Thanks John!! 🙏

Thanks Sean!! 🙏 Me too, but this video making lark is getting in the way 🤣🤣

Thanks Nick!!! 🙏 Very pleased with the result 👍

Yeah, and since this video, this Action Man now has the correct back pack and looks even more realistic!! 👍

It certainly was!! Such a unique line and Palitoy did a great job introducing so many different realistic outfits 👍👍

Thanks! 🙏

Yeah, definitely one of my favourites 👍

@@VintageToyRush 😊👍

Thanks Luke!!! 🙏 This video was a risk really, had no idea how it would be received. So am glad you have given the 👍 and you were glued to it. Perhaps I should never appear in a video again 🤣🤣 I think Action Man is an amazing line, can't think of anything from the day with so much realism and detail.

Yeah, they are surprisingly detailed - when Palitoy worked on new designs they would sometimes collaborate with the real life counterparts to ensure they got the details right 👍👍

Ha ha Mr Rum!!! Yes Fruit eating ASMR has to be next on the production list 🤣

He sure is 🤘

Yeah back in the day we just treated them as toys! But now as collectors we can see the quality and depth 👍 Not sure I understand your question?

Ha! I can imagine you don't like to sit around doing nothing for long 🤣 Yeah, to think these were toys for children to chuck around, just amazing detail, although blinking fragile!! Thanks for watching Marc 🙏 Now you can resume at your normal level of 11 🤣

@@VintageToyRush HA HA!!! Dancing right now!

Oh yes can't get enough of Palitoy 👍 Thanks for watching!! 🙏

Thanks Marc!!! 🙏 You do need one - but which one? there are so many to choose from 👍👍

LOL thanks for watching!!! 🙏 hopefully you're not going to be operating any heavy machinery soon 🤣

Thanks! 🙏

Thanks!!! 🙏 Can't disagree with you it is stunning 👍👍

Ah yes, good tip!! 👍👍

Nice! Hopefully you can find the net 👍 It's one of my favourites too especially when loaded with all the accessories.

Thanks for your kind words, really appreciate that!! 🙏 Yeah add an Action Man, it would definitely complement your WW2 gear - if you do display your gear I'd love to see some pictures - I try to catch Combat Dealers on TV when I can 👍👍

@@VintageToyRush It's very tempting, now that I'm finally getting mys stuff displayed I'm having to make quite tough decisions on what to keep / display so I'm going to hang fire right now. I might display the stuff, love Combat dealers, have a passion for the history and the time frame thanks to my dad and grampa, I feel like it all carries a bit of stigma though (a bit like toy collectibg to be fair) 🤣 thanks again Dave!

Ha!! That would be cool!! Thanks for watching!! 🙏

LOL he goes commando? I'm still laughing now 🤣 Well this version maybe, but the later Action Men are known as "Blue Pants" cause they do have blue pants, so they're more reserved 😎 The Combat Soldier didn't actually exist as an off-the-shelf outfit - you bought a simple Action Soldier which could then be accessorised by purchasing "Combat" cards with weapons, additional clothing, tents etc so a complete "Combat Soldier" has loads more stuff!!! Thanks Tez for your kind words on this video - wasn't actually going for this style, but in the edit it presented itself so wasn't sure how it would be received 🙏

@@VintageToyRush I'm still gutted i threw what action men I had out. I had the duck tank and Army Jeep with trailer and dinghy. All that kit rolling is awesome 🤔

@@TeZXSpectrum i threw my action man out when i moved out of my parents house, i can remember doing it, it pisses me of that i did it and couldn't have cared less about him at the time. And it pisses me of that i remember so clearly when i was throwing loads of stuff away but remembered only action man specifically.

You have me intrigued now - I'm not actually familiar with slotted shoulders so will look it up and see what's going on with this figure 👍

@@VintageToyRush extremely late reply But I just took another look, and yeah this figure just has the basic shoulder A slotted shoulder was when a really early Gi joe figure had a circle cut out in the top of the shoulder were the hook that holds the arm on goes The figures that would come after that one never had slotted shoulders The bottom of the neck also had a slot in the bottom

There are different types of Action Man bodies - take a look at www.actionmanhq.co.uk/pages/identifier.php to identify which one you have. In most cases, the body will need to be restrung. Take a look at Toy Polloi's channel - he has great videos on how to restring an Action Man. If the joint has a rivet, it's more difficult and the fix can potentially damage the body as you'll need to retighten the rivet usually with some force required (so I'd leave those alone). Hope that helps. 👍

@@VintageToyRush great advice. Thank you so much !!

Sorry, don't understand your question 😀

Sorry what Soap did you use To wash the uniform

For Action Man clothing, I usually just use warm water and hand wash. Then leave to dry on a paper towel. The dye on them tends to run easily. In some cases, may use a little washing powder in the water.
