Action Man Mission Mercury 10 - GI Joe goes into near space!
Рет қаралды 9,771
Күн бұрынOn 26th June 2016, a 1966 Action Man (GI Joe) named 'Major Bob Tom' plans a trip into near space from Coalville - the town of his 'birth' in the UK - to celebrate his 50th birthday.
The documentary charts the story behind the daring mission's conception, the reaching out to backers to fund a near space mission, the iconic mission and the legacy. The world's greatest Action Figure is still an inspiration 50+ years on.
A HD documentary film in 1080p of possibly Action Man's greatest adventure to date! A must watch for any Action Man / GIJoe / Geyperman fans
Running Time 25:32

Major Tom to ground control.... I'm OK, my back hurts because of my protein pills wearing off, but I will persevere! You will find me eventually.

My older brother had these. I used to look at them with "awe". These and "big Jim", I later had gotten a scuba diver "big jim". I really liked that figurine very briefly. I believe it had gotten stolen or so I thought, I had later learned that a man from a House renovations crew had discovered it and had taken it for his kids.

Very cool, with all of the publicity before and after the event, i cant believe i hadn't heard of this sooner! Somebody has probably given him a loving home who isn't even aware of the journey the little guy has been on! Haven't got an astronaut in my collection, but thats going to change very soon!

Great video. I never had the astronaut outfit and capsule in my collection back in the 1960s but one of my friends did and I thought it was fantastic. Being a David Bowie fan too, this video is just perfect. Thanks for uploading.

I had a 1973 Action man green Beret with material beret had it for years. Wish I still had that toy. He'd be in the cabinet now. I could kick myself giving it away along with chieftain tank, cannon and boat. If I knew then what I knew now I would have started collecting these action figures along with uniforms and accessories in 1980 with my wages

Early years of last year I picked up an 1982 Action man talking commander with eagle eye. Week ago called into a vintage toy shop. Thought I'd pick up one came back with 2. And saved money. A 1973 Action man Field commander and field radio boxed. And a 1992 G.I. Joe. US army soldier unboxed both in perfect condition. G.I. Joe missing a few items backpack pistol knife and case.

For everyone asking why they didn't close the door, it would not have made any difference. The capsule broke apart.

I nearly cried...the little guy's heroism is bound only by our imagination. Perhaps he needs a trip to the Titanic to celebrate his aquatic heritage.

But did the Major appear? And the capsule? Was the collision with a satellite or a UFO? Excellent preparation and all assembly, but I would like to know what happened to the astronaut and the capsule. At your command.

Wow what a great story and video. Well done all! Perhaps 'Major Bob Tom' was found or he is still out there on the ground or in a tree?

He is still out there in the open somewhere. Land Owners did not allow permission to search their arable fields at the time despite lots of publicity.

Why didn’t y’all close the door? I can tell there are zip ties but the door could also help
@WisdomDesignUK 4 жыл бұрын
Would not have helped in the way it fractured, but it was an oversight on the day. However the footage of Major Tom was clear as a result.

Why did they leave the capsule door open no wonder he fell out

Because in the song it says he could leave the capsule if he dared.
