as the flames grow higher..I think that answer qualifies as a 'melt-down'

No pics I'm afraid as I no longer own many loose figures:(  - but when I started collecting I originally wanted to get the figures I remember having as a kid so in no particular order...

locker box version para
Hussar
later issue aussie
later marine combat
foreign legion
there really only the 4 I remember actually owning:oops:  - If I've got to plump for another one....hmmmm - got be a mint underwater explorer - the one in the fold out leaflet holding his flippers and aqualung

Sorry but I think that is six,You trying to sneak an extra one out?????  
1.locker box para
2.hussar
3.later issue aussie
4.later marine combat
5.foriegn legion
then you try and confuse us by saying there are really the only the 4 I remember owning and sneak another one in
6.mint underwater explorer
Now the question is which one of those six is getting left behind        
as I have pulled someone else up, I have to have the courage of my convictions, I will answer this conundrum tomorrow!!!!!
   
   

I've been dreading answering this but since Ddaydawson wrote such a flattering review of The Story of ACTION MAN I feel obliged to answer now.

So here we go:

1. My custom SAS Falklands trooper because this is actually one of my childhood figures that I fixed up and had reflocked.



2. My SAS dress uniform, another childhood figure



3. British Lewis gunner, my brother's childhood figure



4. Vintage Green Beret, my personal favourite



5. Ski patrol, just love that outfit

Fantastic figures there Tony!! Now that dress uniform SAS is one SAS figure that isn't scary wow

Have been thinking about changing mine to five fireman VAM on a fire engine who put the blaze out and save the rest of my collection :-)

Terrific choices Tony, those figures look amazing !! but wheres their getaway vehicle ????   

Great choices Tony!!

Fantastic figures all of them.

These are the amazing TKQ5 selections so far, c'mon guys lets see yours !!  

they look absolutely fantastic SKJ ........I really like your riflemen, stunning!!!
   

very cool steve, but where are the other two?

Simply stunning Steve :-)

  Oooops! This is a mis-post!! My very old and knackered laptop has the annoying habit of randomly doing things like opening Google when you're typing a post or closing a page you've just spent 10 minutes typing in.

I was posting this pic to facebook earlier..don't know how I managed to add it here too.  

...but thanks for the comments although in the big scheme of things I doubt 3 nameless VAM in cots unis would be surviving a fire at SKJ HQ when much more precious characters would be giving me the big, sad. sorrowfull, 'save me, not him, me!!' eyes!  

   @ steve !!

PMSL @ Steve. Guess there would be a GB in there lol

Steve is it yours or the laptops old he mate lol

cool summary shots Dal... and great mis-post with the three-musketeers!

 , skj claimed it was his dodgy laptop !

C'mon guys lets see your TKQ5 !!!

well the question......
As scalpey is a law to himself and probably got out himself it would have to be the fantastic bovey boys I think













one missing cheeks ,,but wasn't it him flying the plane that scalpey got away in,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Superb selection my friend ! a truly superb set of troops  

Top photos and kitmixing, REDDOG1!!!    

The painted boot-laces and eyepatch look good! Are all the 'Bovey Babes' eccentric pioneers?  

The bovey boys off coarse would be your 5 figures out of your collection to jump out the window from the house that is burning down and get out alive.

Well my favourite five would be of little value to most of you, but here they are.
These come mostly from my repairs and fairly basic kit.
