The Z force tank was an amazing toy. I had one as a boy and loved it. The fact it was battery controlled and moved on its own, could change the direction and run over your enemies was always fun.
GI Joe was for me as a kid the ultimate toy. I loved it. My little brother and I had just gobs of them. We played with them for so long that when we got board with GI Joe we began to play Post nuclear apocalypse / Road warrior with all of the trucks and wheeled vehicles. I had no idea that many of the toys had been given the Lend Lease treatment to our brothers across the pond. This is a fantastic video. Its really interesting to see the two companies design and marketing choices with the vehicles and figures. The stories for the characters and how the toys interacted with one another. I have to say I like the Action Force camo and uniformity a little better than the Joe's which always were a polyglot of colors and patterns. Only much later did Hasbro decide to theme the figures and vehicles when they would do repaints of older toys. I like that look much better. Thank you for showing these.
I cannot thank you enough for this series as I had so much of this range and still have some in storage although heavily played with and the action force figures have lasted longer than the Gi joe ones. The action force range was just amazing
It's been fun watching and learning all about Action Force. You have an impressive collection and I am happy that you were able to finally finish. Thank you for sharing with us. Action Force is definitly a line that deserves more recognition and rereleases.
I had a Captain back in the day. My aunt had bought it on a swamp sale. The thought he was a star wars figure and I was quite puzzled when she gave it to me. I knew it was no star wars figure, but I added him to the collection and made him a kind of rebel commander. It was always difficult to find him, when I was done playing in the backyard. His camo was to good :-D
Great finale to the Action Force series. Its a good thing you took your time to properly & correctly present each segment, giving each section equal time. I also appreciate that you've ALWAYS been Objective in ALL your videos. Again, the British take on the New Shadows is superior to the way DDP ever did when they had the Joe license (no wonder Hasbro Disavowed their entire output). The Z Force is essentially the 'open' military side of G.I. Joe & S.A.S. is the covert/spec ops arm. Nice! Quarrel's a revised Scarlett. In G. I. Joe lore, the R.A.M. (RApid Fire Motorcycle) is strictly Rock 'n Roll's ride, just as the later Silver Mirage Turbo Motorcycle is Lady Jaye's. The aborted Mobile Command Center seems better than the G. I. Joe version (which seemed based after a Star Wars Jawa Sandcrawler). The one flaw of both the Joe and Action Force HQs was that it lacked rear wall panels.
Superb and glad I kept my collection. I loved the attack cannon, a present from my dad when I was about 9 for having my back teeth removed under general anaesthetic! I remember buying it now from the Co-Op in Blackburn, still with a swollen mouth days later. As a nine year old I always thought it was strange that Quarrel had a big face and didn’t wear a helmet when riding a bike. Anyway, I was lucky enough to have a foot in the other camp as my cousin in Canada used to send me over GI Joe too. Thanks for this series of brilliant videos. I loved action force and this fantastic video series made me look fondly back and also discover some items I didn’t have/couldn’t afford/never saw in the shops (yes toy shops, remember those?).
I love this channel, thanks Tony. So many lovely memories both remembered and forgotten. Thank you to all involved in bringing this channel to the public.
Ooh!! As a kid, I had two loose figuars that I got from a bargan bin but I never knew what they were from. 34 year old mystery finally solved for me. Thank you for this vid.
That was great Tony, thanks! The ATC and the command centre are awesome! I was firmly entrenched in Star Wars toys, and I was a little older when the G.I Joe figures came out in the U.S. I admired the line, but wasn’t interested. I had to collect Star Wars toys. Thanks for sharing man!
I only had a few of these, when Battle comic became Battle Action Force they gave a figure away now and then, still got all the comics. Great vid and a blast from my childhood past...
I’m American so idk about AF until recently. I like how they made 4 separate teams within AF. Where the Joes were all just one team and all lumped in together. Everyone did water missions, air missions, and so on.
Really enjoyed this series of videos as I grew up in Ireland in the '80's and had a lot of the series 1 and 2 toys. Trying to kickstart my collection as an adult now so this has given me back my mojo, cheers mate!
i didnt stop playing with action figures until about 86 or 87 when i was a freshman or sophomore in high school, in 90 i graduated and immediately started collecting action figures when i stumbled onto a used collecting store in a local flea market. not knowing such shops were actually a thing i was instantly hooked when i saw nice condition examples of my favorite childhood figure that i had beat to hell and instantly wanted to replace them , as well as the opportunity to get the figured i had wanted as a child but didnt received. so for years all through the 90s every weekend i would go to the shop and check out what new inventory had come in, he always kept a large box of loose figures that you could dig through and get pretty cheap if you saw something you wanted. one day i was digging through it and found a pretty cool what i thought was some diving figure in all black that i didnt recognize at all and just assumed it was probably from one of those Remco knockoff lines. a few years later in about the mid 90s i was in his shop and saw the coolest looking red stormtrooper or something looking figure. i asked him what it was and he told me its a Red Shadow from Action Force, that was the first time i had ever seen a Red Shadow or heard of action force. i had to wait about another 5 years till i got my first computer in 2000 before i could finally look Action Force up and start learning about it, at which point i found out that black diver figure i had had all that time was an Action Force Squad Leader, and the mystery green soldier i had also found years earlier in that random loose figure box was an Action Force sapper figure. and then i learned about the awesome Quarrel repaint of one of my favorite Joes, and finally i earned about the totally cool looking Baron Iron blood and other bad guys and knew i needed them to go with my lone Red Shadow. so you dont need to convince me of anything, Action force are awesome.
I literally just got my Gaucho figure in the mail today! Bought him for myself for my Birthday which is 9/9/85. He is very rare and expensive, paid $145 for him. But he’s super clean, no stress marks, paint wear, cracks and or breaks! Came in from Malta! He was definitely on my grail list for ages. I can check that box now. Great review! 😎👍🏽
I have only just discovered Tony and Actiin Force. As an kid from 1972 in Australia I just dont recall this toy in rural Australia and I feel I missed something special. Now I shall put my vintage Star Wars to ine side, and start looking for Action Force. Well done Tony, you alone have created a new fan!
A superb conclusion to Tony's Action Force documentary series, with a comprehensive run down of the incredible Z Force product range and a special cameo appearance by Michael French, from the excellent RetroBlasting RUclips channel.
I was pleased to find the time to watch this 5 part series in all in one evening. Bloody amazing work, fantastic research and presentation, I loved it. Thank-you so much for sharing your love for this line and the people that made it possible.
I've Zed it before and I'll do it again...Bravo! Magnificent! Fantastic! (As an aside, including the Red Jackal update MUST be a nod to him originally being a member of Z Force as a jeep driver before his accident and turning by His Nibs!)
Awesome, great collaboration again and some wonderful insights, glad you've got the collection together at last...really gets the memories flowing back 👌👍
I find it absolutely fascinating that a WELL trained bad-ass special forces soldier is into toy collecting. Tony could kick in a front door and clear out an entire terrorist cell then go home and reinact his exploits with his Action Force SAS toys. It's literally amazing!!🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much for posting this! The command HQ, ATC and tank were pride of place among my toys. My house was burned and all was lost except the tank. My dad rescued it from ruins of our house and it still sits in my study today. It is missing the machine gun and figure. I would love to track down the missing peices. I also loved the rebranded Gl Joe range.
Wow, this toy line is epic..gives GI JOE a run for their money...Palitoy hats off to you...very well done..I love that the legendary SAS was represented in the line..hands down the best military special forces unit in the world..never heard of this..the British were at the top of their game...Excellent video..love it..
Great video Tony thank you for this brilliant series. I’ve wonderful memories of picking up these figures as a kid. They slotted in so well with my other action figures.
When i was a kid here in the U.S.A I always picked out the vipers and more scifi looking G.I. Joes, but now i have much more appreciation for the more realistic troops. I wish we had these in the U.S. Excellent collection.
Tony, between you and the Retro Blasting team, These videos have inspired me to find some more of the Z Squad figures and get that sweet SAS Panther. Great series!
Great video thank you! I think the SWF Big Trapper pics may possibly be from my visit along with Bob and Jim Marshall. Certainly looks like my photo booth and the pics i have. That was an amazing day.
Great and highly informative series of videos, I loved the history and actual toy set-ups throughout. Definitely will keep my eye open for some of these figure over here across the "big pond" in the future. Keep up the good job!
I definitely agree with you about getting better sculpting thanks to the more limited articulation. I also love how some of these figures hold their weapons with two hands so perfectly. You've definitely made an Action Force collector out of me! Thanks for these amazing videos!
Tony, You and Michael did a amazing on this one!😁👍. I really enjoyed this entire series and learned a lot about Action Force and now have a greater respect for these toys!😁.
Brilliant video! I've collected GI Joe for a long, long time and the Palitoy Action Force figures and vehicles are very intriguing and to me are the elite toys of the 80s. Very tough to collect though, the prices have skyrocketed in the past few years. That is one of the main reasons I stay away from that rabbit hole. Maybe one day I'll find an offer I can't refuse.
Thank you very much for the great videos you have made on action force I didn’t realise when I donated the toys that it would spawn such great videos and lead to such great friendships with Gary jody scuba Pete Micheal french and of course yourself and look forward to seeing more and possibly helping out in the future
@@georgeaitken2719 I believe the correct response from me to you is "No sir, thank YOU". I have already been emptying my coffers into ebay purchases on the start of an epic SAS squad, and having a service man son currently stationed away from me, but who can share this new passion, is an unexpected bonus!
AMAZING! One of my favorite videos about toys on RUclips this year! I love how informative you are, Tony! The Palitoy Action Force sculpts are too often underrated! The proportions are very realistic, and well sculpted. The sculpting on the original 4" GI Joe toys are nowhere near as well done. I actually have a nice Quarrel figure in my GI Joe collection, but now I have to start collecting the others! Harder to find in the U.S., but part of the fun is the chase. :) Thanks for the most EXCELLENT video! This has been a fantastic series, Tony! Oh... and red grenades are cool as hell! lol! Unusual, but cool!
Your videos are always so entertaining and educational and I love 'em! As a 3 3/4" G.I. Joe fan from the the beginning, I would stumble across the occasional Action Force figure and comic over the years and I loved hearing about their complete history. You definitely put in a LOT of work into these videos and it shows. Just seeing all of the figures makes me wish I had them all and what an awesome collection you have! Keep up the excellent work, man!!! ^_^
Great video series, Tony. And a great collection. What's particularly nice about it, is that when you watch each episode, each one takes time to go over every figure, vehicle and accessory, and each one ties into the series as a whole, while also working as a standalone video in it's own right. And you've made me want to complete my Action Force line up. I'm starting with the SAS, as they were always my favourite. I did own Z-Force's Skip, though. He often did double duty as the Brigadier from Doctor Who, along with a Bespin Luke as the fifth Doctor, and a General Madine of the Rebel Alliance as The Master. Or Emperor Palatine as the decayed Master, and a Lego-built TARDIS, K9 and Daleks. Yeah, I was a kid sorely in need of a decent Doctor Who action figure series in the early 80s 😅
I am very happy to have seen this video. The Z force is a range of toys that I loved as a child. The little Frenchman that I was very much regretted the disappearance of the Action Force. A range that ended too soon. Congratulations on your report!
Greetings from Ecuador, your videos are great. I have been watching the videos recently but became a big fan immediately. Lived in the UK (in Chester) in the mid nineties love your country
This episode was your best to date and this entire series has been an absolute joy to watch. Never collected Action Force but now it’s all I want. Thanks, dude!
Great review, what a way to go out with a bang, thank you so much for making this great adventure and bringing us along, now we have great videos of the action force history and different sub teams, I am proud to have a action force figure in my collection, I own 2 complete baron ironblood figures, why baron ironblood well in the UK story of action force baron ironblood became cobra commander, so now I can add him to my cobra commander collection. FULL FORCE!!!
THIS. IS. AWESOME.
Excellent job Michael! :)
A great analysis of the atc I didn’t know that the gi joe apc didn’t have a tow hook
Love your channel
Yes i agree
Always a great team, if you listen to Michael and Tony when they team up *Swedish Chief kiss*
My dad bought that tank for me, when I was about 5 in 1983. Brings back some memories seeing this video.

Wow just wow, awesome work. all of the action force videos were a joy to watch :) ..thanks for all the hard work .
I’m gonna need a bigger display shelf! Excellent conclusion to this series. But now I’m hooked! I need my regular Action Force fix.
There will be more Action Force videos!
Great One Tony ! You truly out did Yourself!
I became a action force fan I have made modern customs of sas and z force good work with this action force series well done.
Love it man great description!
Great finale Tony, you own a fantastic collection and it’s been a great journey. Awesome toy line.
These figures are bang on! I've started collecting them. I have them proudly displayed. Most of which are Z Force.

Glad to hear it!

Great video series, Tony. And a great collection.

And you've made me want to complete my Action Force line up. I'm starting with the SAS, as they were always my favourite.
I did own Z-Force's Skip, though. He often did double duty as the Brigadier from Doctor Who, along with a Bespin Luke as the fifth Doctor, and a General Madine of the Rebel Alliance as The Master. Or Emperor Palatine as the decayed Master, and a Lego-built TARDIS, K9 and Daleks. Yeah, I was a kid sorely in need of a decent Doctor Who action figure series in the early 80s 😅
😎Thanks for sharing your collection so we all can enjoy seeing it. 👍
I am very happy to have seen this video. The Z force is a range of toys that I loved as a child. The little Frenchman that I was very much regretted the disappearance of the Action Force. A range that ended too soon. Congratulations on your report!
Fantastic content. Love action military toys.👍
Congrats on the milestone, that’s amazing
Great series, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Great feature -- a great tribute to the guys that worked on the range!!!
This is so great. Absolutely wonderful job. This is an epic finale
Greetings from Ecuador, your videos are great. I have been watching the videos recently but became a big fan immediately. Lived in the UK (in Chester) in the mid nineties love your country

Phenomenal series .
Fantastic series really enjoying it. Keep up the great work.

FULL FORCE!!!
These kind of videos make me wanna dig out my old joes and action force customs and display them again
You should do that!
Mission accomplished. I absolutely love the look of the Z Force. I’m a fan now.
GREAT video, Tony! I need to start adding some Action Force to my collection.
Excellent. Must have been hard work but enjoyable. The z force command centre must have been an amazing toy. Great video, thanks.
