Action Man

I remember when I was about 9 or 10, waking up on christmas morning DESPERATE to have an Action Man in my christmas stocking. Now I don't want to get into that 'My Parents were poor but they did what they could, Mr Cratchett' scenario. But, in hindsight, it was true. Action men were an expensive toy back in the early 1970's and, although my younger brother and I were longing for one, we knew that we had no real right to expect one. But, absolute joy of joys! As soon as I managed to work my eager fingers past the obligatory orange and nuts and small stuff I just KNEW that that square box could only be ab Action Man! What a buzz! What a toy!

Acton man used to be so cool. At least when I was a "lad" my action man had Cool camo gear and some kickass realistic weapons. I remember he had an M16 type thing, a berretta and a cool combat knife. Should some fag like Dr X try "freeze the earth" or "promote homosexuality" My action man could have just shot the prick. But not now.

My children are 3 and 4 and have many of the Action Man range and they love them. I think it is great how they have been going for so many years and the kids still love them, not like all the other phases (teletubbies, pokemon etc.) Action Man varys in so many ways there are so many to choose from, this can be a pain sometimes when a new one comes out and they spot it, but I personally think for what they are they are not to expensive. They last them so many years and my husband has great fun with them to reminissing about his child hood haha. I just love watching the children play in their own little imaginary world with them, they give ...  Read the complete review

"Bang, bang!" My son got one of these for Christmas. On of my family friends is a soldier and my son loves hearing about his work, so enter Action Man! Now, I assume most people will know who and what Action Man is. He's been around for many years now, and he still shows no sign of ageing! The one my son has is dressed in Army Camoflage. He has a removeable jacket, which exposes a moulded vest and rather impressive pecs and a six - pack. He has khaki removeable trousers... and a bare bottom underneath! (Shock horror! But never fear, he has no male 'bits' or anything!!) The 2 shiny dog tags around his neck are metal and ...  Read the complete review
