One item only

Ok guys, a new open question to get your mental faculties racing!

If Palitoy had made just one more item in the Action Force range, either an original moulding, a Joe repaint or a vehicle from the Comic what would you like it to have been?

For me it is a tricky call, the Skull squadron fighter from BAF would have been cool, a Hercules for Z Force would also have been great. Given my well known preference for Space Force, my final choice may be surprising...

I would have loved to have had a Red Shadow Mi-24 Hind style chopper. Of course this would have had to come complete with two crewman: a Pilot and a trooper with a rapelling rope!

Nice question Steve.

Well for me I`d go with the Herc C130 mate for either SAS or Z force.
Though also the Crimson tide effect of Red Shadow frogmen & canoists would be another sure winner

Just one choice?
As much as I would've loved Z-Force or SAS to have had some air firepower, like the Tomahawk, Dragonfly or a fighter or transport, i reackon that the vehicle has to go to the Shadows. Either a new mould aircraft or what the shadows were always lacking some seapower. A repaint of the Moray would've given the Shadows the edge against anything that Q-Force could throw at them. It could just run circles around the Swordfish. Added to that I reackon that Lampreys would make a great Shadow repaint.

A kick-ass Shadow jeep to match the playability of the Z Force and SAS buggys.

Don't forget about poor old space force floating in lonley orbit and dieing of boredom with only the Robo-Skull for company, i would have loved to have seen some kind of Shadow space team to oppose them.
As for one item only what about a secret lair for Baron Ironblood complete with hidden escape vehicle/death ray launch silo and sharks every secret villian worth his salt has a shark pit to drop super foe/failed lackey/ door to door weapons sales man into.

HI Guys,
harrier for me,
mind you would of setled for a nice camo repaint of the joe's a10 thunderbolt.

the mL has a couple of really nice 3/34 scale planes and helis both old and modern, if they ever release a harrier could be a cool repaint project for me

Never mind the Tomahawk - check out this baby!

Just needs the purple/orange accessories painting yellow and the 'star' removed and it'll be ready for action (or Action Force)!

Difficult question to answer actually! I got it from a fellow Action Force Online member, there is a thread on another bit of the forum on this subject. I haven't thrown the box away yet, but all it says on that is 'Elite Operations' Air Force Helicopter. It seems to be imported to US by Toys R Us, and the website http://www.toysrus.com is given, but that takes you to Amazon.com, and the helicopter isn't listed. Therefore I think it may no longer be made. However I think I've seen the similar build, painted differently as a 'Zoo Force' (or whatever!) with a cage and lions etc.

By the way, I've only managed to get one Panther in properly, the two was just for effect. You can squeeze a Wolverine in, but it doesn't come out easily! Just thought; I haven't tried any Z Force yet. Give me a minute to see if the APC will fit...................
