Today is National GiJoe day here in the States...
G.I. Joe Day is celebrated on February 1 because the toy was introduced to the market in February 1964 by Hasbro, a toy company...

National GI Joe Day? I did not know about that! But I'm happy to learn about it!
Feb First will now go on my annual calendar along with Talk Like a Pirate Day, Pi Day, and Towel Day is a Very Important Day!
Those are some great pics of classic figs to celebrate America's Movable Fighting Man in proper style!
Fighting Man from head to toe!

Hi Jim, I’m sorry but I don’t actually know when is happy action man day or even if we have one. It’s a pity that they is no mention what month vam was released. Maybe one of our vam collectors members might know the answer.

This took some online detective work, but I found what I was looking for.
Palitoy Action Man was introduced to the public at the Brighton Toy Fair on 31 January 1966.
