Action Man Karate ???

Just picked this up on the bay and havn't seen a Karate set before I've seen Judo set, I'm a bit suspicious of the tag in the jacket as its not sown in but looks to be stuck in, was this the correct label for this kit



















Cheers guys hope you can help with this one

Mine had one in (till I washed it)

hi Karate!
Nice looking outfit!

correct...late issue karaté from Action Man 1984(i think)

I have had sticky labels in uniforms before but it`s hard to say where or what they would of appeared in , it looks good anyway , nice poses .

Cheers I hadn't seen this set before and thought that it was maybe a knock off with a label stuck in
