More greetings from downunder!

Hi Guys,

Like Deadborder I am from Australia too and I also had a strange and kind of patchy relationship with Action Force.
As a kid I had 12" Action Man dolls and then started getting the 3,3/4" Action Man figs when they came out in '83.

The smaller scale Action Man figures were cool because they were a sort of blank canvas. I didn't have much back ground story about them (apart from the file cards) and I just made up stories to go along with them working in the file card stories.

A few years later a friend of mine from England showed me some Action Force figures he owned and later gave me a few figures and the 1986 annual and I would put in orders with him when he went to England for visits.

I also have relatives in Germany and they sent me an ATT Jeep (which, as a kid, I customised by painting a Cobra symbol on the bonnet with whiteout correction fluid...jeez I regret that now!)

In 1986 or 1987 GI Joe came out in Australian stores and I really started collecting, stopped in my teens and have recently (mid life crisis?) started collecting again.

Anyway it is good to see so many fans and to be a (small) part of Blood For The Baron!

G'day mate. Sounds like the usual AF story. I'm in Melbourne, nice to see another from the land down under.

Hi Chopper,

Melbourne is a great place! I am in Canberra [but don't hold that against me ; ) ].

Take it easy.
