Sorry I missed everyones pleas on the other thread, but im listning now.

I have had a chat with Bendy about AFA grading and he didnt have much to say,
He just sort of looked at me with his one good(ish) eye, and I may have detected a hint of a smile ?

Anyway as I said in another thread, His leg has almost completely healed naturally over time but if you chaps would like to "borrow" him ? then thats fine by me.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Mr Bendy .. here is a brief history .....


Bendy is probably one of the most famous, or infamous Action Force figures still around today.

There is only one in existance but there may still be others out there ?

Bendy was a Z force radio operator in the early eighties but while out on a mission he got left behind by his team, and ended up being MIA for about 21 years !

He was discovered stuck up a tree with a severely distorted leg due to a branch growing around him.

He was recently rescued and was the subject of several mildy humerous posts on this very forum.

His controversial retirement plans were the subject of much debate, however after a brief visit to the Netherlands and after briefly going AWOL thanks the Royal mail ! he returned home and is now the Gunner in my ATC.

He was given The name Bendy due to the nature of his injuries, but is well on the way to making a full recovery.


The original Bendy thread ran for about 12 pages ..... Here is the link...........

hahahaha, excellent, my Dad found my Airtight in the garden after what was probably 15 years under a shrub. I still have him and he is very much a lighter shad eof yellow now :)

Does Bendy need a support fund for his AFA application? You could run a campaign fundraiser.

I think perhaps a vote to see how many people would like to see him graded ?

Can you stick one of those YES/NO boxes in here Baron ?
