You want bigger scans Baron?
Do you want to cover your living room walls or something?
The scans are done at 100% size so they are the size of the actual brochures which is between A3 and A2.
I can send you those j-pegs individually if you want?

Please, I'll make them into pop-ups (Not full-size, just large enough to read!)

Here's a better scan of Andy's other booklet - from sometime in late 1988:

Here's something that's interesting for me and Scoobydie - at the bottom of the leaflet it says made by Hasbro, Newport, Gwent.
I live in Cardiff about 3 miles from Newport and Scoobydie lives slap bang in the middle of the mighty 'Port!
I always assumed all the toys were made up in Leicester and that there's warehouses full of unused and unsold stock up there in some ex-production manager's attic.
Wonder if the production changed to Newport after 1985 and me and Andy are just minutes away from the same hidden goldmine!

Your right there Paul
Only just around the corner from me, never knew that before!
Could be worth a phone call, or a spec. ops at night to find out

Cool! Be sure to take a hidden camera with you so we can all watch you getting arrested on youtube.
Thanks for the new scans, I so badly want to paint a Night Raven red.

Excellent, I even remember some of them! It was the earlier ones that were the main bulk of my toy collection as a kid - I did start out on the original Palitoy stuff, but just as the Hasbro line was coming in.
Does anyone have any of the UK Hasbro file cards?
And are there any leaflets missing? I don't think I have any, but I'll have a look.

Hey Emram! Long time! Are you gonna join in the Prize Draw Giveaway? 2 hours to go!
Re: Action Force - Post 1985
Hahaha, I'm surprised (and somewhat flattered) that I'm remembered!
Yes, my interest in AF has surged once again, and so I'm back. I think I entered the draw (I just have to vote, right?), so who knows, I may end up with some sort of prize. Although I would feel moderately guilty if I swan back in after all this time and bag some winnings!
