This was my first vintage Action Man. The uniform is from the 'escape from Colditz' set. The hands are repro. I found the figure on a flea-market for 1 gilder (with dried out broken hands). I found all 3 Escape from Colditz uniforms with almost all assosoires for 5 euro's on another flea-market a few years later.

During this shoot I accidentally broke the scope of his snipergun :( Luckily it was a clean break and it's easy to glue, but still...booooh!!!

Look at the colour difference!!!

Polar Scooter- Snowboard Raider

Can't stop making pictures of this guy! The most busted-up, cutt- off modern 12' Joe I have, but I love him! :D

Bought the bear and 1 of the bats today, but their arms were switched. When I tried to switch them back, one arm broke of both figs. Man I was pissed. I repaired this one, by first nail a hole in the right arm and then put a little screw in it. And luckily I could pop it back in :D No visible damage and he still can move. A proud moment for a unhandyman like me ;P

My original 1974 Action Man 'Conner' is moving upstairs to a 'Puppy Safe Green Zone' today!

Pics made during the flea market at Eeklo Kaaifeesten in Belgium.

Just have to change that logo into a cobra :)

Got me another vintage Captain Zargon figure from evilbay. This one has the right boots and arm thingies. Now looking for his visor and sword-gun :)

Here in Europe they were sold seperately on their own card.

Vintage AT sheriff on a vintage AT / Action Joe horse. I love these two together :D

My 1978 action man fully kitted.

Pics made this weekend during the Actionfigurado in Duiven. An 12 inch action figure fare.

This somewhat battered photo is of me, munching popcorn in the staff room of the old Forum cinema in Lime Street. I wasn't so camera-shy back then and the reason WHY I'm in the staff room of the ABC-owned cinema is because my auntie Pat worked there and so did my mum...she's the one who took this picture, which could do with a bit of restoring. I've got another one of me somewhere (and I hope I haven't lost it) of me outside Lewis's but slightly younger.

Now that I can scan pictures, I hope to scan a couple of me when I was three.

The originals - If you fancy owning drop me a mail I might have my arm twisted

This pic is a bit bitter / sweet. Two loves in 1. 1 from my dad: mopeds, and for me: action figures.

Now my dad is selling most of his moped stuff, cause he's dieing and want's to clear out. He doesn't want to leave a mess behind.

I like mopeds too, so for me it's no problem, but for him it's a bit like therapy I think :(

Can't imagine that I'd have to sell all my GI.JOE's and other stuff.....:( Must be really hard for him........
