BOXED SOLDIER 1977

The most exciting innovation for 1977 was the addition of Action Mans Eagle Eyes and for this there was call for a revamp to the boxes that Action Man would now come in this was started off as always with The Boxed Soldier. There was no change to the uniform except that the jumper was now made from a much thinner cotton and therefore had a much thinner thread.

Now you're on fire!!! I lurve this this would have been the peek of my collecting?

Just having another look Danny. He is fantastic. Is this the box with Tom Stone on the side? Also with his trousers do they have pockets

Wo hoooo I'm feeling excited. Got to move on to the next in my wants list now. Think it'll be an equipment centre carded special operations kit

So here is mine will all the paper work and a bit more. I remember getting the tool box star scheme leaflet as a kid but think it may have come with Tom Stone or the 79 Talking Commander??

Very nice

Great buy Mark

Very smart indeed

Thanks chaps. Love him. Buying on hold for a bit due to other commitments so will be relishing the buys I've made recently.

Mark,

That's a very nice condition Basic Soldier you've got there!      

It was a smart move by Palitoy to include the extras such as, belt, neck scarf and SLR weapon, there was no need to buy any extras to complete the outfit. I've got a small team of fixed eyed Basic Soldiers (rifle squad size) I have one of the thin nylon jerseys knocking about somewhere, the good thing about the nylon jerseys is, they always keep a perfect shape.
