madness!



I'm hoping some of AM's will turn up tomorrow or weds.

I'll post some pics when they do, might help sway your decisions Dave!

Although all of my have mini-me AF versions to go stand next to them for company.

Those final Assualt figures were really cool,especially with the prototype SA80's and the futuristic uniforms.
