That's quite a collection Alexander!
You have two Aqua Mission submarines in the box? Those are hard to find!
The LSV and Heligun are nice vehicles! They must be really big.
I have the Special Force kit. It's really nice. I'm thinking I got a second one, But right now I only know where one of them is at.
I don't remember the name of the set, but I have the hunter with the tree stand.
I've always wanted the Jungle Explorer vehicle, but haven't found one I could afford.
The Island X Assault set and the four-wheeler are really nice.
I have two of the tan dune buggies, I got one loose and the other is still in the box. They were marketed here as vehicles for ARAH 12" Joe figures.
I also have Natalie in the box, with Knuck and Redwolf I took out of the box.
That is quite a collection! With most of it in the box! You have some items that a lot of collectors, I'm sure, only dream about.

Perhaps then you'll forgive me for saying that you seem to like the look of a great many of them?

I had to take a closer look to work out what that object to the right actually was!

Do you carry a pistol in your shoulder holster while you're in the shower, Alex?
Or do you carry shampoo and soap in your shoulder holster while you're in the shower?
I'm assuming you do, of course, wear a shoulder holster while in the shower. I believe it is standard operating procedure as outlined in the Action Man Owner-Operator Handbook and Field Guide.
And believe it or not, I did actually check out eBay for Action Man soaps and shampoo a few days ago, after you mentioned this item was a recent find. Surviving examples of this must be somewhat uncommon. Nice acquisition!

Hi Alex..
This is just a quick touch and go...
Hi to all forum members, I hope everyone is doing fine and keeping sane in these crazy times..
Alex..
The Bath & Shower Foam is another unique and very collectable item from the vast Modern Action Man range, it looks like the plastic container can be used in a MAM prop in one of your comic stories. There's tons of MAM stuff to hunt down, some are very unusual, I have a mint Action Man bed set that I'm going to use as a 'MAM Room' wall flag, I also have a MAM light switch that i'm going to install. Did you ever get the Action Man breakfast cereal back in the day? Â Try this cool link to it and other classic cereals: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/75576099969073135/
MAM is an action packed, colourful and nostalgic toy that brought joy to millions and still does.
Best wishes to all.

Yep, ...."High Energy" translated as "cram-packed with sugar"!
Good to hear from you clivvers, ...however brief!

Yes it’s a Bath & Shower Foam so it was right of you to take a closer look to work out what that object was .

No I don’t carry a pistol on my shoulder holster while I’m in the shower Dave and again no I don’t carry shampoo and soap in on my shoulder holster while I’m in the shower but thank you very much for imagining me wearing a shoulder holster while in the shower and believing that it is standard operating procedure as outlined in the Action Man Owner-Operator Handbook and Field Guide. Thanks for your other comments Dave.

Thanks for your thoughts Clive. Yes I definitely remember getting the Action Man breakfast cereal back in the day.

Nice!
I wasn't aware of the green robot until you posted photos.
Great figure.
