ACTION MAN ON OLD VENDING TOY SETS


I do love spotting recognisable toys in knockoff sets. Action Man stuff regularly turned up on carded vending toy packs.

The one above features what appear to be Action Man sized binoculars with miniature tanks and knockoff Airfix infantry. Its by Petrel and called Battle Gears Set.

The set to the left below managed to include cheap versions of Action Man guns: the flare pistol and the lugar!


Finally this old cheapo Frogman Set has better card art than toys. That's because its lifted from the Action Man diver box art from the Sixties!


Have you spotted any more Action Man stuff in other sets readers?
