    I had this and had it for number of years after I growed up, as well as action man cannon and boat as the first action man doll. I gave them away late 90's early 2000's. I could kick myself now, as they are collectables. Wish still had them. My action man doll had I still had him would be the glass cabinet now. Ever since I been wanting to get my hands on a doll. Some months back I bought the talking commander of 1982 which is unboxed and in the cabinet. Hope to get another doll

    Excellent video. I've recently bought the hull of an old Scorpion. I've got new axles and the wheels/starlocks attached. It rolls brilliantly. Next issue is tracks. Any idea about where I could pick up a repro set? Or is it a case of just waiting for a set on ebay?

    Well done, youve inspired me to do up my old scorpion tank, quick question, im missing the aerials, where can you get new ones?

      Great that you’re inspired to repair your tank. We got the aerials from Vaman parts on eBay.

    Wonder if you can get material flags instead of sticker flags. There collectables now not toys to play with. Shame they don't make action man figures now. Just coz óf Star Wars toys. And you could add to the collection. Bring them back to our toy stores. That talkie eagle eye action man is the one I bought earlier on this year except he doesn't have the binoculars. Though not to keen on the trousers. I like to get the 1970s doll I had as a kid

      Material flags would be so much better. They would be possible to make using photoshop and printing onto the material stickers.

    Had that toy until gave it away with the rest of action man boat cannon and my first action man in the early 2000s. I could kick myself wish still had them. Had I known they'd be collectables I wouldn't have
