    Action Man Captain Zargon...

    What's the deal with this figure? Is it just a UK thing or can they be found in other countries? Reason why I ask is that the sword/weapon he has is exactly the same as the sword/weapon that the French Captain Harlock/Albator figure has...and I need one to replace the one from my figure that was broken. Thanks for any help on this guy:

      Zargon was a part of the Action Man Space Ranger series. Harlock was Group Action Joe, the French Joe. One likely borrowed the sword from the other. I don't know if any other Joes from other countries had a sword from the same mold, but it's possible. I wouldn't be surprised if some other international Joe had the same sword, but it wouldn't be an easy piece to find. Best bet is UK eBay to look for a Zargon sword.

          I found a couple of Action Man Parts lots with the sword in it...but they didn't ship outside of the UK....Guess I'll just have to keep checking. Thanks for the info.

              Definitely a Harlock clone.
              I have this one boxed...

              Not an easy part to replace. I'll keep an eye out over here....

                  That Captain Zargon is a really cool figure. Is he rare/hard to find?

                      I used to trip over them, honestly I even found a boxed one here at the local flea market . Since Roberto mentioned this to me, I haven't seen Zargon one.

                          I was just curious because I wouldn't mind owning one. I was just worried about them being rare and expensive, but it looks like I should have been looking for one sooner. I'm always late for the party!

                              I think the one that was at that toy site you sent me the link for is even gone. I do a Zargon check at least once a week...and a Harlock/Albator check at least once a week...and I wish that they would already release the 42 episode season in English or at least with English Subtitles already. I just won Volume one of the Laserdisc Box sets...basically the first 21 episodes. Maybe I can get my Sister-In-Law to translate each and every minute of every episode

                              I have to say...that Harlock French figure is ridiculously hard to find...and forget about boxed. I think the last boxed one I saw on ebay went for about $800.
