Action Man Back

It’s time for “real men” to start playing with dollys again!!!!

Action Man is back

Action Man returns to the shelves today after an absence of three years.

The toy action figures, which were redesigned in the early 1990s to reflect more modern heroes and extreme sports figures, still come with a range of weapons equipped with telescopic sights.

The new range, which starts at £5, includes a global mission Action Man, as well as a scuba patrol, a desert motor-cross bike rider, and even one with flip-out wings.

The new Action Man figures will continue the modern-day hero range, rather than returning to the military versions which saw them dressed as commanders complete with gripping rubber hands and moveable eagle eyes in the 1970s.

Originally sold in America by Hasbro, the Action Man range, made in Britain by Palitoy under licence, won Toy of the Year when it first appeared in the UK in 1966.

The range was discontinued in 1984 and new designs appeared in 1993, but production ceased in 2006.

Earlier this year, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) backed a new ranges of authentic military-inspired dolls, armed with weapons and military vehicles,

The 10-inch high HM Armed Forces action figures ''showcase our people and equipment'' and proved ''the high level support for our forces among the British public'', the MoD said.

…………..YEH RIGHT………Perhaps this is the reason why politicians today are so lame….They spent their formative years playing with dolls!!!!!
