I was always impressed because he wore combat boots without socks and it never seemed to slow him down. |

I believe this one is Action Sailor, not Action Soldier. |

I had him. Also the Tommy. They also had a German and Japanese model, though I didn't have either despite my letters to Santa. Was there a Soviet? |

I would argue it is GI Joe, just in a sailor uniform, I had the large version ( This looks like it is) and had the Scuba diving suit as my dad was a avid scuba diver. |

We had Action Man in the UK. Same idea, slightly less camp over here. Mine was an Operation Nimrod SAS trooper (but with the wrong colour hood, he had black instead of grey) This is what we call a wind-up in the UK, to upset our cousins currently in rebellion against the Crown. GI Joe was not camp…not in the least. |

Probably one of the best toys ever. Sadly this was before my time. |

Yes, they had a Soviet. Best part was a fur hat, along with the flared breeches. Also French Resistance fighter with beret and turtleneck sweater, Japanese. The only Australian came unarmed with the jeep model. I had 8 Germans, what I called a patrol. I went through two mc w/ sidecar combos, both wound up victims of the basement stairs. |

Yes, they had a Soviet. Best part was a fur hat, along with the flared breeches. Well yes, but … I think the best part was the DP28 "Record Player" LMG he came with. To this very day, more than 50 years after the last time I saw him, I can still see the magazine from that DP28 in my mind's eye, almost as if I had a photographic memory. And the fur hat, to be sure. So maybe the fur hat was the better part. Hard to say. Maybe I'm just fixated because I've managed to acquire a "fish-fur" ushanka in my years on this earth, but I have still never set my hands on an actual DP28 magazine. -Mark (aka: Mk 1) |
