Here are some new finds I purchased in December. The Capture Copter is Action Man and arrived from England in less than a week. I also picked up a headless commander from the same store. Both were ridiculously cheap. Even with shipping. The two black muscle body figures are Geyperman but purchased from Cotswold. They have a limit of 2 per customer. I'll eventually find some AT heads of the Adventurer, and will put them on brand new perfect bodies. It's hard to see but I also picked up one of Cots's black "Jake" heads and a mounting screw for the Desert Jeep extra wheel.

Nice pickups Myles! I saw the capture copter, but I have the original AT copter I still need to clean up. Did the decal sheet come with the copter? And does the commander talk?

Daryl, the sheet was from Cotswold. Not with the copter - which I got from an English online store. https://www.retrogradetoysandcollectibles.co.uk/ The commander does talk but it's faint and fast. I'm told he is an AT Commander. I will tinker with the voice and see whether I can improve it. He also has one floppy arm I will fix. I'll be going to the Kentucky show to find some heads and other parts I need.

I saw the copter at that site after the link was posted at The Trenches. Incredible price! I've never seen one less that $200 here. But I don't have the room for it, and I still need to fix up the yellow one I have. I bet the decals are made by Bobby Horne of AA Designs. They are top notch, professionally made and as good as the originals.
