They remind me of the MEGO Action Jackson line.

Me too, I'd never even heard of them but I got 2 in a VAM job lot a few years back and decided to get a few other little bits to go with them. I don't really collect them but I wouldn't mind the diver for the box. Wonder what the wet suit is like?

More importantly they look like fun toys.

I remember 'Little big man' being around but I think we were all nearing the end of our action figure playing days so along with 'Fighting Furies' it was a line I never had anything from. It was well known and popular enough to end up as the nick name of a short kid at school!

Nice collection John.

I don't remember these either but do remember Medelman from hols to Spain - are they the same figures?

I've got a Madelman book so it might have some useful refs if they are the same line but different packaging

Nice figures either way
