I've got a tough assignment for you

[Shanester]

We never had a talking Action Man over here.
Was there one in the UK?

Heck yes. In fact, I think Palitoy developed the talking mech. Actually, Palitoy developed several things that Hasbro incorporated into the US GI Joe lines.

There is a French talker that was marketed in Canada.

[Gorn Captain]

he was designed on lunch break. That is the hamburger hand.

And a good cigar afterwards...

I still have my very abused bearded talking Joe. He has no legs and his string broke shortly after I got him one Christmas some thirty odd years ago.

[Neutron X]

I had one as a kid and I did something really stupid.

When I first got one for Christmas after a short time (the same day) I took a pair of scissors and cut the talking string.

At the time I thought a talking figure was more of a baby toy instead of an action figure

I was very confused and it still bugs me to this day

If you still have him it's any easy fix maybe 15 minutes to a hour depending on your skill level. You can buy replacement string at Cottswald. Or do a trade with me sometime I have plenty. Good Luck!

Yeah, it's interesting to find how much Palitoy really did like Fuzz heads and Eagle eyes. No wonder they carried the ball so much longer and further than Hasbro.

I loved my Adventure Team Commander; here's a list of his phrases:



-I've got a tough assignment for you!

-This is going to be rough. Can you handle it?

-We must get there before dark. Follow me!

-The Adventure Team has the situation controlled.

-Set up Team Headquarters here.

-Contact Adventure Team Headquarters right away!

-The Adventure Team is needed in Africa!

-Mission accomplished. Good work, men!

My talking Joe said: "GI Joe, U.S. Army, great forty-four watermelon". At least that's what it sounded like to me. That was the only phrase it ever said.
