Dependent on his age, you might want to check out http://www.dragon-models.com/ and these figures can be obtained from http://www.pippenstoys.co.uk/
Care to tell us then?
Someone better tell hasbro they are not making action men anymore as they dont seem to know!

Saying that, they have a site, but no toys.
Damn them all to hell, the crazy sonsofbitches finally did it!!

Action man adverts were hilarious a few years ago:
NEW super ultra MEGA CHARGED ACTION MAN! With XTREME ROLLOR BLADES for catching the EVIL DR.X! Jump the cliff! Grind the Pipe Edge and press the button to reveal SECRET MISSILES!
Jesus christ, just say secret missiles and every 8 year old has to change his pants due to excitement.

There is a 40th anniversary run of Action Man available from the link I posted earlier.
Ah this brings back memories. I had so much Action Man stuff when I was a kid, including the scorpion tank, a jeep, a helicopter, the scuba diver, deep sea diver, parachute, action men with beard, dark haired action man, blonde action man, etc, etc. I loved thethings at the time. Wish I'd kept them.

I Lol'd
The adverts were the best! Secret Missles, light up action, or sound action, and I was sold! And Raid, the alsation!
Can you still get Strike Force? I had the jeep + trailer, and a 8ton truck, used to go and invade Dr X's base in the other room, and get ambushed en route, they'd all spill out of the truck, kick ass + chew bubble gum, then continue with the raid
Nostalgic thread of the year? Everyone on here has had AM at some time in their lives

As well as Special Operations and traditional AM I also had Bullet Man who, I think, had some kind of hook in his back allowing him to go from one corner of a bedroom fortress to another using levers and pulleys and strings of my mum's wool.
