ACTION MAN - CAPTAIN ZARGON

[LDR]

Well i promised i wouldnt start collecting Action Man aswell, but ive decided i want to get one of my favourite toys as a child - Captain Zargon.

So, im looking for a near mint boxed one, anyone know one for sale? Also how much am i likely to have to pay?

Thanks!

Lewis lewis lewis (tuts and shakes his head.....) You're as weak as I am!

(sorry mate, cant help with it - but good luck!)

[LDR]

lol.....i need info of where to find one Steve...help!

[SteveD]

I'd start by looking in outer space? But then again that is based on the assumption that the Zargonites were, in fact, real.

If I'm looking for a toy I tend to try as my first port of call, the room at the top of my house at the back - there's loads in there. If that's not successful then I turn my attentions to ebay or the internet in general? (sorry mate, I'm just being a pain in the arse now arent I?)

On a serius note VAME forum is good - very friendly and some members here are also members there (Pauli, myself (although I dont post much)). Could be worth sticking a "I would like a Capt Zargon" thread on there?

Lewis you will be about £100 for one of those boxed (may be more) and they are like rocking horse sh*t!

Great news that you've been bitten by the Action Man bug Lewis!

I was REALLY into AM's last year and now have loads. Luckilly I have all the ones that I want now, so we won't be battling for anything AM-wise!


This pic of mine is old and I have more Space Ranger AM stuff since this pic was taken:





I have the regular AM Eagle Eye Zargon trooper like in the pic below but not the Zargon Captain as I never had him as a kid and so he's not one of 'my faves'.

£120 for a boxed Captain seems about right to me, though.


Good luck with the AM's - post pics of what you get please!

I love that picture Pauli! Your AM collection really is brilliant! (actually, as are your Star Wars, and AF collection - you jammy so and so you!).

One thing always makes me chuckle with it - the guy in the rubber Space Ranger suit always looks to me like he's looking sideways at the other lads in a slightly embarassed "my suit looks silly as my feet are floppy" way! My light blue rubber suit (for AM, not me personally!) was always the same as a kid - squished down when the figure stood up! And always smelled of Talc too!

Cheers paul, i'll let you know how i get on.

Glad also the prices wont be going mad, with us bidding against each other.

On a side note PM sent.
