The post you need is here charmic 50th Anniversary Show Post and the event is set to be far more than just a "2 day sales event" as Daz has described it!

As regards your critique of the poster perhaps once you know the idea behind the layout you can understand it better. It was specifically designed to show that there is no prejudice against any incarnation of Action Man and the figures are positioned in chronological order as one naturally reads top left to bottom right so Grandad Painted head is at the top with the Fuzzhead Brothers shoulder to shoulder and finally Modern Action Man Front and Centre at the bottom.

If you have any more questions feel free to message me here or on Facebook to get the information you require from the horses mouth.

Not a fan of MAM but they form part of the history of action man. Not palitoy I know but not to be ignored.

I understand your figuring winch but I woulda had the painted head figure in the foreground as he was first then the fuzzies where there are the the muscle brain at the back

just a reversal of those two figures as I think the first should be at the front,no big deal mate just my opinion and good luck with the show id love to go but I'm a bit far away (Belfast) id need a bank loan just to travel hahahaaa

Ceji Arbois got the licence for Action Joe in 1975 and then changed the name to Group Action Joe in 1976 and then held the licence until 1981.

From 82 Miro-Meccano had a licence to release action man branded outfits & figures in France.

Must admit i am a big fan of GAJ and international variations of action man i have a few examples of GAJ outfits in my collection plus a carded action man Gendarmerie outfit.

Would like to pick up a few more of the french outfits\figures eventually.

My holy grail though for foreign outfits are the mexican Hombre De Accion 1970 mexico world cup oufits would sell an organ just to have one of these beauties.
