That is quality, takes me back.
Outstanding :) Mind you personally I would prefer an SLR to the Stirling in that terrain ;)
Quality! Unfortunately all my 70s Action Man stuff got left with a mate who's no longer with us, so I expect it was all dumped or sent to the jumble sale when he died. :(
Great photo Jason :)
Here's a couple of pics of my 'Man' in his 1/6 scale (3.2 m span) Pilatus B4 scale glider. Pic taken just before flying him off Butser hill in Hampshire.
He was shitting himself ;)

Cheers

I had a Action Man frogman
It was the ONLY way Mum could get me in the bath :lol:
I only got out again when the water was frr rrr eeeeee ee zinggggg :D
Wow!
Jason, you kept your toys.
Dude, you missed out on so much boyhood fun.
It's not too late though all you need is a few packs of Black Cat fire crackers,some M80's,a can of petrol (high octane) a can of black powder for pistols and a pack of matches.
We used super 8 cameras to record there demise, you can just use your cell phone video cam.
P.S. Kung Foo grip G.I.Joe holds a Black Cat fire cracker perfectly, now go have some fun with those toys and stop wasting them.
You can always rely on Jeff for an alternative POV! :lol: :lol: :lol:
:lol::lol:Thanks guys here a few more of my pics, a couple from different eras :)http://i1071.photobucket.com/albums/u505/paintedhead1234/001-27-2.jpg

Here's a few more hope you enjoy them, and most of all hope you don't mind me showing them to you guys. Action man played a big part in most young lads lifes so I hope you enjoy the memories as well has the pics of my collection. Everything in the pics are vintage original 60s and 70s, except the scooter.
Cheers

Yes Joe the eagle eyes has the kung fu grip.
They are brilliant - have you considered doing a short stop-motion film? or is that a silly question?

Hopefully Jason isn't good and drunk Pay paling away his life savings on some of these rare finds.

While not an action figure this Joan of Arc cigarette lighter would come in handy for playing GI Joe.

I tried to find the rare set of Pres. George Bush SR. and Miyazawa Kiichi (prime minister of Japan) action figures.
Press President G.B. SR.'s head and he projectile vomits.
Seems they are hard to find.

I used to have a Six Million Dollar Man figure -
it had a bionic eye that in reality actually made things smaller !!

Had a secret santa once at a place I used to work at. You could put down what you wanted on a spreadsheet. I got this youth and he had put 'the more inappropriate the better' - so I got one of the girls to go down Anne Summers and buy a blow up doll. It got a good laugh when he unwrapped it but then the dumb f**ker decided to inflate it right there in the office. She had tits like barrage balloons. Just as he was finishing the inflating the general manager came in and went absolutely cuckoo-crazy when he saw it. Fortunately the youth took the brunt of it and all credit did not grass me up. Close shave though. Her and me :)

Jason's pictures are awesome, but posting pictures of dolls and action figures are just begging for a little good nature d flogging.:spank:

Wow! Jason that was pretty cool, I wonder how they got the eyes to move back and forth.
The stop action was flawless. Did you make those videos?
Tell more.
I'm speechless... Those vids are beyond fantastic! :eek:
Some of it was very funny, though - especially the first one!! You have a very twisted mind, Jason, much like myself! :rfl:
Marco.
This one's just too funny for words:
