Special Air Service coming to AYHQ!

After watching this video about a badass Scotsman in the SAS, I decided that I had to have an Action Man SAS figure.

Gunner Munro happily obliged me and is sending this chap (Pete is his Munrovian name) out shortly.






Those pictures were taken by him, the tablet isn't included, but a first issue Flash Hood (found after the photo session) will be!

I'm super excited to get this parcel in a couple of weeks (darned international shipping   )!

Thank you Gunner, he will be loved, photographed, given an AY name and dossier (with nods to both Gunner Munro and the original name "Pete"), and he will go on new missions and see new and exciting territories.


This figure will also be my first real VAM, as opposed to VAM40, and also my first EE figure, Joe, AM or otherwise!

I'm super excited!!!!            

Nice kit, the vam looks in pretty nice condition.

A great looking figure for sure, well done guys

Yes, gunner says the joints are tight, and the head is still attached by original means.

Nice looking SAS figure Action Yankee!
Bet your excited!

This will be a great tribute to John McAleese!

Well done, Gunner!!!

very nice SAS figure great photos

Very nice key figure.

He's on American soil!!!

Shouldn't be too long now, I hope.


Cheers Gunner.

Awesome!

And the excitement mounts!

USPS says today???

Fantastic stuff!

Today....

But I don't think so, Delivery Day is usually the USPS Estimate + 1.


(And it doesn't say "Out for Delivery," it seems like it's going through one last checkpoint in my City's main post office)

Well, it DID come today!



Melbourne: "So you were shrank by a Radioactive Satellite then? Trippy."

WSGIJ: "Yea, it really sucks too!"

*beep beep*



Sgt. Church: "Package delivered, should be the new CO!"



Sean: "Great."

Melbourne: "Hey aren't you missing? Captured or some such?"



Sean: "It's just fiction, people eat it up."



Sgt. Church: "Alright, let's everyone lift at once."



Sgt. Church: "And set him down gently."



Sgt. Church: "Time to open it up!"



Melbourne: "Aren't you going to help?"

Sean: "I did the last one."



Sgt. Church: "Amazing, a lid, like a sarcophagus."



Sgt. Chruch: "Some kind of note here, probably from our CO's former CO."



Sgt. Church: "Copious amounts of Bubble Wrap."

Melbourne: "Can I play with it?"

Sgt. Church: "Knock yourself out."

Melbourne: "Yay!"



Sir John Peter MacBeth: "You Church?"

*pop*

Sgt. Church: "Yes sir."

*pop*



SJPM: "And Yankee's crew?"

*pop*



Sgt. Church: "To your right, Sir."

*pop*



Sgt. Church: "Looks like the Gunner sent some extra bits with you."

*pop*

SJPM: "Yes he did."

*pop*

Sgt. Church: "We'll sort that out later."

*pop pop*

SJPM: "Where am I?"

*pop*



Sgt. Church: "Welcome to AYHQ, Commander."

*pop*

Here's a bit of a better look at him and his stuff.







Sharpshooter, NICE!!



Extra surprise bits, handy smoke grenades, radio, torch, kneepads and binocs.

A very nice figure, and the free bits will come in handy I'm sure for assorted SAS and SOS Ops. Thank you Gunner, and Cheers!

A great addition Ian! he will be a valued member!

Well done Gunner!

Good old Gunner....he really is a first class fella.
