Life begins at 40. Well it does in the case of Action Man because he’s back to his best and reporting for duty in the shape of this 40th anniversary re-issue. Forget the quasi-superhuman meathead currently masquerading as Action Man. This authentic military man is modelled on the definitive, British-as-beans-on-toast posable figure that caught the imagination of millions in the sixties and seventies.
We guarantee the memories will come flooding back the second you clap eyes on this square-jawed jack-of-all-trades. From those gripping hands that once clung to ravine-traversing ropes (okay, your mum’s washing line) to that jauntily angled scar and bristly hair, this golden-era Action Man is a proper geezer - well hard and up for a scrap, even in the politically correct noughties.
