[Misc] Who remembers having an Action Man sharp shooter?

[AmexRuislip]

I had years of fun playing footy, with these toys, even though now, their knees resembled botched surgery.
Any of you, admit to owning these

 

[Razzoo]

No, but I had Action Man with eagle eyes and gripping hands.He was ace

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I had an "Action Guy" which was the cheap version. Not realistic hair, not gripping hands, and no joints in his arms or legs (he walked rather stiffly and it made holding his rifle rather difficult).

When I got a proper Action Man, the parachutist kit did for him eventually - all that throwing him out of the upstair windows and watching him plummet to the paving stones when the parachute failed to work.

Not out when I had Action Man (It was purely military gear only)

 

[The Rivet]

Who had one of these?

 

[Hillian1]

It's absolutely füçking criminal what that sodding Money Supermarket advert has done to Action Man.

 

[Weststander]

A birthday present in about 1972.

The classic army paratrooper or commado type, with a beard.

Enought to get pulses racing at the Bulldog Tavern.

Christ, that is horrible! I don't remember them at all and I had a few Action Men. Like how he still has his action man scar.

I got a Royal Canadian Mounted Police uniform for mine by saving up the stars from buying extra stuff for him.

This was my dream toy as a young ‘un, unfortunately with 5 siblings there was never the money available for me to ever achieve ownership.

Sigh.

Not to be confused with the Action Man Shot Stopper. Same mum?

 

[The Clamp]

I had one with a removable plastic face that was all cut and bleeding and had a bullet wound in the cheek. Horrific really!

 

[Bognor Bystander]

Oh dear - just brought back memories of how much money and bedroom storage I wasted on these things as a lad ... had at least 10 figures, a box of uniforms, a jeep, personnel carrier, sentry guard box and Brutus the guard dog to name but a few .... then gave the whole lot away !

 

[Stat Brother]

Come on people you've nearly had an entire 24 hours and yet I still have to do all the heavy lifting:-

Same with me, but my dad told me I had the 'Action Man Deserter' model. (Sorry - very old joke.)
