Lowtown's MAM Figures

Yes, even the gods aren't perfect.

Just kidding, lowtown apparently had bought a few MAM when he was getting back into the hobby in the 90's. Here's his posts about them:

I was very excited in 1996 when the new Action Man range came out.  I was a tiny bit disappointed when I saw them as they weren't as good as the VAM originals, but I still collected quite a few bits and they grew on me.  Even though they're not on display I still have a soft spot for them, and if I see a particularly good (fully jointed) one at a car boot sale or school summer fair I'll buy it.


My favourite, with good play value I felt


Not as good as it looked in the box


I was impressed with this set


The best one, I felt - quite a classy outfit

I liked how every gun had a rocket firing mechanism.  Surprisingly powerful, too.


This periscope actually worked too


The Guys!

I have a few other outfits still awaiting figures.  I'll be checking out the summer fairs and boot sales this year.

Really liking the look of your small collection of Mam you've got they AY, you've got 8 in that group but you never know you might just end up adding to that small Mam collection, well your be adding to that Mam collection if you keep hanging out with RT, myself and Clivvers on chat lol.

All Action Man figures offer equal playability throughout all eras, they're all high quality made items.. MAM is a bit more chunkier and robust It's quite easy to get MAM to do a firing a rifle pose, plus the well articulated MAMs can quite easily be put into a kneeling pose with a bit of careful balancing, something the paintheads had problems with. I like them all! None are inferior to the next, all the numbers add up.

That's a fine assortment of figures lowtown, and nice condition too! Very nice
