The glory days of toys when the manufacturers gave you the parts and pieces to make your own adventure... today everything has to be its own figure or a repaint with the exact same stuff included.
I still cant believe how excellent these toys are even after all this time. The details and attention on the uniforms are outstanding.
The customizability of these International Heroes is stunning. The fact that customizing was so much a part of the play pattern with Action Man/G.I. Joe almost seems unique. I don't remember many other toy lines where customization was encouraged by manufacturers and their creating retail product to accomplish it.
Another excellent and informative video, Tony.
I'm honored to have been from such a creative era of toys. Watching your videos, reading your subscribers comments always puts me in a great mood. Long live Analog Toys!
I was gifted an action man back in the early 1970s one that talked when you pulled a string in his chest fond memories
I love what you have done with the UN Peacekeeper. Maybe one day I will try and obtain an Action Man and emulate your design. Great history lesson for me in this line.i am always a sucker for all things Foreign Legion, so a modern Legionnaire would have been awesome!
Some of my earliest memories in life, let alone toy memories is getting some of these sets! Pure nostalgia, but also showcases the quality of these items! Thanks for making the video, Tony!
Thanks for another great video it’s amazing what memories you have triggered. I had forgotten the small clips (which I recall were very fiddly to attach) on the parachute harness. Great times throwing my Red Devil from the top of the playground slide! I also think I can recall the smell of the tank commander jacket!
I could see the MG42 & MP44 with some future " elite "German releases. As you already noted, it is a shame they never got to production.
I love all the additional accessories you added and the details you made sure mated well together. Awesome. Outstanding video, Tony.
Thank you my friend!
Myself and my brother had alot of Action Man kit during the 70s an absolutely iconic doll /figure great uniforms of the world.
We had the following:
Scuba diver
Deep sea diver
German stormtrooper
German officer (Colditz)
French Legionnaire
French resistance fighter
Incredible detail .
Fantastic video, as always!
Love these videos! I remember having some of the 12 inch GI Joes that were given to me from a neighbor. What great memories.
Another cracking video, Tony! Thanks for the background and kitbash ideas for these excellent outfits.
The details offered in this excellent Analog Toys mini documentary, are equalled by the detail in design of the Action Man Internationals by Palitoy.
That Thames Television intro actually put a lump in my throat!
Thanks for another excellent retrospective Tony 👍
Your customs are spectacular, Tony. Thanks for another fun insight into your collection and Action Man in general!
Some beautiful customs there Tony. I had the Afrika Korps uniform, he was my Cherilea Panzer commander. The German Para and the US Marine. I love how you have made these really come alive with the addition of the accessories. And that gators trick for the UN figure is genius mate!
Action Man really IS the best. Another ace video my friend. Excellent mate.
awesome learning so much
The best Action Man resource out there hands down! Great video Tony!
Those Space Rangers give me a Jerry Anderson vibe. All of them Hanson figures, it’s always fun to see how others customize their figures.
You have brought a tear to my eye got so many wonderful memories to this time period ❤️
Excellent video mate👍👍👍
Such a beautiful set of figures. Awesome video!
Excellent video Tony! :)
Really interesting overview on The Internationals Range. I really enjoyed the tips on customising the basic uniforms.
I had Action man back in the late 60s, remember the life guard uniform. Cheers for the memories.
It’s great to see these figures again. I had four Action Men in the early 1980’s with various outfits. My favourite was a British guardsman uniform. It came with a bearskin hat, but after watching ‘Zulu’ I tried to fashion my own pith helmet out of paper to make him look like one of the defenders of Rorke’s Drift!
That UN soldier looks great, but I would ditch the UN bollocks and give him a British beret! In that tropical service dress with the SLR he could be a British soldier in Aden circa 1967! 👍🏻
Awesome Video,brings back fond memories 👍👍
Very cool, my man! 👍🏻
Once again a excellent video
Simply beautiful sets and figures. Great review.
All of this stuff is very cool
This reminds me, it was fun playing with the toys back then with my friends and cousins.
Those are very cool. Your customizations are awesome.excellent video.
Very cool thank you. 😊
Awesome video, Tony! Always enjoy seeing pieces from your Action Man collection!👍
Hi logic blaster
I spent a lot of time and money sourcing mint examples of selected International series and really glad I did. I have the German Para kitted out with the brown webbing which is accurate to the Fallschirmjager but not the pouches matching the MP40 but oh well.
Great video!!!
What a stunning video, Tony! Thank you for this fantastic fix of nostalgia. Action Man was my first real toy love, just before Star Wars appeared. Can't believe your depth of knowledge on this subject. This line looks superb and your video really shows them off. Never heard of them before. Were they released as part of the 40th Anniversary? I don't think they were. Shame that foreign legion one never saw a release.
"Only you know.... you and ACTION MAN !!"
AWESOME Video Dude. 😃👍.
I love the UN Peacekeeper outfit.
Great Videos 😊 I was born in 1972 and my cousin was a few years older…. I was 3 3/4 kid mostly Star Wars but I did love the 12 inch GI Joe line but didn’t have a lot of those but my cousin did but he was a jerk and wouldn’t let me play with them. Sadly he passed away in his 40’s and not long after his mom passed also and my Mom and I had to deal with the estate and I remember going into his childhood room and finding his old 1960’s GI Joes way back in his closet and taking them home were they still are today hopefully he’s ok with that.
Love the international range, I have them on figures but wish I had all the boxed ones to go with them, love your collection Tony 😎🤙
Remember the German para and africa corps uniform. As for the u.n uniform, the Brent gun ? The barrel would suggest it's the lmg due to the slim flas eliminator .
I do remember something called gyper man or on that lines possibly for overseas sales .
The one vehicle I always wanted was the landrover.
I never got one .
great video thanks for sharing
IMMWAOO the M-1 Garand Combat Rifle is a thing of Beauty.
I stand by this statement, on December 24th 2022.
My aunt lived on the next street to palitoy in Coalville and lots of my toys came out of their skip
Best video in a while, thanks 🙂
What’s wrong with my other videos?
@@AnalogToys Nothing, I just really like getting a good overview of the international sets, they have always confused me at bit 🙂
Excellent. So many memories. Why did I get rid of all my Action Man stuff?
Holy moly those are so cool. I never had nothing like that
My afrika corp cap has still got the round sticker on it,only one of come across in my time of collecting.
25 years as an adult.
Those look like fun action figures. They were long gone by the time I was into gijoe in the late 80s, early 90s
This brings back memories, I had the German paratrooper, the UN uniform and also the US paratrooper uniform.
I've often thought about collecting a few for nostalgias sake, but it's too expensive where I'm living now as Action Man products are very expensive on ebay and the shipping is almost the same price as the item. I'm not paying out hundreds of dollars for something I could buy for a few quid at a flea market in the UK. Although I did manage to pick up one eagle eyed Action Man amongst all the GI Joes in my local antique shop.
WOW absolutely blew me away watching this I was a huge fan of action man in the late 70's to early 80's I had Tom Stone the first black action man. I had the atomic man which I think was a rip off of the six million dollar man. I was still collecting and playing up to the age of 12 maybe 13. My friend next door was a huge fan also. I remember saving up the red stars and you used to get a basic action man through the post. The look the postman gave my mom handing a plane 13 inch box over lol. Really enjoyed the video. Thankyou 👍
I never realized that side eye was an issue all the way back then even!
My thoughts on space ranger were as yours. Use stock. Stocking filler. A release for a sadly failing line. This video again shows the quality and love the creators put into this toy line. It is the superior toy line for and when presented in your style appears timeless. Keep up the good work.
Liked the U.N. 7.62 LMG , based on a converted Bren Gun.
Amazing info and vid. Right regrettably as a teen, I had accumulated over 20 action men and a few GI Joes with fixed hands, gripping hands, eagle eyes etc. had a couple of talking ones too. Had nearly everything being spoilt kids, Hamleys and Harrods toy dept, the word ‘No’ never existed in my family lol. So you can imagine how much stuff I had, jeeps, tank, motorcycle, sea wolf sub, helicopter, training towers, nearly most of the blister packs of equipment, weapons, uniforms, sent off for so much stuff with the stars collections, dog, century box etc etc. The equipment that worked and classed as dangerous now- the bazooka shooting my mothers cigarettes out, mortar too lol.
We shot all the figures with a .410 shotgun, blowing them to pieces, set things on fire and literally was chucking handfuls of equipment, accessories, uniforms, everything, burnt the lot.
Looking back, what a twat! Utter and total P narse!
Nostalgia. I remember a friend having the German soldier figure in about 1972 or 1973 and I had the British Commando(?). We were about 7 years old. I couldn't understand why he wanted the German as we are Welsh. Fast forward to the 1990s, he moved to Germany and married a German so maybe he knew something back in the day. Like I said NOSTALGIA. Thanks for the video.
Every time I show my action figures and models to my parents they complain about the size being too small. Now I can see why these damn models were huge! And had a lot of charisma and character! I wish action figures still had this attention to detail! Switching their uniforms whenever you felt like it! Even have a lazy soldier! Wow I might have to start collecting these now.
Você e o britânico dos brinquedos analógicos🇺🇸🇬🇧❤️❤️
When it comes to toys with good detail and good quality clothing, Action Man was that toy.
Used to have the WW2 German soldier , French resistance , Ski patrol , U.S uniform with a cape and many more . Given away many moons ago l,m sad to say . Never realised how rare and collectable they would become all these years later . Does anyone remember "Tommy Gunn" the British version of action man ?
One of the best toys back in the 70s and 80s s**t i had a bedroom full of these.
The German paratrooper could be wearing an Italian camouflage smock, which was not unusual apparently.
Great video Tony. I always regret selling off my huge collection of Action Man figures and accessories to get the money for a racer 10 speed bike.
Best outfit was My mountaineer’s set ..my Nan bought me a husky sled to go with it ..
These were the best toys
A long time ago, both of my brothers had a pretty thorough collection of these figures and boxes of accessories. I called them their "Barbie Dolls" which did not please them. Whenever possible I would snatch my sister's pink plastic Barbie car and put two of my brothers' figures hugging each other in it. Yeah, it was cruel, but I considered them a colossal waste of time and money, which was in short supply at the time.
You're weird
God i had a wardrobe full of AM stuff the dinghy tank jeep about 15 AM all different from plastic hair t gripping hands ,now look at their value its crazy .The spaceship i saw on Ebay for £ 1500 quid :o i got that in 1977 when my Man City Season ticket was a fiver
now its the same price as the current value of that space ship !
I had all of them& I’m sure I had a huskie set too,not sure though, it was a while ago now🤷♂️
the Bren isnt a Bren but a LMG, same but different weapon. the biggest giveaway is the magazine shape.
7.62 LMG fondly remembered.
Specially it’s 30 round mag fitted on the SLR, and worked well ( no stoppages) even without beefed up springs for magazine.
Hola from México !!!
I can remember the space ranger coming with a rubber uniform . Am I miss-remembering this ????
No there was more than one Space Ranger. The Space Ranger Commander was the only one with a rubber jumpsuit.
Anyone remember the action man sailor with the beard? Something I haven’t seen for 40 years.
Tony you get your Dorkside order?
Great video mate..love your style and presentation skills
I had some of these toys. Haha
Great stuff, Palitoy was really killing it! I'd love to have seen what kind of cross pollination there would have been had the G.I. Joe l8ne continued in the states.
It is weird how the latest Action Man sets (The small ones, not the Deluxe) seem to have this same feel. They really need just a few accessories to make them shine (a few pieces from my old kit and the Officer Candidate is a UNIT soldier from the Tom Baker/Jon Pertwee era of Dr. Who). This makes sense when you have a lot of older sets and parts to pull from, but to do it now just send people off to other places to make it work.
Action man were just the best toy ever. Nothing has ever even come close. As a kid I had about 8 action man dolls including Tom Stone and The intruder, both my favourites.
Toys nowadays are crap by comparison.
My best toys were Action man, bionic man, stretch armstrong, big trak and Simon. I could go on. I miss my child hood. Even xbox or playstation don't come close.
Wow, I know Hasbro discontinued G.I. Joe in the mid 70's. It's nice to know Palitoy kept the line going.
Just got the bit's together to make the British paratrooper that is in that picture. Because recently i watched a old war movie. The para's and some was wearing olive green overall over their uniforms. Now I need a head with a ginger moustache. For the sergeant. Can you here the bagpipe's sir.
I still have my GI Joe .
Am perplexed, as MY x 3 Action Men ALSO had varying international weapons/uniforms, yet they were NOTHING to do with this later (1979) series, as by then I wuz into "Girls, M/cycles, Girls, Electric Guitars & (Erm), GIRLS !!!!! - My dalliance w/Action Man was 1969-1973 or 74
"Rifle Rack", 17th/21st Hussars, Royal Household Cavalry, French Resistance, Wehrmacht, plus some bizarre Orange Frogman's suit (!), also, "Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders" (smart)
Also, THIS, below, which MIGHT date it as early as 1968 ?
You collected coupons (side boxes) & sent-away for a "Boxer Guard/Mastiff Boxer Dog"
IIRC, it wasn't commercially available, only by tokens on official products.
By chance, WE as a family had a STUNNING Boxer doggie as a pet (loved her to bitz !)
That's THE main reason I asked my Mum to send-away, request, via Mail-Order (Palitoy ?)
Around 1971//1972 I nagged her to buy the "Action Man HORSE" - (I still have it !!!!!!)
Aside from the official Boxer Dog & huge Black Horse, I also had the solid plastic "Rubber Dinghy Assualt Boat" (complete w/working outboard motor)
I also had the fabulous "Daimler or AEC Armoured Car" - It seemed HUUUUGE !!!!!
I sincerely believe I still have ALL FOUR of the latter, all licenced official products
(The 'Action Man Boxer Dog/Mastiff' is still here, in this bedroom cabinet as I type.
However, my MAIN "love" (pets aside !), were my AIRFIX kits, my true love
All of my own Action Men had "hair" (velvety artificial), the very first year it came out
Any of you lads have ANY idea when that 1st-year was ?
Also, can ANY of you "resonate" with the earlier equipment I've mentioned ?????
P.S - Everything I've mentioned (had), were ALL "official licenced products**
**(none of it 'aftermarket' BTW)
If you have the tskuda excludive versions or Takara combat joe I'd love to see that
Wow what a video I have all my Action Man stuff still but some figures have lost their heads which I have still any ideas how I can repair them ie reattach their heads? Many thanks
ruclips.net/video/q2W2XL2gCqg/видео.html
@@AnalogToys thank you very much
African core officers look straight out of Indiana Jones and the last crusade
Had loads of them German uniforms the lot wish they would bring them back
Ah, GI-Joe in England. Neat.
Have you checked out skunk works? Does some great custom accessories for 12 inch Joe’s
You should have added the BAR rifle
Oh really? Well Palitoy never made a BAR rifle for Action Man so you should mind your manners before posting a comment that is both rude and stupid at the same time.
Hello do you have a video on the action man vehicles…?
I got an empty box , ma auld man said he must have deserted .
Seriously , I just saw dolls for bhoys .
Growing up, did you have a favorite combination? And what's your favorite now?
I didn't have any of these uniforms in childhood but now I'd say my favourite is the USMC.
It's a shame proper Action Man toys are no longer a thing, Considering how much toys cost these days - especially Lego, I reckon they could sell these at a profit. I guess the main sticking point is that military based toys are out of favour, but I guess kids could have a non military figure bought for them and then buy accessories.
Action Man IS back though! They even released 7 new figures this year! Soldier, Marine, Officer Cadet, Pilot, Night Ops, Freeze Force and Deluxe Soldier
Wow, thanks. I think I can do something with your info. By the way, I hate the look of those space rangers... It's soooo retro looking.
...
At 70years old I'm retro as well!!!
I have 2 comments
1.for the Russian why not use The Action Man Kalashnikov Machine Gun from the equipment center it looks like a Russian PKM
2. for the UN peacekeeper they look like Dutch peacekeepers who operated in Lebanon in the 1980s ruclips.net/video/bgm43E87qbA/видео.html
I have 2 comments
1. The Russian PKM was first introduced in 1961 and definitely not available for use during WW2
2. Many nations have troops who have served with the UN. Perhaps they also look like the Irish soldiers who were at the Siege of Jadotville.
@@AnalogToys 1. In my personal opinion the Russian can work as soviet forces for the cold war and ww2 so that's why I think it would work. it would be cool to make a custom cold war soviet Infantry .
2. I don't know how long the dutch were in Lebanon I think first in 1978 but I think it was likely in the news when they were designing the UN Peacekeeper I know there were some BBC specials on about Lebanon at the time
If you need weapons why not make them on a 3D printer?
If you think you can just buy a 3D printer and start producing everything you want and need, I have some friends you need to talk to.
these new action man are shite compared to the 1990s. action man is dead and now cheap and poorly made. they axed the best toy ever and destroyed it, only to reappear with trash
