yes, for those asking,. Action man was the international (legal and licensed) release of the 1966 version of GI Joe- no it was not a rip off as Hasbro got their cash for it. The iconic Action Man scar is what ties most reboots/versions to the original world war 2 doll. I'm of the belief that a WW2 doll might not play well into European patriotism if they had to play with a GI Joe doll, hence the rebranding. If you have a friend or relative from the UK who is a senior citizen, they may be able to tell you, with some fondness, about the WW2 doll. The change to the male version of a barbie doll in his post war rebranding was pretty interesting, I think he was a soccer player among other professions. This video finally gets to the origin at the 20 minute mark

Watched both cartoons when I was a kid, from the 1990s and 2000s. Action Man is still my favourite childhood hero. I also have the original Hasbro action figures.

I think the cartoon show series of (ACTION MAN) deserves to get rebooted for this era to see.

I loved the 90s cartoon... as an ADULT! I also liked the later incarnations. His action-related superpower was both subtle (from outside observation) and a totally cool idea... it's like having plot armor without having plot armor.

Good job with the video! However, there are a number of undressed issues regarding Action Man. First, is Action Man connected to the other animated story ATOM (Alpha Teens On Machines)? Second, was there an eighties G. I. Joe animated crossover episode where Lady Jaye was dating Action Man while fighting Cobra? Third, is it possible to combine all the different versions of Action Man leading up to IDW character Ian Noble for a live action movie or TV show? Fourth, which version of Action Man should be brought to a live action movie or TV show if only one version can be used, and what actor or actors should be Action Man? Fifth, if the rumors are true about IDW losing Hasbro IPs on characters like Action Man, will the story of Ian Noble count in new continuities? Lastly, is Action Man more like Kingsman's Eggsy or MI-6's James Bond?

Same. I did like reboot too, but that paled far in comparison to the 90s cartoon. It's cool that it was based upon a corny UK GI Joe clone. It's awesome when something is seeded in crap but grows into greatness.

@@That80sGuy1972 Yeah, the idea was rather generic but surprised me and was a cool cartoon for sure. Of course Reboot was cool too but out of all the 3D CGI looking shows nothing beat Beast Wars, that show was amazing lol

@@MKF30 The only thing I liked about Beast Wars were the CGI graphics. The story base made me go "meh..." I still watched it as mind candy. I just wished they made Optimus the big-truck version of an animal, like an Elephant... not an overgrown monkey.

@@That80sGuy1972 Oh well yeah that's the thing about BW, those transformers are evolved but smaller and the descendants of the original Transformers(from the 80's) the Maximals are the descendants of the Autobots and the Predacons are the descendants from the Decepticons. That's why you see Optimus Primal as an ape, and not a truck he's his descendant but not Prime himself. I loved the concept how they went back in time and the Predaton leader Megatron(descendant of the original Megatron) tries to destroy Optimus Prime to avoid their dark future in the war against the autobots lol at one point but it fails as the Maximals prevented that fate, and had to repaid Optimus Prime while he was in statsis lock. That was all Season 3 not sure if you got that far but they do show the original Transformers well some of them namely Prime and the original Megatron.
@That80sGuy1972 Жыл бұрын
@@MKF30 Oh, I understood the story. I'm not saying I hated it. I was just "meh" about it, while I loved the CGI. I might have liked it better if Prime's beast form was an Elephant... being big, except for Rhotdomus Prime, was a thing the Primes just were. They were the original titans of the autobots. I was also probably older than you when it came on TV. I was born in 1972. That and my being a lover of Transformers since my pre-teen years is probably why I don't love them like you do.

All this classical gems, are one of many things I’ll like to implement into that so called REVAMP of DC’s New 52, with Capcom/DC/Shonen in which I’m planning to name ‘The New 53.’ Simply put, that ‘Action Man’ would be my interpretation of Rico Rodriguez from the Just Cause series.
