Something about that red, yellow, white, and blue packaging. Just beautiful
I agree. I have several of the original 9 AF figures from 1982 as well as a pretty large collection of Speciall Teams and even all these years later, the coliur and packaging style brings so many happy memories flooding back. Most are resting in my attic, well sealed waiting for the future. All except the originsl SAS figure. He stands proudly beside a huge 1950s retro robot and other assorted figures on my son's wardobe, keeping silent vigil for many years. What wonderful memories your videos bring back Tony Thanks for all your great work!!.😄👍
It is amazing how many figures survived the 80s still in the packaging. I have two Action Force re-branded GI Joes from childhood. The reason they weren't opened was advice from my mother. As they were doubles of figures I had, they were in the packaging, so if other figures get damaged, you can pull them out.
This video is a good reminder to pay my shipping for my carded and unguarded Desert Rats waiting in the overseas postal centre.
Your collection never ceases to amaze me, Tony. So cool.
It always amazes me just how many toys survived all these decades still in their packages.
I was just reorganizing some stuff this weekend and I had a G.I.Joe collection from 1997 and the blister slid off the card. Just fell off. Not to mention the issues of the new retro Indiana Jones figures falling off the card in retail. So yes, seeing a 1982 figure still MOC is amazing.
What a wonderful collection. I so regret that I let my Action Force go once I reached adulthood. If I ever get into collecting vintage this would be my starting point.
Another great video , cheers Tony.
Fantastic examination what it means to collect Mint in Package toys.
I would add one other element to the 3 you discussed, but I can't sum it up in 1 word: What to do with the collection after you are gone. Many of these toys are beautiful works of art deserving to be protected for future generations. I have seen some collections that have rare, one of a kind items. These collections need to be donated to a museum or some kind of Archive.
I mainly collect many Punch-Out Books from the 60's to the present. These books are so rare because in order to assemble the models within the pages, the book will need to be destroyed. Some of the less rare books only show up for around $20.00 US. But some of the rarer books can be $300 to $500+ if and when they show up on eBay. It is my hope that I can leave these books to a library Archive so future generations can see a part of pop-culture history.
Really awesome stuff Tony! I only dabble with carded figures in my collection but watching this video really did drive me to find some more of them to get. I love the simple art of the cardbacks on these figures and maybe one day if I find one I can get it to the United States since they are very hard to come by here!
Absolutely brilliant toy range and agree they look beautiful on display.
But boy is it a wormhole when you do start collecting these, especially when there are slight variants in figures and cards as well as that ever so faithful palitoy “Friday special”.
It can be never ending, 😉
Awesome video Tony, really well put together. A true trip down memory lane. Loved that Paratrooper I bought at Asda back in the day.
Great video Tony! Loved the history and back story on them!
Good ol action force video Tony! 🇬🇧🍻🇺🇸💪
those vintage carded AF figures are gorgeous, great content my man, keep on keepin on!
Great video sir. I’ve got my loose Desert Rat on the shelf next to a V2 Big Ben I just acquired right after Valacon. Love these figures.
Great video man beautiful collection
With you 100% Tony, I was there man! Loved the first AF figures and those specials were amazing! I remember my Mum getting the mountain set for my mates birthday, lucky bugger. I got the snow one for mine that year. Followed the battle action force comic too and what a time to be a little lad! Keep up the awesome work mate!
Action Force is well worth collecting. You have an amazing collection and I hope you fine the last few items for wave 1. Great Video!
Thanks mate!
This has come at just the right time Tony, my collection is becoming much more diverse these days and I have nothing representing action force or GI Joe in the collection room, and as I have zero knowledge on action force figures, this video has helped massively as having looked at action force MOC figures, I was surprised how varied the prices are, as well as easier to obtain cheaper / less desirable items.
This has given me enough knowledge to go off and make a start, thanks Tony 👍
Glad I could help mate!
Pretty amazing that those turned up carded at JoeFest/Valacon. I wonder where they came from? I've seen a few carded Action Force figures for sale here in South Africa for around R2500/US$140. No Arctic trooper though, unfortunately.
I have so few carded examples still have 10 of the 12 mutons I got off eBay for 20 pounds when I first started collecting action force again I just love the sheer variety of them thank you Tony for showing what a great toy line this is
I remember in the 80's I bought an Eagle comic, and that week they gave away a Zforce figure. That's how I got my radio operator.
So a 3 3/4th Desert Rat figure is Valaverse and Stan Solo?? Dude, your destiny has been written in the stars, lead us to plastic greatness!!!
Interesting video and subject
Just bought a loose Valaverse vintage style desert rat today. If carded ones are still available this weekend ill probably order one of those too purely for the autograph
I hate collecting packaged action figures because I love feeling the toys I LOVE ACTION FIGURES I collect not for the value but because I love setting them up and looking and interacting with the toys
@sexiestGungan, I'm the same. I don't play with them anymore, but I love holding and looking at the toy in my hands.
@@tarkentonlarry9973 I just love setting them up it’s nostalgic
being from the G I Joe side of the world, The Action Force Toys are like a Bad-ass alternate universe I was NEVER aware of before seeing the videos of various Collector channels. The authentic style real-world details are less cartoony, while still having future-tech and sci-fi elements. The minimal points of articulation seem to make a more robust figure,with leeway to sculp individual molds (no rust or rot)Meanwhile my box of joes have seemed to have met a devising fate in storage like they were all 'put to the Rack' and split at the waist from snapped bands.
I have all the Q force figures all on cards as they were a nice price and were my favourites, so it all slotted together for me
The carded Mountain and Artic set was released in '83. Series 1 & 2 where available into '86 when they became discontinued and replaced by Gi Joe figures from the '83/84 line on Palitoy Cards. By '87 Hasbro first released the '85 line with the Gi Joe card art in Uk & Europe.
What are you going on about. What point are you trying to make?
Love finding these loose in the wild !!
I know you did a video about when Action Force became the International Hero line, but I'd love to see what figures you have from the 85 range when the switch to GI Joe figures first happened.
As a kid I used to get my Action Force figures for a quid at Poundstretchers. The catch was the figures and the cards they were on did not match up. Scarlett on a Destro card etc. I had them coming out my ears lol
I ordered an open vintage Desert Rat, but I might need a carded one now.
It's nice to see those classic Action Force cards.
Palitoy on card is tough to find at a decent price, but worth the quest for a favorite character.
Ah...great days, got the complete set - is the only classic toys from my youth that I kept after selling off my classic Star Wars & Transformers....
For me, it's no fun to keep the figures boxed. I need to let them breathe, but sometimes there are certain figures that I just want to keep carded because the package design looks amazing.
Great video! One day I would like to get the SAS silent attack. Love the kayak reminds me of the movie Attack Force Z.
ACTION FORCE!!!
I totally love action force from palatoy but something I think would be too cost prohibitive for me to collect. I admire it and appreciate and even picked up a Muton (they are cheap). Long term I just have to appreciate it.
On the file card for the space engineer is Christchurch New Zealand as his birth place my home town too one unpunched for sale here in NZ for 255$
Man I need that Robo Skull
And opening vintage toys feels wrong I literally can’t do that
I found a bunch of carded Dick Tracy figures in my loft and thought I'd hit the jackpot. Was quite disappointed when they sold on ebay for about £6 each...
This is an easy answer for me I usually like to have a MOC and a loose example of my favorite figures and vehicles one to display and one to hold and pose but I find the packaging and the artwork (if any) of the Action Force line very bland so if I ever aquire any carded/boxed figures or vehicles I have no issues with opening them... Also I like to add for some reason this toy line is one I like to see some play wear on I like to see they were played with and enjoyed
I hope stan solo will consider doing a German Soldier for Indian Jones retro figure or some of ToD thugs. Great figs from stan solo.
Tony what are you doing to me! 1st you inspire me to collect vintage action man & now this video has got me interested in action force!!!! I MUST RESIST, I CAN'T RESIST, PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!! I'm now going to Google action figures anonymous (it's my only hope.😢
Where does the SAS squad leader rank on cost and rarity? Cheers
Take a look at sold listings on eBay
I should make a video like this regarding Crash figures. $500 for a non rare figure...
The repeated used of Mutt and Junkyard made me happy!
I wish toys were worth nothing because I love collecting toys
Plastic, carded figures wouldn't last long in a tropical country like mine where the weather changes a lot.
What will happen when the last of the generation that played with these toys as kids dies off? The nostalgia factor will no longer exist to anything like the degree necessary to support the current pricing structure, methinks.
How many collections will either be handed over to kids to play with, or end up in landfill?
I wouldn't worry about it, m8. Nuclear war or global warming will probably kill us all before that happens.
Tony you are a sales man and a half I’ll most likely be picking up a dessert rat
