The Lads - BAMComix.

Due to the PB chaos. my collection thread was severely effected, as it was over 40 pages long, it was easier to delete and start again . So to start it off, here are a few shots of my childhood five (CH5), enjoy!

Jake - Commander at BAM HQ

A few group shots









Thanks for looking! more to follow soon!  

Outstanding photo work Dal, smashing looking figures too, the diorama looks amazing as always


I say Phleeerp to Photobucket! There's plenty of other good free photo hosting sites out there, but everyone should try to keep within the Bandwidth limitations, make all your albums private, it uses far less Bandwidth.

Thanks Clive for taking the time to comment .I always appreciate your feedback my friend. Yeah, this photobucket fiasco borders on very unfair treatment, especially as they offered free accounts for so much space for so long!, then when no one was looking, changed the rules! However, we must not be put off, as you say there are plenty of other free photo hosting sites, so stuff em!

Moving away from my childhood survivors for a while, here are a couple more from my collocation

These are my grunts I bashed together, I call them Echo Team. Figures are 100% vam, and their kit is 90% vintage vam, tho some 40th and modern kit has sneaked in too.

The vintage colour effect works really well on those photos, really good outfits too, it's just like back in the day playtime. I like 40th items, they offer freshness, sharpness and mintyism...  I'd rather have mint 40th outfits than some ratty tatty vintage outfits any day

Thanks Clive! Really pleased you like the photos and figures

Great start to your new thread Dal!

Need to update mine now

Thanks Richard , more to come!

Be great to see your new thread mate! Vam-narnia MK II

Recently, I traded with Jet, here is one of the figures he traded with me, a vintage fuzzy. I have decided to call him Sgt. Taylor in honour of Jet . I kitted him out as a commando, probably one of my favourite uniforms. 90% is vintage, enjoy!



and here he is with my other commando. (100%) vintage



Thanks for looking!

wooo weeee great stuff Dal!

That's a darn shame you lost 40 pages of work, but this is a great start to a new thread.

I wonder if Photobucket has any idea of the amount of Goodwill they've squandered here? For years now everytime someone asks about how to post photos on the board a half dozen or more members tell them, Photobucket...over and over. You can't buy that kind of advertising.

I don't know what they're playing at, but to take that much goodwill and turn it completely around to bad will can't be a winning business strategy.

Thanks Jim & Bri! more to come soon,
I agree Jim, There were a lot of great comments left for my collection, which are all gone now . PB have really pulled the rug from under a lot of folks! However, there are plenty of others sites out there .

Great looking Commandos Dal, one of my favourite uniforms as well!!

Action Man Commandos were probably the ones that lead the way in the most explosive back garden warfare back in the day, I bet even some played with them in darkness whilst using a torch. Very nice figures Dal

A couple of nice upgrades to add to them two is a black coloured Dinghy each

 Thanks Richard & Clive! I am so pleased that I have two now, just need to think of a setting for them now

One of my adventurers with Brutus. He also moonlights as the 'Ammo Arms' landlord

another of my adventurers



and one of my favourite photos of him

A while back I asked Steve (Somekindajoe) if I could make replica's of his famous characters 'Joe & Hank' He kindly agreed . We then came up with the idea of instead of just making replica's we would make them clones of the originals. We called it the 2.o Program. Here they are,

Agent Joe 2.0's arrival







Agent Hank 2.0 arrival










It seems from security footage at BAM HQ, Hank 2.0 is showing more character traits in common with his original







Thanks for looking

Nice one DAL, the photo stories are great to see again

Be careful with this one below, you might get a knock at your front door later from the local Fuzz, just show them it's only a toy Action Man figure with toy weapons...

...I blame Google Bots object recognition software

@ Clive! pleased you enjoyed the comics

Very nice throughout Dal. Shame photobucket killed off threads, but it does remove figures that left home & makes way for the new arrivals. So not all is lost.

Very true Ade, I have had quite a few troops leave and have been replaced with fuzzys! o yeah, not all bad

Joe and Hank felt very honoured to be the first subjects of the 2.0 programme and as you may remember monitored their clones adventures with interest...







It's probably still in the top secret planning stage but there's an unsubstantiated rumour that Jake has initiated a 2.0 programme at SKJ HQ. While the subject of the cloning has not be announced you can be sure it won't be Mike Power. One Atomic man at SKJ HQ is already one too many!!

@ Steve!,, great to see the original Joe & Hank checking in to se how their clones are doing . I can indeed confirm that Jake has initiated the Jake 2.0 program to produce a clone of himself to go to SKJ HQ . Watch this space

Good one Steve
