ACTION FORCE COMBAT KIT by SALTERS
The Action Force Combat Kit was one of at least two “Salters Adventure Kitsâ€.
These “Adventure Kits†were sets of child-sized accessories produced, under licence from Palitoy, by Thomas Salter Ltd.
Salters were a British toy company based in Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland, who produced both their own original toys, including "science" toys, & licensed Items such as jigsaws & transfers. Among their other licences were The A-Team, Masters Of The Universe, My Little Pony, Street Hawk & Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi.
A second “Salters Adventure Kit†was the Action Force Communications And Code Kit.
The packaging of the Adventure Kits does not show any of Palitoy’s Action Force toys & none of the items included in the Combat Kit had any Action Force markings at all, however some of the paper & card items in the Communications And Code Kit did have Action Force markings.
Other companies may have produced some of the items for Salters, eg the binoculars are marked “Ah Luen†& the P38 Pistol is marked “HG Toysâ€.
CONTENTS The contents of the Action Force Combat Kit (shown above packaged in the inner cardboard tray) are a Break-Down Rifle, 2 Code Watches, a Play Walkie Talkie (Water Squirting?) in black, & Binoculars with Strap.
I do not know if there were any Instructions as the set I have did not include them, but it was unsealed so they may have been lost.
BREAKDOWN RIFLE The Break-Down Rifle (shown unpackaged above, both disassembled & assembled) consists of a Pistol, Silencer, Telescopic Sight, Ammo Clip, “Extension Tube†& “Stockâ€.
MORE INFORMATION NEEDED
If anyone has them I would be gratefull if they could post pictures of the Communications And Code Kit & let me know if there were any other sets.
I hope this information & these pictures will be of use.
