Blood for the Baron!

Hi Sqauddie,
Yeah, if you press the sellotape onto the hair & use it just like them sticky roller things for removing lint & loose animal hair off furniture or clothing...I've never tried the pen knife thing, but I guess if you use the bunt edge of the blade it would be O.K., personally I just my use thumb nail to rub the dust away from the Action mans scalp, the glue Palitoy used is really robust & can take quite a hammering.

The book's called:
Action Man, The real story 1966-1996.
Written by a guy called Kevin King & published by Cairo Cafe Publications.

The ISBN number is 0-9538870-0-6
I picked my copy up @ a toy fair, but I dare say you can obtain it from Amazon or ebay, hope this info helps.

thanks for the amazon link sundance very pricey indeed but thanks to the Baron hes found one half that price!

this website shows you cheap books
£13.33 Cheapest I can find on there click price to go to website

& I thought the £20 I paid for the book was a extortionate.

they all appear to be out of stock.

Yep you are right I didn't check before hand doh!

It's worth the original retail price, as the book covers all of the vintage Palitoy stuff, some of the early modern Hasbro AM range as well as Pediree's Tommy Gunn Range & a section that covers the large vehicles produced by Cherilea...but I'd never fork out £50 for it.

what was the retail price? i just paid £25

Hi.Squaddie..
just had a quick look, my copy has a r.r.p of £18.99...that was back in 2000, but I believe it was a low production run & is rare to find now...so your paid a good price, especially compared to what Amazon are asking for a 2nd hand copy
