Casdon Assault Course

Post by scoobydie »

Casdon Assault course ( now these days called "confidence course" due to health and safety and not offending/scaring anybody! )
Not sure of the year, but guessing about 81-83
Nothing to do with Action Force except for the mention on the front of the box
and the similar figures displayed.

Close up of the figures on the box

Fold up board with a nice scene of explosions and water features

Image

Instructions on how to put together your Deathslide, Rope Walk, Water Swing, Water Jump and Ladder
Image

All the bits unassembled in the box, for some reason now the brown coating comes off on your hands, highly recommended using gloves to assemble due to the fake tan look after wiping your face in hot weather ( speaking from experience here! )

Some pics of the side of the box displaying the great features that this toy beholds to the lucky owner :)

I actually need a few pieces to complete mine if anybody has any spares!

Let me find some gloves and I`ll give it a go :)
Seems this was quite a popular extra at the time, so people can relate to it.
Took me ages to find one, I always thought the deathslide slider was original A.F when I found it in the attic.

Fantastic! This is definitely going into the Miscellaneous archive. Thanks, Scooby!

Looking at the box, that's definitely a repainted 2 Para figure, but does anybody recognise the jointed soldiers?
