There's a new Palitoy exhibition on in Coalville from 12th October - 10th November. Bob Brechin has had a big hand in it.

Free admission too!

I did manage to get to the exhibition on the very last day. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, but my son kindly had a stab at taking photos of the Action Man displays on his phone.

It was a custom figure made specially by a VAME member back in the days of the old forum site. The Snibston museum at Coalville (now demolished to make way for a housing estate) was mainly a mining museum. Not surprising for a town called "Coalville" of course... What was surprising was that one of the world's greatest toy companies chose to set up shop there.
