Used to have Zoids as well, at least i did until most of them got converted for use in Warhammer 40K games later on in life

Super Naturals

Wow I'd forgotten all about them! Just looked on Google and I definitely had Snakebite and the ghost one

Super Naturals

I think they had a very short run, but i had all of them includng the tomb of doom, which ive just bought again

My fave was Thunderbolt, he was a viking with a cool hammer

Brilliant thread. Great memories.

Never seen the Police Academy figures before.

Me and me brother used to love,

Transformers, MASK, He Man, Thundercats and Action Force.

Loved Centurions but never had the toys. Had a large amount of Lego that was sold for a silly price to one of me Mum's mates.

To think those few hundred pounds that we got from selling all these toys off (including my Star Wars toys) at Carboot sales
about 20-25 years ago. Wonder what we could have got for them all now :roll:

Astro Wars

I've still got my boxed, working original of that in a cupboard upstairs :mrgreen:

I was heavily into Lego (it pretty much made me become an architect ), thundercats, MASK, transformers

 

[Imperial nut]

cool thread i love the zoids totally forgot i had one of them with the little golden guys in them.

i remember almost everything else but i was a star wars, action force/gi-joe kid for figures and the rest was

airfix, hundreds of airfix models that i still have in boxes some where, and toy soldiers like those britians ones and the matchbox series ones.

I used to hour after hour of fun playing with them little toy soldiers Like some of you guys i quickly moved to Action Force as well and got the Command Centre for Christmas 8)

 

[Rich.b]

Just out of curiosity, how much are the command ctr's going for these days?
I would love one of them again

There's quite a boom going on in the Action Force world at the moment so that means all the prices have gone up. It might be as a result of the last convention exclusive being the Red Shadows.

Hey ODB, do you know where i can get hold of Action Force MOCs?? Been looking for ages and only ever seen 1!
I'm talking about this kind-

Not this kind-

 

[Imperial nut]

Pete i sold a bucket of those cardbacks and figures a while back and ships and paperwork and everyhting , no MOC though,, there are US forums with GI-JOE and some come up on ebay from time to time.

 

[PGowdy]

Yeah that's what makes it so tricky. Action Force wasn't that widely produced and most americans don't know what you're talking about when you ask but they were very popular in the UK. Possibly they were only popular in the UK and that's why they're so hard to find. I can safely say that they are the toy line i have seen least of since i started collecting.(MOC wise)

There's a whole section on ebay and they crop up on there fairly regularly, the Palitoy stuff is a bit more common than the Hasbro stuff though. There's an entire forum dedicated to the UK Action Force called Blood for the Baron, head over there are a few sellers on there too.

As for other sites, Mr Tree has Action Force for sale on his website All The Cool Stuff, also the Modellers Loft has/had a load of the old Palitoy MOC in their shop, so it might be worth giving them a ring.

 

[PGowdy]

All the "Action Force" MOCs (of the kind i want) have the GI:JOE logo as opposed to the Action Force... i'll check that forum tho.
