Action Force - Post 1985

[Chopper]

Thanks so much for that Paul. I was actually going to ask today if anyone had pics of the post BAF figures and vehicles. In NZ after BAF stopped and that dodgy Storm Force popped up Action Force pretty much ceased to exist. Also at that point Toltoys stopped selling "Action Man" figures and GI Joe appeared. Just looking at Yo Joe I'd say Toltoys stopped in 1985 and GI Joe took over. We didn't get all the figures either. I never saw Baroness, Duke etc in Toltoys packaging.

Sorry for the long winded post but this is kinda exciting for me. I have a few vehicles from this era too and am wondering if its possible to get AF stickers for some of them? I sorta shunned the post 85 stuff too. I much preferred the Z/SAS/Q/Space Forces. THey were a bit more believible. By 1990 I'd growen out of them and they had got so far fetched it wasn't funny. Still, Muton? Kraken? Its my fantasy world eh;-)

OK guys I'm going to compile a list of post AF pre Joe toys for the BFTB website. I will include international heroes as they are variants too I guess. So I'll download all these pics and start the list off. If anyone has any info, filecards or vehicle pics avaliable that would be really helpful.

Cheers

All I really have to offer are the 5 adverts from the Marvel UK adverts.

I'll also scan the flyers from the 25th Anniversary pile.

Excellent!

Great to see Chopper having a bash at sorting out the post-85, post-Palitoy years.

I scanned those brochures in originally with the hope of deciphering the mystery of that period but found it a bit too overwhelming for my precious time.

Looks like Chopper is the man for the job!

Also, great that you're adding photos from the 'Courtney's Caper's archive Scoobydie! You probably have or had most of the toy range from this period at some time so those photos are a great reference point.

Hopefully this will all help the evil Baron improve the archives and unravel the 'mystery years'. Keep up the good work fellas!

[The Baron]

Yep, once I have a better handle on what's what I will putting the shout out for info and pictures from this era.

[The Baron]

Hey Paul, please could you send me the hi-res version of this pic again please? I can't find it anywhere.

[The Baron]

Paul can't find the original scan, we both have the lo-res version. Does anybody else have this flyer, please?

[The Kraken Wakes]

I think I may have it, are there any others missing? We have an a3 scanner at work I can use...

[The Baron]

I have hi-res versions of these four (except for the Sky Patrol side of 1990):



I also have this little vehicle-only flyer from 1991. Does anybody have any others?

How far are we going to go? I stopped listing at 1989, after that it was GI Joe. Personally I think a separate section dedicated to Euro exclusive Joes would be better than listing what Yo Joe have already done.
