    Action Man greets his public




    Hopping over to the UK today for this weekend's mall appearance with shots from a 1979 appearance of Action Man in Blackpool. To those not in the know AM is the UK version of G.I. Joe, although Action Man had more of a paramilitary flavour and was wildly popular, in 1979 he was outselling Star Wars.


    Here Action Man presents a "sophisticated video cassette recorder" to a prize winner, fancy! The winner designed the best store window display for Action Man, more on that later.

      Too bad they didn't have that creepy Action Man costume from Xtro.

          With that beret and goofy grin, he looks more like Action Boy, sideckick to Captain Action!!!
