Action Man 50th Photos (Don't get too excited chaps)

Well i have to say not much imagination used with this lot,all been done before!.Also there is nothing for the vintage collector which is a shame.Who is this being aimed at?

An Empire outfit or Arab would have been ok,something that was talked about but never released.I think people will only buy these because of the Action Man label and think they should have these sets.

As Theonemankind says a vote may well have seen a better variation in outfits,but the self appointed spokesman for Action Man got in first
I for one cannot see myself buying any of these unless they bring out something different.Rant over.

So any news on when and where these figures are likely to be sold yet! It's seems to have died a death!!

Someone said it had been pushed back to September??

September!!
I wonder if this will actually happen, or if they have had second thoughts on what to produce!!

Oh well I am sure we will find out at some stage

PJ

it just seems to keep getting kicked further down the road

Fingers crossed it will still happen!!

Any ideas when and where these will be on sale?

Gee I hope things work out in the end...

The 50th figures are on Cotswold for pre order!

Doesn't seem to be anywhere over here offering them for sale yet strangely.

Hi what section are they under on the web site

Yeah I can't find em either , not getting confused with the French action joes that are for sale on there in the geyperman section ,beatlefan ?

Still can't find them on the homepage , but thanks to your link rd and beatlefan or I'll never have found em , was only perusing on there this morning too !, what section are they in ?, more to the point wonder if Amazon have them on pre order ?

I only found these through a link on UAMHQ, hope we get some prices of how much they are going to be for the UK market soon.

Apparently still not on Amazon yet Jay.

The basic soldier from cots is $39.99 which equates to about £31  and the more expensive para marine is $70 all but a cent which is£53 so let's hope they are a bit cheaper over here eh ?thats at today's exchange rate , oh and don't forget the massive tax bill you get from him customs .........bastards !

Unless I am missing something here, but why are they on sale in America first I thought it was a uk thing
And agree the price is a tad high for something not so really exciting for the 50th even though I know I'm gonna buy a couple of them

Yeah I think we should at least be given an idea of how much they will cost.

I don't believe they are really available here in the US, yet.

Cots tends to put pre-orders up as soon as they get the info. It still is likely to be a while.

Have to agree it would be a damn shame to have to order AM50 figures from the US. High shipping and taxes.

I always wondered about the cost of the VAM40 figures from Modelers Loft. I was able to get a few from Cots and they were pretty high priced, but the shipping wasn't too bad. Cots broke some of the sets up so if you didn't want the whole set you could buy just the figure or the accessory package separately.

Good luck, any idea who will sell them in the UK?

We took a vacation to London a little over 10 years ago. I was all over Harrods and couldn't find any MAM. Still regret not convincing the wife of the importance of a trip to Modelers Loft.

What were you thinking Brian?? That shop in Caterham was a treasure trove of VAM and other old toys! It was a joy to just wander around browsing. Although I only ever went there 4 or 5 times in 20 years and I live less than 5 miles away!

You don't know what you've got till it's gone!
