I have the hi way patrol chap (needs a cap) and one in a green corded suit with tennis bats on his feet. I have a couple that need repair, but no kit so they are just stored away.

Tell your son I like them - wish I'd had them when I was 10! Nice to see there is another potential VAM generation!!!
My two aren't that interested in my VAM although they realise I love them. Maybe I should let them play with some of them? Might try?
George [12] made me this for my birthday, it's to scale and has articulated joints like the real thing.

Actually, aren't the little big man figures rarer than VAM?

Nice little collection there!

I have 3 (Jungle, Combat & Arctic)+ an empty Frogman/Diver box. They all come with the radio....even the frogman!
Least his rifles have the end barrels, all mine have the end snapped off.
I like the blue uniform with the tie, never seen that one, what is it? Oh, hang on I guess it's what Daz has High-Way Patrol?

So, that's what the orange 'base camp light' (not) is for!! Seems a bit big for LBM, same size as AM one but orange, belongs to this LBM set and NOT VAM.
