Modern Action Man Knuck

Recently Alexander posted a link for the Action Man Knuck figure. He mentioned that the figure
is rare, which I had no idea. Luckily I didn't have to pay near the price of the one listed, as I
recall I got him in a lot of two or maybe four from an American seller. I think the seller was
liquidating their collection, I got a couple of lots with four figures, years ago.

But I remembered that I had him, so I did some digging to see where I had stored him. I de-boxed
the figure, but I still have the back panel from the box. It's longer than my scanner, so part of the
top and bottom is cut off.









The figure has a punching/boxing action, by pushing down two tabs on his back. This closer view also
shows his belt with revolvers.



His elbows and shoulders click as you move them, two clicks up on the shoulders the forearms move
upward for a punching position. Pushing down the two tabs on his back gives him the punching motion.



It also gives a good position for when he draws his guns.





He wears a beret, without it he has a military crew cut.





He has a removeable boot knife on his left boot.



His knees have three click stops, the third gives him a kneeling position.



I got him because I really liked his look, muscular and probably ex-military.

He looks a lot cooler out of the box! Thanks for posting the pics, Daryl

I think he is quite a cool character , seems you scored a bargain too , though it`s got hard to put a price on figures these days , with so many chancers selling on eBay . I like him , very different to a lot of the MAM figures we see .

Worth the price of admission for that cool beret!

And the boots with the built-in knife sheath!

Yeah, this guy is ready for anything!

Does the "boxing" action also work as a "quick draw" action with the pistols? Seems like it might, if the arms are in the lowered position. Kinda makes me wonder if the fig was originally designed as "quick draw" action, but the marketing department revised it to "boxing action" as the anti-gun sentiment against military action figures was growing.

He looks well cool Daryl has a look of a modern Sgt Rock about him

I hadn't thought of that Dave. But the forearm moves up when you push the shoulder forward. I will have to try that out.

Cool figure Daryl!
Hope you are doing well!
