Hi all . I got this set sometime ago , I think it`s quite a rarity I have only seen it once before in someone's collection many moons ago . I think it`s an old power team release but can not be sure , of that or weather it`s a 100 % complete . Regardless I think it`s a very cool set , I swapped out the original power team figure for one of the latest Action Man releases , which are on a Power team body so the fit is spot on . It`s a very nice sculpt for a Modern release A.M . Anyway here he comes .
This is the kit how it arrived .
The pooch makes me chuckle , a bit of a cartoon look to him .
I think the robot is so cool .
I printed off a Laptop , cut and glued it around some Balsa wood , I think it turned out good , what do you think ?

To compliment this kit , I already had the G.I Joe Bomb disposal set so have put them together .
The bomb comes apart , so it can be diffused .
The Dog is less cartoony and looks pretty cool .

Okay I’m just totally loving the look of your Bomb Disposal figure with sniffer dog. Really liked how you’ve shown him and his equipment off though your pictures.

Nice job with the laptop! I would not have known it was a simple paper print-out from the photos. You did a great job assembling it to give it a 3D look.
The Bomb Disposal kit is a fun set, especially combined with the GI Joe Bomb Disposal set! As you say, the remote-operated robot is pretty cool!
Great stuff!

That's a great looking set! The laptop looks really good. I haven't seen the Joe set before.
The set looks really good on the new Action Man.
I have the robot, but it's the only piece I have of the set. I got it loose some years ago.

Thanks for that info , Not sure how common Brass tools in 1/6th are but will keep it in mind , I like to try and keep things as realistic as possible / affordable .

He looks awesome Chip! I remember you telling me when you picked up this set. Popping an AM in the outfit works really well!
