I love to take an Action Man with me when I go on holiday but I constantly worry about losing him. It would be alright if I
took some random VAM I'd got off Ebay recently because losing that wouldn't be a big deal but when the VAM in question is 'Joe', your
favourite, the one you got for your 9th birthday in 1970, trust me you worry!

Of course taking your favourite VAM on away missions makes about as much sense as Captain Kirk beaming down to a hostile alien planet every week
but just like with Kirk, it just wounldn't be the same if someone else went.

So, to ease my mind a bit, Ive got Joe a tracker!

'I'll need more than a glass of water to help me swallow this!'

An Apple AirTag so no matter where Joe is I can track him with my phone.

'Bend over and puker up sweetcheeks, I'll insert it!

Hiding the tracker about Joe's person looked to be a bit of a problem. TheOneManKid suggested using a Talker body but I didn't fancy dismatling
any of mine so more drastic action was called for!

The faint hearted and those of a nervous disposition may need to look away now...

'Ouch! You're bloody enjoying this!'. . .'Just lay still and stop complaining!'

This duck tape repair is good enough as the tracker has a battery life of 12 months and so I'll need to access it in the future.

All done! To the casual observer 'Tracked  Joe' is no different to any other VAM!

Having an Apple AirTag so no matter where your Joe is you can track him with your phone now that’s a very smart idea.

We'll all have microchip tracking devices inserted into our bodies soon, so why not pioneer it with Joe... welcome to future... 😄

I 100% agree with you on all that.

Brilliant work Steve, I take it thats a stunt body You used for Joe's experiment shall we say? At least you get to take him, and keep an eye on him wherever he may roam bounce bounce bounce

Don't worry! That's not his original body! lol!

Joe and Hank's original bodies sit in a corner of the HQ still wearing the clothes they had on when they went into storage in the late 70's!

As a successful VAM-about-town, Joe now has several bodies!

Keeping Track . . .  383033075-856763569096288-6982016057133198593-n

They are dressed in the outfits he uses most. A head swap is a lot easier than dressing and undressing a figure. The torso on his urban camo body isn't that great an example and the world isn't short of VAM torso so... cheers

The Tracker is surprisingly large when you are trying to hide it. I didn't want to just stuff it in his clothing and it wouldn't fit in his head or hips so surgery was needed!

Whew Very Happy

I don't have enough bodies to do that. Smile

I see a Magnum Power uniform in the back in the second photo. Are they hard to find there? They are extremely
rare here, and therefore extremely expensive.
