My name is Erwin and I'm from the Netherlands. In my youth, I really enjoyed playing with G.I.Joe (and Transformers, hence the handle) and through the combination of my love for G.I.Joe and wanting to maximize my allowance came into possession of quite a few Action Force figures as well.
Like so many of you, I enjoyed the newness and lack of background story as all I knew were the G.I.Joe cartoons on Sky Channel, so these figures like Steeler, Quarrel and Stalker could be anyone I wanted them to be. Plus, in the final days of Palitoy I managed to buy a lot of cheap G.I.Joe figures in those 4-in-1 Action Figures packages.
Unfortunately I'm no collector. Not enough room in my house, not enough cash and too many other time consuming hobbies like my loving girlfriend, sports and a love for retro computers (particularly the demoscene, should this ring any bells). Last week I helped my parents clean up their attic and found my old G.I.Joe and Transformers collections, including all the AF figures. I kinda wish I could keep them and start collecting them, but I have decided to sell it all.
In trying to figure out what I have, I stumbled upon this website and boy am I glad I did! The amount of knowledge pooled here is incredible, and the love for the collection is almost palpable

Too bad I didn't find this a few months sooner. I was in Melbourne this October, could have just handed the thing to him!

Cheers,
Erwin/Ironhide
