Cold Weather Action Man with Tony K


Hi Woodsy

In preparation for a possible white-out, I dug out some vintage Action Men Adventurer snaps.

Climate's cold, but the embers of nostalgia glow bright around here.
You're welcome to stoke up the fire with these old pics.

  1. Woodsy, you can delete this once you've read it, but see my post about TV21 #243 for the link on how to buy it. If you don't already have it, you'll want it for the Project Sword text story.

  2. Oh, and great photos, Tony. I'm away to put on my thermal underwear, because looking at these pics makes me feel cold.

  3. I like the photos, especially the sepia one. You can see that stiff upper lip, frozen but unbowed.

  4. I appreciate your thoughts, Kevin. It's nice to know that the pics convey a sense of coldness. Thank you.
    I think the sepia pic may have been inspired by old archive expedition images I may have seen in the past :)

  5. That fur parka is great,Tony Have you seen any snow yet?It's 60 degrees here, I'm not even wearing a jacket!

  6. Hi Bri, the fur parka is vintage GI Joe from the Deep Freeze set. We haven't had snow here yet, but Woodsy's right... it is freezing and it is cold enough tonight. The central heating's on full blast keeping the chill out. Sounds like you have the better deal over there, with 60 degrees of jacket-free warmth; although I remember you describing a pretty tough winter earlier this year. Our winters aren't so severe over here. It's just we're never prepared. Hope it stays warm for you :)

  8. Very timely also for us here at Helsinki Base, as first snow is expected to fall later today. Excellent pics too, like straight from the Action Man Winter Collection Catalogue!
