    That’s a great looking diorama you made there using those sets. All it needs now is a Red Shadows flag or two posted somewhere. They are also called World Peacekeepers in the stores near where I live. The vehicles and accessories in that line are really perfect for GI Joe/Action Force displays. And the figures in the line are weirdly not too bad either. At least they’ve got more articulation than most other army figures I’ve seen out in the wild. They could work as prisoners or random casualties. I’d get them if I could find some good Joe figures near where I live to go with them.

The only changes I would make to this diorama, would be to have the Kraken IN the well and the fire inside the building, with a captured Action Force soldier tied over it, instead of the cooking pot! 😁

    I always used to think you don't get enough scenery to populate your area in the old days. These sets would have been a great addition to anything in the 3 3/4 and 4" ranges. Now I wargame and I always say "You can never have enough trees!" SO I hit the toy fairs looking for scenery. Would've loved these in the 70's though!

    That's a great setup for a generic base set. The chopper with SAS figures is stunning! You could use the click n play figures as defeated cannon fodder for the Red Shadows. After all, only the Action Force, or possibly GI Joe, could give Baron Ironblood a run for his money.

    Excellent video Tony. You are still a child at heart. I could see the care you took placing each figure as though Action Force was about to attack. As such, what would be your plan for taking that base? 😁🤔 I've seen the World Peacekeepers toys here in Texas and Louisiana. They are impressive for the detail and price. One year around Christmas, they had an A-10 Warthog. If I still had my GI Joe figures, I would have gotten a many a World Peacekeepers set.

    Those sets are very cool. Funny as used to be those were sold in the USA as World Peacekeepers and closeout stores, I did not realize they were under that same brand in Australia. I bought many of them around 15 years ago. I have that very watchtower in green as well as several of the barbed wire fences. I loved that Little bird Copter too. The blackhawk is ok but slightly flawed as there are a couple of seats you cannot get access to.

    I love the fact the Kraken is next to the well. He's dehydrating fast, poor fella Clink& Play are sold as World Peacekeepers in the UK. The vehicles, etc are pretty good, but the figures always look weird. Like their chest jsd collapsed or something. They always look like they've been flattened. Anyway, I reckon ol' Dustfox will be keeping covert obs on that Red Shadows base, before he calls in the rest of SAS Force to take them on.

    nice set up! it s funny how action force was more naive than gi joe, 'the kraken' cracks me up, lol. how bizarre it must have been to play with 2 types of figures in the same line... that kind of stuff did nt go well in America, proof is that Cobra la almost killed the line on the spot. Golobulous and other monsters we re not received well here. although they had all the same construction - articulations. the 'flying skull' is definitively the best part of the European line. some designs are cool, just not as serious as the Cobra we had here. I was 13 in 82, so it was important that it felt more mature. it felt more like a collection than a toy. I love dioramas, I used cardboard boxes to make bases. I still have the inspiration, every time I see these kinds of figures. I bought the 6' figs, but it s not the same, I guess I like it smaller, and with vehicles. the peacekeepers have a few gems, but it s not the whole line. it s fun to mix with the joes to make more diverse scripts. the late days of the line had 4 factions joes, cobras, iron grenadiers, and the october guard. with those added in the mix, it makes quite a party. hey, good show mate!

    That awesome SAS helicopter looks like a variant of the Boeing AH-6 Little Bird Helicopter to me (I spent a lot of time playing Gunship 2000 on the Amiga when I was a teenager). It's a surprisingly versatile little bird. There are various models, which can include unarmed versions being equipped with external bench seats for carrying three commandos on each side, but the AH-6 is the armed Gunship variant, and comes equipped with forward firing machine guns and rocket pods, is painted black for nighttime operations, and is used for rapid insertion and extraction of special forces from areas where the larger MH-60 Blackhawk can't go. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD_Helicopters_MH-6_Little_Bird
