    Action Jackson Artwork...

    I know a lot of the focus here on the museum is on the WGSH line...and where the art may have come from...but does anyone have an idea as to who was the artist on the Action Jackson line?? The boxes for the outfits has some really nice art as do the side panels of the original Boxed AJ figures. Also, is the artist on the box art the same as the artist for the animated commercial?

    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".

    I always thought that those thumbnail pics of the back of the clothing boxes would have made great trading cards. My fave is the secret agent pic.

        There is some very nice art on the vehicle boxes as well, the AJ Copter box art work is one of my favorites.



        I am sure there are some vet members here who can shed some light on this....

          I owned the original artwork to the AJ coloring book for about 10 seconds.

          Unfortunately, it was damaged during transit and the Post Office took it when I made my claim for the insurance.

          It's now sitting in the warehouse next to the Ark.

              I've never heard mention of who did it. They are certainly very nice illustrations. I wish they had printed the thumbnail art full size somewhere.

                I love the AJ Mustang box art, but yes all the art on outfit specific boxes is terrific
