Saw this figure in a lot. Can't figure out what he's from. 1535642_10151950030929667_1487403753_n.jpgComment

Yep. He's the lead.
I really liked that show when it was on. I believe it played at 1:30am on Saturday nights for a while in 1995 or so. Maybe the local station was trying to hit the after bar drunk 20-somethings. That would have been me.Comment

In '94 the should've played it for the after school (college) stoner set. That would have been me.Comment

Okay ...
I have this weird memory from about 1975 to 77.
I had an action figure that I cut a hole in his arm, stuck some play doh into the hole and squeezed in the Six Million Dollar Man's arm bionic module that I got off some kid.
This was my feeble attempt at making a bionic man as I never did get a real one.
Given that I was 6 or 7ish I will assume the action figure was blow molded otherwise how could I have cut a hole? And I am guessing 12" but could have been smaller.
So, what dude was for sale in Canada around that time that was basically a GI Joe knock off / cheap imitation?
I have no recollection on what his face looked like.

They had rubber arms with wire armature so you could've done surgery on him. In Canada, the 1st issue Fighting Yanks were issued as "Johnny Canuck". I would love to find a boxed example of this to add to my collection!
I kept thinking Action Jackson but I know that's wrong. But now that you mention Fighting Yank Brian ... I am thinking maybe Mr. Action?
I also remeber trying to put a scuba suit on him from another one and it was too tight and wouldn't go all the way on and had to be cut off by my Mom.
However on these 2 figures the arms are not rubber like Fighting Yank, they are a hard plastic much like a Mego figures body. Hope this helps!Last edited by convoy357; Jan 12, '14, 8:21 AM.Comment

The knife looks like a vintage GI Joe bayonette. It would be xtra special if it has "Japan" stamped on the blade.Comment
