the head AF sculpts really were just the AM heads miniaturised!!
is the hair pretty tough or does it rub off?

If you want your own little flocked fellows, the guy that made them for me was ActionBurt:

http://action-burt.lefora.com/

His name is Mike, its his website and he does them in about a 3 week turn around.

Brilliant quality, just like an eagle-eyed AM.

Tell him I sent you please!

Got the other palitoy box and its great thanks...

Glad you liked the mini playset box Matt.

I wasn't planning on selling these little AM boxes, but if there's demand, I'll happily get more done.

I've one spare yellow box which is pending with T-Shot. If he doesn't want it Matt, then you can have it instead [£5].

The hair is very durable S.O.

It stays on really well.

Fantastic!

Looking at the pics I keep wanting to rub their heads (ooer).

The AF/GI Joe range never went for fabrics and textures much (Cobra Commander's cape aside), certainly not in the way that the larger Action Man and most girls toys tend to, so deviations from the largely solid plastic world of AF are great to see.

I guess these are things really for the AF collector at 'our end' of the spectrum, ie, the Action Man fans...

I agree with you Paul, I just can't embrace any of the other stuff as nice as it all looks. I do support other peoples collecting habits though but it's Palitoy all the way for me.

Wow, I missed this on my travels. Paul, you've outdone yourself. I'm gob smacked. VAM rocks. You truly have a gift my friend.

I have come to the recent realisation that VAM was my first love and you really haven't helped in preventing me getting more. ;-) Luckily my wants list is nearly complete. Can't say the same for AF tho, plenty to go and all this does is make me want to get the wave 1 stuff too.

Well done old chap. oh, and will you be selling these too?
