Action figure help

[Justneil]

I had a few action figure as a littlun, but one set of figures stick in my mind, they were about 4-5" high, rubber pants, fully pose able, I don't think they were solely military, I remember medical staff, explorers. Plenty of accessories, fixed helmets I seem to remember.

One character had a mummies tomb with treasure in it, another had an exploding rock.

Any ideas folks?

Re: Action figure help

Too early to be M.A.S.K figures,..
Action force? or Action Jacks?

I think I may have had one of these! The mummy's tomb one.
Did it have a sarcophicus (sp?) that opened with treasure in it?
Can't for the life of me remember the name though! (wasn't Action Force, I still have some of those)

I can find a G.I. Joe Mummys tomb, and Action Force were the mini Gi Joes

Iwas thinking little big man, but they were early seveties tho'. always amused me that they had no hands and feet, just stumps that their boots and gloves went on!

Little Big Man was appaling, it was made in Spain under Palitoy of England. They were just very fragile and a small version of action man. Yes, they had stumps where their boots went in so you could multi change. Im sure if you had one Mint on card you could fill your boots on ebay now with some serious wonga, dreadful toy, apart maybe the police man.

Re: Action figure help

Sorry to dredge up an old thread but on the subject of Little Big Man I found a site with details/pics of them at last! I remember having a few of these old fellas!

It seems it was just a lack of feet:

His boots are directly attached to the legs (no feet) with pegs.

Re: Action figure help

Top find.



I has the snow outfit, I remember playing in the snow with said figure and needing the toilet, so I left him outside and went in to do my 'business' indoors only to not be able to find him when I came back outside! Gutted.

The snow seemed to last forever those days...

Re: Action figure help

Justneil, in response to your original post, I think I may have found what you were looking for while looking for the scuba diver in the other thread! Could they have been Airfix Eagles!

Definitely Rubber trousers and exploding rock there.

I may have had the Egyption Tomb one (just got to find a picture of it)
