Action Man in Space

Action Man's space adventure began pretty much as soon as we entered the space age and soon there was a range of Action Man outfits available, along with an increasing number of space enemies. Many of these are difficult to find now. I had inte...

Action Man on Two Wheels

Action Man is the European version of GI Joe, the 12 inch tall fully posable action figure. He made his first appearance in the UK in the mid 60s, disappearing in the mid 80s before returning in 1993 with a whole new look and an array of ultra mode...

Action Man Airborne

I don't have a huge range of the Action Man air transport, more of a sample. Some just take up too much space and there are so many of them, it would simply be impossible to display them. Recently I sold a vintage Action Man helicopter because...

Action Man - Armed Police

Primarily this lens is for the Action Man police figures but I've included the Fireman and Medics in this lens as well, there aren't really enough of those to make a lens on their own. Action Man is the European version of GI Joe, the 12 in...

Dr X

Although Action Man has had many adversaries, the new Action Man needed a challenge to overcome and, in 1994, it came in the shape of Dr X. Over the years the Dr X figure has changed many times, each new edition sporting more deadly weapons and a m...

Mattel's Max Steel Man of Action

Although my main collection is Action Man, it's right that I should include Mattel's Max Steel here as well. Often you'll see Max Steel figures advertised as Action Man so if you're starting a collection it would be an advantage to...
