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.

That is some great detective work Dave!

So basically Action Man was introduced two years after Joe. Almost to the day.

Just one day apart.

But Action Man lasted about eight years after the 12" Joe. I wish 12" Joe had lasted that long. Crying or Very sad
