He's back: MoD launches own 'Action Man'
Remember the old Action Man ? Well , he's back..
The Ministry of Defence is launching its own range of similar toys to fill the void, brought bang up to date and modelled on the Armed Forces of 2009.
Senior commanders who gave their blessing to the project are hoping that the highly-detailed figures will capture the imagination of a new generation of children and help boost the profile of the hard-pressed Armed Forces.
Armed and ready: The new Action Man-style figures issued by the MoD boast extraordinary attention to detail
I'm off to get the new Royal Marine, which can kick the s##t out of a Green Beret.. :)
Royal Marine against Green Beret - No Contest
SAS against Navy Seals - Pfffffft..
Action Man aginst G.I Joe with the Kung Fu grip ... Forget it...
Where's RP ??
so they will always be beaten by the Brits.
Unless its a real war , where the yanks just hose down all their allies ! :P
"A man may fight for many things.His country,his friends,his principles,the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child.
But personally,I'd mud wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a sackful of porn."

And Action man could beat GI Joe ANYDAY, one hand tied behind his back an with a leg missing after bein chucked out the upstairs window repeatedly on active service.
Blimey, such a long time ago.....:(

Wow ,,,,, I got the first action man when they first came out in the 60s, I had the talking one ,then got the one with the lifelike hair. The paratrooper kit never worked though cos everytime I lobbed him out the upstairs window his chute failed to open.
Having a nostalgic interlude here , apologies.
