Rules: if you were stuck on a deserted island, what five dolls (only 5, no more) would you have with you?
---------------------
I chose dolls: 1) Robot - to make me laugh! 2) Ada Wong, she will make it interesting and dangerous! 3) Ernest - this is my first 1/6 scale doll, he is the King of all my dolls - he must be with me on this island! 4) Natalia Nykiel - my idol, she will sing me all her hits! (I love her music!) 5) Amaury Nalasco - to piss us all off! LOL
Imagine the Man, the Action Man, as an X-Wing pilot. How cool is that?
Well, in our house it's quite cool. I found a 12" X-Wing pilot outfit on eBay a while ago. It suits the Action Man quite nicely. It's a mashup of many good things.
Explored.
The height of 1980's evil alien fighting technology; Rom the Space Knight!
You can't see it in this shot but the Martians are quaking at their knees (... though that might just be the lousy rubber Hot Toys used to cover their legs with).
Hats off to BCS for this wonderful accessory from their new 11th Doctor set - the 12th's head!
Quick kitbash - popped him onto a spare BCS body (having previously moved my 4th Doctor to a TT knock-off) with a white undershirt, black-T and navy hoodie from the good folk at Clear Lan, from their FR Homme range they fit the BCS body nicely (maybe a bit long in the arms and trunk but not worringly so
Just a quiet Xmas for Baghead this year - most of the other dollies are over at Mr Cloney's Party or the annual Clearance Bin Lock-in... more of which anon.
Anyhow, time to unwrap the pressies!
AM was determined to jump despite his colleague's unfortunate demise following an unprovoked feline attack.
Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are focusing on Orange Friendly subjects.
"Jake, will tell this girl I really did fly in and out of the Bermuda Triangle, she doesn't believe me!"
46 years ago today (1978), on my sixth birthday, I received my first brand new out of the box Action Man Eagle Eyes Talking Commander (Who I named, Jake), We've been together for a real long time, and I wouldn't trade him for any other figure!
Talking Commander Description:
The basic Action Man Action Soldier figure from 1966, was joined by a talking version - the (talking) Commander in 1968. The first of the 'talkers', he spoke 8 phrases by pulling out a cord attached to his dog tag from his chest to coloured markers on cord. Upon letting the cord go it would speak one phrase whilst returning automatically. The talking Commander adopted flock hair in 1970 but retained the same outfit. In 1973 - for one year only - his name became "Talking Commander" - with 'Gripping Hands' a new jersey, peaked cap and muffler. he was replaced in 1974 by the non-talking Field Commander with his separate 'talking' Field Radio. In 1978 he came back - he gained the Eagle Eye head, new voice box with 5 phrases, had the all-new dynamic physique body (It had a sticker on box announcing such) and sported green trousers, becoming camouflage by 1981.
Action Man Talking Commander five phrases (from 1978) were (in random order):
"Enemy tanks approaching"
"Give me some cover"
"Send out the patrol"
"Whatās the password"
"Advance in single file".
"Are you sure about this, Joe?" asked a confused looking Dax.
"Dax my boy, Boop's Scoops, wanted some Major Mike's Atomic Ale for a new ice cream flavour, and that's what their gonna get! Two crates of the good stuff!" smiled Joe devilishly, "I'm sure they'll let us know how the new flavour gets on!"
"If they survive, that is!" giggled Teresa!
Beer bottle crates are actually bottle openers, but are the perfect scale for the Ammo Arms. I'm in the UK, so I got mine from Tesco's, but you may be able to find them online, if across the pond?
Today was a good day for finding Disney dolls. I first saw Snow White's Evil queen and nearly flipped out. However, I was disappointed to see she had been stripped of all her accessories and clothes.( I found this blue top separately, but put it on her for the photo on purpose :P) I even left behind 2 Ariel dolls (one of them was the vintage teen doll).
I then found Pocahontas' Ratcliffe and Pocahontas dolls in very good conditions. This is my second Pocahontas doll from this series. I also got another Action man, a great tiger that I'll probably use as Aladdin's Rajah, a Bratz guitar and a cute Panda.
Bought on the fare along with some vintage Actionman stuff.
I LOVE this guy's face!!! According to the internet, these guys are from Spain, and hard to find nowadays.
Probably my favourite set of all the later Action Man line for Palitoy. I had hours of fun as a kid sending my SAS Action Man figures off on secret missions with this gear.
BAM HQ's synthetic Agent has settled in nicely, he works mainly as a assistant to Minty, Jake's guard. However, this evening he is enjoying a pint of Atomic Ale!

From the Adventure Team H.Q. Archives: In 1970 the Adventure Team in a joint venture with NASA sent an Adventurer in to space. He had found new worlds to explore. The Space Adventurer had unknowingly freed a horrible threat to the universe. In the edge of the Quint Quadrant is a place called the Void. He saved Captain Zagon from the Void. Only to find out he was bent on ruling the Galaxy. Zargon unleashed the Intruders and the Terron on Earth. In an epic space battle the Space Adventurer was able to get Zargon back in the Void, but in the process he was also lost in the Void. In 1980 Zargon found his way out once more. The Adventure Team worked with the Actionman team to stop the threat of Zargon. The Actionman team formed the Space Rangers to stop the evil Captain. Once more they were able to send him back to the Void. Now The evil space pirate has found his way out and is coming to Earth the get his revenge on the Actionman and Adventure Teams.
"Returned huh? I guess, Betty didn't have a use for them.., Just pop them back in the cellar, Tess. Oh, and be careful of a Captain Action interception, he is not the crate inspector, despite what he says!"
