Find while renovating the attic for a bit. Totally forgot I had these guys. Who the h*ll is the cricketguy? A Thundercats fig?
Joe: You know Ken, Ken and Ken, I had a tough life. I played war and action games, I saw spiders and dust. Lots of stuff. I saw a lady living in pink, I saw a Sindy desperately in love with a guy she has like zero chance to get. But...dudes! You live in a box?! That's tough!
Ken: yeah...but all the shelves are full of Barbies and other girls.
Ken: ...there's no place left for us...
Ken:...you're welcome to stay, there's a little space in that corner, over there...
Mwahahahaaar
Joe: Did you hear that threatening laugh?
Ken: No
Ken: Maybe
Ken: Did it go like 'Mwahaha' or 'Mwararharr'?
Joe: I'd say Mwahaha
Ken: Then no, I didn't hear it.
Joe: ah.
He doesn't just carry a camera, he is a camera!
That's right - load a 110 film cartridge into his back, point him at stuff, and fire away!
Action Man was originally introduced in 1966 as Britain's version of G.I. Joe.
Production continued until 1984, when Palitoy (the manufacturer) closed.
Hasbro relaunched Action Man in the 90s, and his style became less military and more "modern adventurer".
Photo Mission Action Man was released in 1999 as part of the "Action Man Street" series.

(a.k.a. 'The room divider 3')
Joe: You know Miss Sindy, I had a tough life. I saw war. War toys and games. I saw spiders, lots of spiders. Lots of stuff. I even saw a woman living in a total pink house. Pink!
But I never saw a room divider placed like this...

My three year old nephew plays with Action Man in our pool. (I bought this one for him because he's an ocean freak.)
Here we have from left to right Jim, John and Alec. Jim was my original Action Man, he was purchased during a day trip visit to the fairly recently opened Birmingham Bull Ring Centre way back in 1966. If I remember correctly I think it was the Saturday after England won the World Cup. In which case Jim became part of my childhood on 6th August 1966. When my birthday came round I received several outfits. Each outfit came with stars / vouchers to collect to fill a card and send off for a free Action Man. A week or two later John arrived, all he came with was his boots and ID tag. Then came Christmas and more outfits and accessories arrived. This gave me enough stars to fill a second card and sent off for Alec. Sadly I soon outgrew my action men and they were packed away in a box and put in the attic. Fast forward to this afternoon some 52 years or there abouts later, out of the attic they came for a photo-shoot. NO THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE!!.. "Doll" "Looking close on Friday"
3 of my 4 eye action dolls had to meet didn't they?
(Thank you Didier for reminding me of wonky eyed sleeping Sindy. How could I forget!?)

The Adventure Team Commander is on a search and rescue mission deep in the Florida Everglades. A small plane has gone missing and the Adventure Team is sent in to locate it. Search attempts from the air have failed to locate the plane. The Adventure Team Commander knows that "boots" on the ground is the way to get the mission done.
'Any Old Vintage' is a small independent shop which was launched in 2023. Previously, known as 'Any Old Vintage Lights' which specialised in 'Retro and vintage nautical and industrial lights'. The shop diversified and now sells vintage clothing & accessories; homewares & antiques; art (prints, photographs & paintings); books & vinyl LPs; as well as classic children's toys & games. This is a quick snap of the window, I spotted an Action Man figure (unboxed) with a £70 price tag, who knew?
I have a snapshot of the outside of this small Independent shop which I will post later.
"Radio Announcer; And that ladies and gents, was 'Christmas' by The Who, greatly enjoyed at Woodstock in 1969!"
Mehar: *Stops her energetic dancing* Who's the who and what's a woodstock Uncle Henry? Is it a bird?
Henry: *Chuckles* Not quite. The Who was a very popular London rock band, and Woodstock was a music festival they and a few others attended.
Mehar: Oh. Did you and Auntie Edith go?
Henry: Blimey, not us! Woodstock was in America and they enjoyed a lot of um.. wacky tobacky in the audience. And on stage presumably.
Mehar: Wacky-tobacky? Is that a dance style? Have you and Auntie Edith enjoyed wacky-tobacky as well?
Henry: Ha ha, you can bet your rooty-toot on that missy!
--Edith enters--
Edith: Ahem, she can bet her what on what ...darling?
Mehar: My bum!! *Shrill laughter*
Henry: Oh hello love! I was just telling her about Woodstock.
Mehar: And that you and the audience and possibly The Who-evers enjoyed a dance called wacky-tobacky. Can you teach me it!? Pleeeeease!!
Edith: *Gives her husband a look that could freeze geese. Then turns to Mehar* Sure love. In a minute. Go have a cookie while I have a word with Mr. Buttercombe.
Mehar: Yaaaayy!
