Six Action Figures for Six Months Challenge Question

If me and dad rented a flat out in Spain or somewhere in Europe that’s hot for six months and I only had space to take six but I’m going for FIVE 1/6 scale action figures with me , plus a limited amount of accessories this is what the five figures I would take.

Gangrene in the hawaiian shirt for hanging out on the beach or sightseeing. The swimming Gangrene for if he wants to go swimming or again for hanging out on the beaches. Gangrene in the green t shirt and shorts again for hanging out on the beach or sightseeing. Two Turquoise Robots to protect Gangrene or to hang out on the beaches. Gangrene would take his silver toxic formula blaster just incase.

Thanks for your contribution, Alex.

Looks like you have room for one more in your suitcase, Alex

Great choices so far, Gary!

Not finished yet, and I hope to see a contribution from BAM HQ at some point. The choices would doubtless be more difficult since your collection is many times the size of mine. Still, would like to know what you pick, besides Jake Rivers and Jenna

Here's my first 3 figures out of 6 that'll appear here     
1-VINTAGE S.A.S. FIGURE , 2-Vintage G.I. Joe Atomic man Mike Powers Figure , And 3- Vintage Tom Stone figure 
And this is my box   Although I'm thinking it might be 1mm to big   
I may be wrong though 

I Chose these figures Because ; 1- G.I. Joe Atomic man , Mike Powers can be. The eyes in the sky's for the hole Team of 6 And As of yet, I Still have to find out more about him ,But the Atomic copter blades are a very handy accessory  ; 2- S.A.S. figure Because he's fluent in at least 4 laugages , His training doesn't come any better ; 3- Tom Stone Because he was a special figure taken out in the 70's , I really don't know much about him , But my gut feeling tells me , he's a mean lean fighting machine.
 I hope this helps explain my reasoning for my choices ,
And when I get more information I'll be sure to add it here 

Does that mean Gary that my box is allowed for this challenge 

Seeing As you never mentioned it there the now  

I'll speak to you soon my friend  
Very kind regards,
Allan

You may pack you figures in anything large enough to carry them, but anything extra must fit into a box no bigger tan the one in the first pic.

Thanks for clearing that up with me Gary my friend   
God loves a tryer or so the Saying goes  ,,,,, But is that my first pic or your first pic ???   only joking Gary , As I can see that it is the box in your first pic 

 The vintage metal ammo box is fine, plus it looks super cool, so bonus points for that!

(Not that we're keeping score or anything... are we? )

As for the FINAL TWO in the K-Troop selection: what's this? No Commodore Bond-Fleming? Oh, c'mon! That's not fair! Bond-Fleming is among your funniest characters! He lends himself to all manner of retro-kitsch scenarios because of the long and varied career of the actor upon whose appearance the figure is based. And speaking of appearances, he's so deucedly good-looking! How could you leave Zardoz aka Quatermain, the star of The Man Who Would Be King and Darby O'Gill & The Little People, off this list? With a quick re-dress, Bond-Fleming could portray any number of amusing motion picture roles... and he could go around calling everyone "Junior."

And... and where's my favorite? Well, favorite aside from Glynis, so second favorite (secretly, first favorite, altho' Glyn wins on fashion points): Miyori? That chick is seriously easy on the eyes!

But... I guess Miyori staying behind would give you a reason to come home from wherever you wander off to. And there are already a lot of gals on the Away Team.

Since Connery A (Bond-Fleming) and Connery B (Arbuthnot) and Miyori will be holding down the fort back home, my vote would be for Spokko and The Dokko. The Star Trek Holo-Doctor character you've devised is snarky and quick-witted, and really funny when he pops in to stir the pot. Spokko is hilariously slow-witted despite his having a brain the size of a planet (not to mention other planetary-scale attributes I've heard rumors from among the ladies), so those two lads would serve well to round out the team during an extended Away Mission.

Thanks Dave my friend   
It was a gift from my Very Good Friend Richi And I don't know much about it other than I'm guessing it was some pretty big fire power ( weapon that fired the 2 rounds that the Ammo box carried  )
And I wouldn't send my figures out in the field not fully loaded   , And now to see what will fit in the Ammo box......

I'll speak to you soon Dave my friend 
Very kind regards ,
Allan

Here's my 4 figure for the challenge. 4- Cobra Commander - Again I don't know to much about this figure other than he's a high ranking baddie,
And every good storyline needs a baddie ,
And they don't come much badder than this guy I'm guessing

Spokko and the Dokko would be good choices as I don't know if I could go six months without making a Star Trek or other Sci-Fi joke. This being said, it would be a touh choice to pick six out of around thirty figures I have and even tougher to pick two out of twelve. Also, my collection as it stands is much more diversified than I had originally envisioned and this allows me a great deal of flexibility in my posts, many of which are responses to the posts of others. To an extent, I could do what you are doing and recycle older images and put new speech balloons in them. All-in-all, it's an interesting thought exercise. I hope the challenge gets more responses. At the same time, whilst I realize that this foursome has already teed off in your case and you've made your choices and taken them with you, you could share with us, which figures you brought with you and why.

The box is meant to carry two rounds of training ammunition for a British L118 105mm howitzer. My suspicion from comparing projectile markings between these and other rounds for the same gun, is that these training rounds might have carried a less powerful explosive charge, which is suitable for training purposes, and probably much less expensive than if they were loaded with more powerful explosives.

Hi there Gary my friend    ,
And thanks for coming to the rescue with information regarding the ammo box
That's good to know, At least I know now it came from a heavy field gun/cannon , ( if I'm right in saying that ) 
And I can totally understand what you are saying regarding keeping the costs down for training purposes. That makes complete sense Gary my friend 

Thanks again for your help with this Gary 
It's very much appreciated and I know Richi will be interested to find out , when I tell him.
I'll speak to you soon Gary my friend   
Very kind regards ,
Allan

Allan I’m really liking your fourth figure choice for the challenge Cobra Commander. He sure does look incredible high ranking baddie for sure. I very very much agree with you 100% on every good storyline needs a baddie but of course I would be routing for the baddie .

Many thanks for the compliments Alex my friend   
On Cobra Commander figure.
When I saw him , I bought him there and then As I knew nothing about him But thought that he'd make a great Commander for the modern action man baddies figures     

I'll speak to you soon Alex my friend   .
Very kind regards ,
Allan

I'm sure that as an Action Man collector, you are familiar with the Action Man 105mm Light Gun. This is basically an L118 Howitzer, scaled down for Action Man, and without the circular base plate the real gun would have had.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L118_light_gun

They are among the weapons being supplied to Ukraine and used against the Russians at this time.
