Blood for the Baron!

Wow Space Commander, great customs!!! I love that idea!

In fact, if the Roll Call Convention figures went in a direction like this (i.e. straight limbed) then I'm buying...!!

Thanks for the kind comments, chaps. I will try to write a more thought-out reply when I've got a bit more time ...

I'm afraid I don't know what the figures you've mentioned look like. However, my old buddy Mark and I made a couple of customs long ago that might be of interest.

Our idea was to take some of the Hasbro style 'bendy' figures from 1983, and remake them using Palitoy figures from 1982.

:jammer ...

And I thought it was just a coincidence that my favourite mug had "Manufactured by the Dave Tree Tea Company" stamped on the underside...!

When I've got some spare change, (don't hold your breath!), I think I'll order one or two of these figures. If they're up-to-scratch, maybe I'll compose a ...

Uh, Dave? Anyone seen Dave? Mr Tree, please report to reception! You've got some moulds to find!

It'd be cool if we could get Funko and Hasbro talking....

Would be very cool but Hasbro will never let the rights go.
But maybe they could work out a licensing deal whereby both companies make a profit..., and we get the figures that we want (and might otherwise never see again) in the toyshops, and all three parties win!

If anyone's got any contacts ...

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but Palitoy not only made the original :originalaf: Action Force figures, they also made the original Star Wars ones, too. A new series of toys, designed specifically to emulate the design style of those Star Wars figures has been produced. What's ...

Tell us what plot you'd prefer; there are many possibilities!

Has ITV.com stumbled on the plot of GI Joe 3? Another World Leader / Cobra Operative pulls the strings, this time to catch :storm: Stormie?

Just kidding!

So, what would you like to see in the third ...

Like Happy Shrapnel, this thread deserved to be resurrected. What a great figure!

It's a shame that bftb.com doesn't own (or part-own) the rights to early :originalaf: AF (Palitoy era). If only we could change that. I'll keep buying those lotto ...

I love this custom, Muton. Very well done indeed. It truly captures the essence of Palitoy, and of :originalaf: Action Force; Action Man in Miniature!

If a miracle happened, and somehow :originalaf: AF came back, this is a figure I'd love to see for sale in the shops!

It seems like Hasbro is ...
