group shot of the figures sold in 1987 in the UK. these were still sold as 'Action Force', but were now sold in Hasbro style packaging. the AF Series 3 were sold in Pallitoy style packaging. The only 2 I'm missing are Heavy Metal and Frostbite. Cobras sold that year were Destro, Cobra trooper, CG, Storm Shadow, Tele-Viper, Snow Serpent, Eel, Ripper and Buzzer, Zartan and his swamp skier, Copperhead and Moccassin, Stinger and driver and Moray/Lampreys.

interestingly, Ace and the Skystriker, Stinger/driver, Moccassin/Copperhead, Destro, Zartan/skier, Cobra trooper, Storm Shadow, the FANG and the Whirlwind were sold again, despite already being part of Series 3. The Whirlwind was sold in 3 versions - Z-Force, series 3 AF and a mailaway Hasbro version. the series 3 version was basically over-stock with a modified box. the Hasbro and Z versions, like the Pallitoy and Hasbro packed S3 vehicles, had different stickers as well. the WHALE was later re-released in 1988. both UK versions are a different shade of green, both to the US version and each other.
