series 2 vehicles were mostly window boxes with the introduction of multi jointed figures such as stalker ie snake eyes pictured with the SAS panther on the left in the picture below



Z Force command centre with Jammer and Gaucho



palitoy then re-released the series 2 vehicles as picture boxes which are now quite rare the attack cannon was expensive!

i read Bulman66 request to see some of the european packaging in Sundances collection thread, it got me thinking as to what differences there are worldwide so i thought i would begin with a bit of action force history. Palitoy at a standstill with action man sales looked at the success of the vintage star wars 3 3/4 line and released Action Force

series 1 1982




series 2 1983 to 84

q force

space force


Z Force

Red Shadows

it's good to see a new collector start out, like you an injury and a need for a hobby led me to toy collecting, my good lady brought me 5 action force figures just over 2 years ago and that's where I started, as you go if you need my help at all please let me know.

Thank you for the positive comments, Action Force is the bread and butter for many european collectors which can make it hard to get hold of, like I say in a few months I should be able to rebuild the collection room and get everything in the one place together for the first time.

And yes I do have a few hoarding issue's  :wink:
