I picked up this battered redheaded MB as part of a lot yesterday.

Also in the lot was this Sea Adventurer ensemble and a blue pair of shorts.

It's a later single-snap shirt

If he was wearing that; it would be a nice, run-of-the-mill find. What he was wearing, however was this:

Here's a link to another collector's collection, showing what the full uniform looks like:

I'm curious as to how this set all came together

My Action Team Police figure is coming together; and is turning into quite the international affair! The figure itself is an Action Man hybrid that Dal sent; while the boots are Geyperman from Rick. A local club member gave me a vintage MP/SP/AP belt and an Action Man Scramble pilot helmet. There's work to be done (need to get the over the shoulder crossbelt), especially on the helmet visor, but he's starting to take shape.

Action Team German Policeman's new helmet; an acquisition from a recent toy show. Apparently it's a Cotswold Scramble Pilot helmet. Hopefully it will be a Police helmet by Spring!

Thanks for the tip about the helmet! I actually have a pair of 40th jackboots, but I'm keeping the Geyperman ones for the international aspect!

Nice finds, again!

The flocked hair looks in great condition, so does the uniform. The uni looks like it hasn't been played with much.
I'm a big fan of muscle bodied Joes, I don't have any. The muscle bodies remind me of Big Jim, perhaps Mattel's BJ was an influence on the design?

Just an update. We had our local collector's club meeting last weekend, and Rich (Pachwerk) did an amazing job converting a scramble pilot helmet into a Polizei version, and making this outstanding crossbelt! Top quality work all around! I just have to get a visor for the helmet.
