stand back if you don't like MAM- Welsh arrivals at Gunners

Hi folks

I've enrolled my mate who lives in Cardiff in scouring GumTree locally .

He has done really well and there seems to be a few MAM around.

So we welcome all ACTION MAN to fight the Dragonians. Infact ( cover your ears Hank & Joe) . I quite like the fully articulated ones… its just the bendy leg , moulded on weapons , strange mechanisms etc that really frustrate me. What were the Hasbro designers thinking !!

So here are the first batch 'from up the valleys". Colour Sgt Hart and Captain Morgan of the training team with them up.



Most interesting were these two

A talking MAM ? - I'll sort out some AAA batteries and see what happens. Does anyone know what his commands might be?








This guy I think throws grenades


Some kind of Ninja  ( Cobra?)


He has a code on the back which I think makes him one of the early 90's issues ?


The second batch came from an Army housing estate near Brecon. A good selection here of articulated figures.


Although you can see the progression over the 2000's - again really not sure what the Hasbro designers were thinking with the 'moulded' torso look.





A couple of interesting figs. This guy is some kind of Samurai?

He has a mechanism on the back that works both his arms and legs …. but he can't stand up ! - so a bit of one play novelty figure for me !



This guy has an arm that works a Samurai sword.


The Commanders talk through the team -

I'm really sorry Commander Taff - the Bendy leg guys will need to go into the Gunner Re articulate MAM project!
And DRx is definite No No !!



Got one of these as well



But Morgan and Hart don't know what to make of it ..

Interesting Captain … bit its not a Turbo Copter !!



So I now have quite a burgeoning Platoon of MAM - Another 10 colleagues upstairs.. so if they can avoid being sent to the charity shop   and I can do something with those blooming hands, they too can take a role in reclaiming Munrovia from the Dragonian invaders  

Thanks for looking

Great picks up Gunner! Ackie and brownboots are the guys that will point you in the direction of who is who . Looking forward too seeing what you do with them!

send x to me i'll flock him for you ! he will fit in better then !

Shame he is missing his batteries, he has six phrases

1. dont waste you'r money
2. bin me now i hate charity shops
3.I was never any good not even in the box
4.only one previous owner and he cried when he opened me at xmas
5. I look good in a hanging basket ask SKJ
6. I am not welsh i was made in hong kong

The guy who you think is a grenade thrower is a Swimmer.
The guy with the Swords who has frankly a novelty body strangely enough is a
Personal favourite sculpt of mine.......







Pop the head onto a better body....you'll be surprised!!

Take off the top plait..........



.....have Fun with your MAM!....everyone should ( except RD that is!!)

LMAO@Richard!. .

Is it gay pride week a Gunner HQ?

@ rich! that's what I love about AMMO, all fun and games

i think the guy with the red scarf is cobra commander and the black guy is called stalker

Yep they will always be the poor cousin

I'm thinking if I can do half a good a job as BrownBoots kit bashes they can be redeemed

Hey Gunner Munro, I'm really really liking the look of all the MAM that are going to become Dragonians solders .
The naked talking MAM you've got they

he's called action man Street commander and he looks like this with clothes on


This naked MAM

your right he dose throw grenades and he's called Operation ATAK.


This MAM that has the arm that works a Samurai sword

He comes from a set called Power Arm Ninja and that looks like this



The MAM that a mechanism on the back that works both his arms and legs and that he can't stand up he is called Samurai Mission and that set look like this


Hope that all helped you to Reference which naked MAM comes from which set, if you wan to know about any of the rest I'll try and help out .


Oh I can't stand the MAM that have 'moulded' torsos infact I hate it.

Thanks for that info Ackie,

Helps me with some ideas re uniforms etc .

On the MaM street commander - does he need the radio/walkie talkie to work ? ( if his voice mechanisms are ok)

I'd agree with BrownBoots re the Samurai guy- great head sculpt, pity about the rest.

Don't worry I'll keep these guys in the ActionMan Family- they can kick butt of the Max Steels who make up my enemy troops

Nice lot of recruits, Get the Training underway soon as possible

You see the walkie talkie in my photo off the street commander, well that's what you need and when you talk into your voice comes back to you though the street commander if that makes sence.
