Sweet jesus man, stop it. They look damned brilliant. I have an original of the guy on the right, pretty sure that was my first AM.

The SAS gear is just amazing.

Cheers Mark, I have a feeling it could get a bit out of hand! I do like the SAS Stuff too.

SO true...

They look totally lovely Paul.

We share more than just our names as I am exaxctly the same!

You need to get a nude figure and get that SAS pilot all dressed up though.

Been looking at that too!! The suit doesn't come with boots! I'm sure I'll get some of the Bay as well though.

It's uncanny that the majority of the stuff I sold is available through the 40th set, I think I'm really just trying to buy back those parts of my childhood which I foolishly sold.

On a guilt trip I've just been to the model shop and bought "the Boss" a Corgi diecast Lysander, she collects those.

I, Paul, am a size 10. Close enough though!

Speaking of shoes:

I've got a spare pair of Action Man boots that your welcome to if you want them?

Very surprising that the SAS pilot doesn't come with any footwear.
