Hi Bill.....Thanks for your comment mate......Action Man expression never changed much in the eight years I worked with him.....only the occasional face lifts....although he did get one head with an open mouth.....the talking figure however did receive a flexible face....his mouth and jaw line moved when he talked...very like "Captain Scarlet puppets" in the TV Series....but that figure of AM came near the end of the run for the Toy range ......regards Richard Dixon TPD STUDIOS UK .
Hi Mish....Thanks for your comment , appreciated....the "Bridge" was created with some UPVC Double Gazing offcuts and metal support strips....all suitably painted in a steel colour....and weathered.....the background - real plants were used from the local garden centre....they used to love me in those days....I bought loads of stuff - plants and rocks etc...they had many that fitted in very well when I created Action Man Landscapes...Regards Richard Dixon TPD STUDIOS / Lancashire , England .
This Action Man face strongly resembles actor Mitchell Ryan, who played Burke Devlin in Dark Shadows: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/43/84/c0/4384c05d2900a2576bb085d455d02fce.png
Its a great time in the UK to collect these 90's Action Man toys as car boots are full of them. I must have seen ten this morning including the evil Dr. X!
Thanks Tony....appreciate your comments on my work.....it was an exciting time working with the Action Man Toy Range.....more images from my Archives coming along soon....Regards Richard Dixon .
Great stuff Richard - although A.M doesn't look too pleased! Bill
