Hard to get: Dolphin and Moondancer are the 2 hardest guys to get.  Quarrel, Stalker (aka Snake Eyes) and Blades are not. The other guys fall in between.

Quality Just like the American ones in my view.

Cost Most of them are not cheap. They average between 20-50 US.

I only need Dolphin to finish off the set.  I have been looking for over a year to find one.

I only have one figure that came in an "Action Force" box and that is my Zartan figure I picked up in England when I was 16 for 6 pounds. It is the excat same as every other North American Zartan I have ever seen. Only difference was the box which I still have. It just says "Action Force" on it, not "G.I.Joe". Besides that, I haven't looked at it for a while. It's in my attic. Maybe when I buy my next house I'll get that out and display it with the rest of my collection.

I've got a few as well but Pete pretty much summed up the whole shebang. Personal faves have got to be Red Laser and Red Jackal.

As for the first series (not including the later Tiger Force etc) I have 2x Jackal, Blades, Quarrel, Red Laser and thats about it. I only have 2 Red Jackals so that I can trade one for one of the figures I'm missing. It's been hard finding them at a price I'm willing to pay. I've found that every figure becomes available at a reasonable price if you wait it out, but these remaining Euro figs elude me. I'm not willing to pay over $50 CDN for any of them. If you're willing to pay a little more, they are all readily available - well, not Moondancer or Dolphin and the first version of Jammer.

Red Laser would be tops on my list from that line as well.

I would pay in the neighbourhood of 50...but some guys want that for incomplete and c-6 guys...lol...ebay will turn them up eventually....and the ones I have seen sell complete and near mint for about 35 U.S. each...but I have not seen Dolphin or Red Laser yet!!

How about the other Action Force guys like Black Major and so on...any interest there??

There are two Red Laser auctions up now but they are pricey, and that's without the convertion to CAN bucks.

As for any other product available in the UK, only GI JOE style figures I am interested in.  I can't stand the SAS or Red Shadow style figures.  But since I got all 6 Euro Tiger Force, Mutt, Spirit and the other action force Joe repaints (minus any variants) a while ago, only Dolphin and the Euro Crimson Guard Immortal is left on my short want list.
