welcome exrafelsdon

Hey there everybody, thanks for the welcome, much appreciated.

I actually came here through chance, my wife came in with a load of action men/stuff that she had bought one day from a car boot, as the kids have quite a bit of modern "HM Forces" stuff (I actually like it, its pretty realistic, and most of it I had issued for real at some point in my own service).
Anyway, she put this stuff down and said, "oh it looks bigger than the stuff they have" and then I clocked the fuzzy headed figures, wow, that's my era of Action Man!! grippy hands, and he has a Sterling SMG! anyway the boys suddenly found out that these are now dads, my wife initially complained until I showed her the "Made in England by Palitoy under licence of Hasbro 1964" and she realised they were more suited now for collectors as opposed to 3 and 8 year old boys, who play hard with the HM Armed forces figures.

So I have two very nice condition fuzzy dolls one with very nice shiny blonde hair but no hands (the seller remarked that they had fallen apart when she got them from the loft, and one with brown hair is complete and looks like new considering its age. They have a jungle uniform, arctic explorer clothes an orange coverall and white helmet, a special ops bag with loads of bits, a radio, a poncho that doubles as a tent, some green woolly pullies and trousers boots etc, all Palitoy.

I will get the photographs sorted, and if anybody is interested, make me an offer, as it would be a crying shame to let the kids tear into them, although they are growing on me, particularly the arctic explorer guy, particularly patriotic with his UJ Parka.

See you on the forum
