Action Force UK Figs

Post by tankduel » Mon Apr 07, 2008 2:35 pm

In the first few waves of Action force (UK's early version of GI Joe) there's a few decent 'non fictional' figures. Most lack the 'joe' articulation and only have limited poseability, but for me that makes them look more realistic. I picked up a bunch of 'Z Force' figures with the 'Z Force' repaint of the MOBAT, the Royal Marine Captain is nice! So, I got to researching them some more and just bought the German Stormtrooper and Desert Rat, the'll go well in an XD collection I think.

I like the australian jungle fighter too.. :)

too bad none of the british figures have helmets. I've been aching for british helmets since xd began.

however, my trick knee tells me we're in for some xd brits soon...

The Z force figures were the first ones that i bought as a kid and i still love them! the look and gear they came with lend themselves more to the Falklands war era rather then anything modern but they do look great.

Aferguson i really hope your right about the Brits! i have been hoping BBI would do some more.
