Many thanks folks

I have been collecting casually for the last 5 years or so since retrieving the action men I had as a kid from my parents loft when they moved house and where they are been for the last 35+ years. After looking at them thought it would be fun to try and replace the bits that were lost or missing. A fatal mistake. I was then hooked and wanted to try and get the uniforms / figures I wanted as a kid but never had. A friend picked up a few figures at a car boot and and I also acquired some from a local market stall (EE talking commander for £20 with SAS cap) this moved on to buying Alan Hall's books to help with collecting and I haven't looked back! My initial 6 figures ( 2nd issue fuzzy head soldier, fuzzy head soldier with cloth beret, blue jumper adventurer, field commander and two mailaway fuzzy heads) have grown to approx 50 figures. I have also found a shop that also sells AM stuff very cheaply and am completely hooked!
