Soldiers?

Can anyone help me searching for a doll figure i had for christmas as a youngster in the 70s? It was dressed in army clothes and spoke too, although i may have imagined the last part.

Hi and welcome to DYR !

Action figures were very common in the seventies, and of course the later versions of the famous Action Man were given a voice with a pull cord being used to produce several phrases. Is this one too obvious ?? *lol*

There are many mentions of these toys on the forum and you can get further information by using the Search facility to find them.

Thank you Tony.

Using Google, i see there are whole forums just devoted to individual toys like Action Man - the nostalgic dream lives on. I may try and buy one but it seems there are plenty who collect already, it may be too expensive.

Roger, there was a range of 40th anniversary Action Man last year...might be a cheaper option for you?

Now you can get official army ones - they only come with obsolete kit!

I did 17 years in an army that had tanks, tanks of the people we served and tanks of the people we helped and tanks to ride in but now ?

Planes that can only on certain days of the week due to fuel rationing
A Navy that has more ships in breakers yards than on the seas
An Army that welcomes handbaggers and is 'kind and gentle' to the recruit.
