SteveD's Vintage Action Men (so far!)

[SteveD]

looks brilliant steve, really nice set up too. the last picture i can't help wanting to turn the camera to left and peek at the other goodies you have in the display cabinet, excellent stuff.

The cabinets are a little more full than they used to be mate! Not flowing over, but just a little more full than they were! Will do some updated pics one day soon.

Steve, obviously completely love it all. The Ground & Arctic Assault AM's are two of my faves! Surely you need to stand the little mini AF versions on the shelf next to them????

I suspected you might mate! I think our tastes are rather similar with this collecting lark! I did toy with the idea of standing them next to their mini me's, but then I'd need to buy new ones for the cabinets, as I couldn't handle the idea of there being gaps in there! (although for things like the ground assault, where I have about 10, there's really no excuse!)

Great collection Steve I see you have an original version Cylon figure amongst your shiny things and nice tits Jaye.

I've a full set of series 1 Battlestar figs MOC Ironblood! That's another one of my weaknesses!

As always mate, cool colection!

On the rubber restoration subject, I was once told that mineral oil's good for keeping it (old rubber)supple....

excellent set of Action Man Figures steve after seeing these and paulitoys i may have to start to add to my lonely original

oh and i especially love Carded Corner, reminds of being a kid again in a toy shop and drooling over all the figures hanging on the shelves

Steve, just noticed that there's a carded He-Man figure on display. Is it Leech?

Do you have any others?

I had my 'He-Man' phase earlier in the summer and ended up with a shelf full of about 20 figures. Always wanted a He-Man collection as a nipper..

Well spotted paulitoy! It's whiplash, and he's my only one. So far. They go for pretty hefty prices, so not got any others yet. And they're quite big too!
I had a huge collection as a kid, but I sold them!!

[gung-hoeddie]

i never had any as a boy, i'm still trying to fight off the urge to start collection star wars.

[buddusky]

I had a Masters collection as a kid...another one that my Mum gave away...sob...sob...sob...weep...weep...weep!

Ironically Steve, I have a memory of getting Whiplash from the massive Tesco toy department in Gateshead.
