Alas I am limited at present on VAM in my collection to almost none existent. Though hoping to rectify that and get some bodies in the collection.

I did have a Loose VAM Eagle Eye head and figured a HYBRID move with it.
Using one of the HT Clone bodies, some ingenuity I present ACTION MAN MKIII.

The attachment was a fun one to work out LOL

I used a cork stop type thing to embed into the VAM head.
Then added a plasticard skirt at the top of the Neck piece that came with the HT clone body. This then makes it a Flat surface.
Then glued with plastiweld the head to neck and it is SOLID.
I have tried to snap the lower half off and by hand not able too. So I am very happy with durability.

Thanks Ackie88.

He is wearings a SPARTAN t shirt. Sideshow DESTRO body wamer, ACU pants with ZERT footwear.

The bike was a Kit from China for £2.00 shipped. I papped myself as the seller was removed from ebay but thankfully this still arrived. Put the bike together (instructions provided) and all parts there.
