Blood for the Baron!

Wow, I've finally managed to sign on after so many years of prevarication.
At 37 years old I consider myself an AF 'veteran'. I was buying 12 Action Man in the 1970's, migrated to the 3 3/4 "soldiers of the World" line and stuck with it through the Red Shadows right up to now where I'm buying all the 25th Anniversary GI JOE figures. These new figures are excellent and well worth buying, and yet...

My heart still ultimately belongs to those glory days of "Action Force". I always favoured the 'Enemy vs AF' scenario with the good guys split into their various 'forces' (I always loved Z-Force & Q-Force) and wish I still had all the toys I once owned (I have a very small handful left now). MOst of all I wish the BATTLE ACTION FORCE comic. I had them all, but as with my figures, they've gone the way of all flesh.
The reproductions on this site are wonderful (thanks so much for them) and a great remainder of the past (where they really that violent? ) and it's great to see them again, but they can't replace actually having the comic in your hands and their loss is my biggest regret. Oh for some enterprising soul to reprint these...

So thanks for this site. I'm glad it celebrates the British relative of GI JOE and I look foward to my stay.

Welcome Af veteran !!!!

Thanks for the welcome.
As a member of 'HissTank.com' I get to chat about GI Joe all the time. It'll be cool to 'meet' people more interested in Joe's closest relative.

Welcome aboard! Thank you for the praise, please make yourself at home.
