Action Man 50th

Following for updates

Also, CANNOT wait for these to be released, the feeling of going into a toy shop and buying an Action Man again will be great

Any news anyone!! Getting close to August!

What's happening with the 50th. line? There was the initial release then... Did any of the promised uniforms appear? Also, the frogman suit looks to be made of something other than latex/rubber. What is it and does it look good, please?

Still nothing in the uk
These found online.



Warning the following pictures are distressing, look away now if you are of a weak disposition

Thanks....i think....OMG!


Do you guys remember the so called Colton Body? Hasbro Hall of Fame series? I may not have the terminology just right, but these are very like those figures. They are remembered...not....fondly.

i guess you gotta laugh, beats crying...

AM is doing a split...ouchy...

Don’t forget to take pictures if you can!

it appears I was correct in my thinking, the uni doesn't fit a vam

OMG the 50th Action Man uni doesn't fit a vam that’s shocking. The designers of the uniforms didn’t measure or look back at the original size of vam uniforms gggrrrrr.

Good investigative work Bri... even if the end result nay have left you Psychologically scarred

I'm guessing we may have some short sleeve Cammo units post Xmas

What do you think of the head sculpt? fit a max Steele body ok??
Take care

Alex why would they? They have made a shit figure with crappy T-rex arms! If it were not for those arms I'd be on board with it! Its a good idea badly executed! Even my 3 year old said "dad why are the arms rubbish?"

Just found these pre order at;

http://www.action-figure-supplies.co.uk

So £15.99 for the basic action man headed T-Rex and £5 more for the accessorised one

Made me laugh this morning. Cots on Facebook discussing the new figures!

I have to admit that I'm intrigued by some of the reaction on certain other sites.
Are these people drunk ? On drugs ? Or is it some kind of mass hypnotism ? ...honestly I just dont understand the mad dash to pay actual money for these t rex figures.

Ok so the headsculpt is very good, but that's it. And when they are in the bargain bin or a charity shop in a few months for a quid I will get some to transfer the head to a proper body, but pay £15 or £20 for what is essentially a head with an unusable body and uniform !?!?....utter madness

Unfortunately, Congress doesn't hold much sway in the UK...



I have as much chance understanding their business model as I do of understanding Derrida's philosophy...

You might think if they were interested in selling any they might have let Amazon sell them to US purchasers...

And still not available on Amazon!
