The old Hasbro Action Force ad's are really nicely done & still look impressive even today.

From the 10.12.88 issue of Eagle & Mask, was this the replacement strip?

One of the comics is dated 3 days before a work colleague was born..& it must be said it's in a lot better shape than he is

Storm Force was the replacement and if memory serves me correctly it wasn't very good

Storm Force was yes T-shot I have one or two issues with them in but I have lost track of them. I liked them Paul.

Yes it is, I thought they were alright. Would have made a great toy line.

Thanks, I thought it may of been..have to say, after reading the Eagle comic, apart from Johnny Red & Charlie's War, to my taste from the story telling point of view the stories seem very juvenile compared to the Marvel comics plot lines & characterization, especially the toy licensed stuff.

I'm don't know who did the artwork for one of the Mask stories, but it looks a lot like the B.A.F. story art wise..even down to the look of the people & clothing involved...the main female villain looks like with a new hair do .

I used to play Storm Force with my Star Wars figures and wished they were out as toys.

Actually I'm tempted to make up some customs. As I recall the Mole Mahcine was the spitting image of the ROC drill machine thingy.

[Red Laser]

I don't remember that but the Mole reminded me of Professor X. I used a RoC Scarlett in Reactive Impact Armour for a custom with her hair black she would make a good Stiletto or whatever the SF woman was codenamed.

I do remember being very disappointed the first time I read the stories, missed all the AF stuff really. I still have all my Eagles and BAF's at my mum's must reclaim them sometime.
