Unfortunately, I'm looking for scare '80s-'90s South American Estrela stuff.
I am slowly gaining an interest in Foreign (to us) Joe stuff. Is Estrela the company that made the Falcon stuff? I read something about Falcon on the Museum several months back and had no idea what it was and then I noticed some stuff that Cotswold is selling that has this description:
This set is an homage to the Action Man Space Rangers and the Estrela sci-fi themed Falcon sets from the 1980s, with a little Super Joe thrown in. Designed with the aid of Sean Huxter and AA Designs, expect more of these style outfits in the coming months.
Yes, Palitoy Action man did some nice sci-fi themed Space Pirates. Estrela in South America did Falcon adventure and space sets, slightly more colorful and campy, around the same time (late '70s-early '80s).
The Loucoporbonecos site has a good overview of the Falcon releases by Estrela.
WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

Thanks for the info!
I recognize the name you mentioned because Cotswold is partnering with that guy to sell a line of what I guess is repro or re-imagined stuff from the FALCON line.
From Cotswold's site:
Fortunately, there is a die-hard FALCON collector base in Brazil, with one such collector taking the initiative and starting his own custom 1/6 scale clothing business LoucoPorBonecos. Having inspected them firsthand, we can attest to their attention to detail. That is why we are proud to begin carrying their line this year, with plans to help expand their line in the coming months!
I made a purchase from Cotswold's recently and they sent a catalog along. There was some really neat-o space stuff in it and when I checked their site, I saw the name Sean Huxter tied to some stuff. I followed his site for years and now you just dropped another name associated with that line. All of it has my interest piqued, at this point.
I am looking for some adventure team figures to put my sets together. I don't need clothes just naked is fine as I have all the rest. I have a marketplace post with lots of trade stuff if interested. Thanks. TC
Got a Blonde Man of Action Talker for sale trade really nice, talks a little fast. He's on ebay, but I am looking for a talking Astronaut painted head, a firing jeep cannon, sure I can think of more.
