brief encounters
To balance things out as Kid suggested, what with all those Action Men today, here's a Barbie wearing not much more than a a pair of SpaceX Hawks as pictured by reader Paul Kaiju.
and perhaps the strangest Ebay listing I've seen all year. This is the opening photo for the sale of a toy robot in Glasgow! Now that's what I call a tight situation!
two decades of action man at moonbase part 1
Before I was a blogger I was a toy collector and for some years in the mid- 2000's a full time toy dealer on Ebay.
During those years Moonbase was often home to vintage Action Man and his chums and occasionally his modern reincarnations as well including the impressive Strike Force range of vehicles all found at car boots and fleamarkets.
Here's a rogues gallery of some of the fighting men and accessories that have passed through my hands. The cheaper figures I was never really able to identify [where it says no ID] but they all sold anyway.
