These look great Paul, but please stop making me want to buy stuff !!

Did you not manage to get a Deep Sea Diver ?

Cheers Andy.

Did you not manage to get a Deep Sea Diver ?

No, I do have him, but its a bit of a dilemma.

If I sell it mib on ebay I'll get around £150 for it which would be a big help in paying off the £2.2K outlay.

I'm mulling him over. I think I'll sell him unopened and try and pick up a loose one on feebay.

Paul, Wow! This collection is coming along great!!!
Thank so very much for posting pictures!

You are so lucky to be able to be doing this now with the 4oth anniversary sets - When I started (way back in the day the only ones available were vintage - and it took me forever to find them! And often I would have to buy multiple sets of the same uniform so that I could piece together a decent looking one

Yours look so crisp and clean and spruced up!!!!
I am amazed at how awesome they look! Very nice, indeed!

Take care!
Aire

Looking great Paul.

Are you sticking to eagle eye only? I've tried to as that is what I have the most connection with from childhood.

Some great mixing and matching going on there too, I've kinda done something similar with an Adventurer looking great in the commando cap, a green annorak, sipping tea from the stove

For the most part, yes, for the same reaons as you. Its what I had a kid and what I think of as an 'Action Man'.

I've just run out of the ee's so I'm using a few '70's flocks.

But I much prefer the ee.

Really not keen on the painted heads though...

[Dave Tree]

I know what you mean, I just can't get to 'grips' with painted heads or hard hands

a really nice collection, reminds me so much of my childhood it's shocking, i haven't owned an action man for 25 years now, i'm beginning to wish i had one or two maybe even three,
