So nice to see a person get real pleasure from a kind gift. I treasure those few times where I have been that person getting the gifts and it is something great for thebsoul of people watching. Hats off to George! Now I know where all complete SAS commanders are 😉

Loved the Z Force stories in 'Battle Action Force'. They usually involved them being caught out in some dire situation in a country where they were isolated and had to fight against the odds. "Desert Strike" with Major Maddi and the jump jet and "Jungle Terror" with the Mamba men...fantastic story writing. Q Force vehicles were awesome looking as well!

As an American GI JOE collector , I was never exposed to Action Force and knew nothing of the line until a decade ago. Your channel has opened up a whole new exciting world of action figure collecting, and for me, although I'll never acquire any Action Force toys (unless I find some locally) I like learning about them. I have the US version of the APC and to me it was one of the most practical toy vehicles of the line. I also find the UK versions have so much more features , colors and details which make them so much cooler to me.

@@georgeaitken2719 it seems Palitoy had some pretty ingenious R&D people. Look at the Action Man flocked hair (adopted by Hasbro), the Action Man Kung Fu Grip (adopted by Hasbro), and the Action Man Rolling Eye System (not adopted by Hasbro). Palitoy kept a 12 inch line interesting and in production until the early 80s. Then Action Force, besides being 5POA (some of my fondest memories are playing with Fisher Price Adventure People and Star Wars, both 5POA), the vehicle designs were landmark. If only Hasbro was smart enough to hit the well of Palitoy vehicles through their shared interests and designs. APT on Blood for the Baron site looks incredible. Cannot wait for Tony's review!

So what's it like feeling young again? Awesome Tony!

What another fantastic Action force video! Well done Tony and George!!!

2 days ago I picked up an Action man Cadet Officer. Art & Science Hasbro Painted head. ( boxed ) mint condition. Complete. Still fastened to the card. Yesterday watched some videos of this action figure. Mine comes complete with belt holster pistol badge on beret and dog tag. Really pleased with it. Then came across a Deep water salvage uniform complete still in package unopened. Also got a bag of weapons in silver and finally an action man trunk to store everything in. Then I bought a female figure from star wars force of destiny only thing missing is the weapon blaster. Unboxed Then yesterday I picked up a 12"" Storm Trooper and Finn from the Force of destiny unboxed. So three figures to start me off with Star Wars collection
