Wil, thanks for that fab photo of the SOK....its been 30 years, but seems like 30 minutes since I last played with all those accessories :cry::cry:

For some reason I thought i'd got my S.O.K from the star cards but must be mistaken as there's no mention of it here.

I had that helicopter. You had to keep pushing a button in on the side to keep the rotors spinning.

I guess, for longevity, Action Man has to be my favourite toy and I'm still a little sad I didn't keep just one to (like Mr.Benn) help me remember. I do have a Special Operations Kit on my desk at work, though, just in case of emergencies.

You never know when you're going to need it Wil.

Superb pic.

I had this and the hang-glider/kite, my mother decided to give all my action man stuff away without asking me.

Re: My favorite toy as a kid....

I don't hate you, I hate myself for losing interest in my toys. I'd give my right nut to get even half of them back.

I was on the cusp of liking Action Force, I remember a good SAS figure, complete with H&K rifle.

Re: My favorite toy as a kid....

You'll hate me Neil, I still have the Centurion and Muffet figures. Also the Maximillian one, V.I.N. CENT (both come with clear stands so they do stand up) and the two blokes in white from the Black Hole. Not forgetting a couple of Micronauts, including Time Traveller. They're in a box somewhere with a few Action Force ones too.

I'm on a roll again today folks, sorry.

Re: My favorite toy as a kid....

This was rubbish, it wouldn't even stand up. Film was good though.

Loved Star Bird.

Re: My favorite toy as a kid....

Apart from obviously being a footballer he had bendy legs with a rubbery skin over them and you could pull one of his feet back and it would spring forward thus kicking the ball. An Action Man for football fans I guess.

What did he (Steve Goalgetter) do?

Re: My favorite toy as a kid....

The Mego site is great, every time I go there I see things I didn't notice last time! Like the Fighting Furies pirate dudes from the 70s, I had those and my brother had Steve Goalgetter!!



I'd forgotten all about him! He had the England kit for him too.
