Ron sounded convinced, but I assured him that this was just the start and there could be more proof just waiting round the corner to be found. Lucky for us, there was. About a month later I had the opportunity to visit the ex-Palitoy lead designer for Action Force to discuss a collaborative project. The topic of Special Weapons Force came up, and whilst the exact details of each and every figure were hazy after so many years, he did indeed recall Boffin (being the only Palitoy character to feature a beard).
