    Action Apeman from Australia


    The
    AHI Action Apemen
    are one of my favourite knock off lines of all time because they're just so flagrant. This carded example is easily one of the rarest because it's the Australian version and it features a more articulated body and well, look at that card art, shiny!

          That's great! The toy industry use to be a lot more fun than it is now.

                  Cool! Who knew back then knockoffs would be worth so much?

                  If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                          That card art reminds me of James Bond vs Dr. No.
