Barbie! The murderer.

Action Man figures from forty years ago can fetch reasonable sums of money these days.
You still have the box, and dependent on condition, there are some that can be worth nearly a £1000.

The last one, "fully equipped", made is worth less than what you'll have paid for it however.

 

[classic33]

You love it don't you Mr C

See his 39 hour day

They had "eagle eyes" in the early 70's.

Yep, I made a living (well it paid the mortgage) repairing and selling vintage figures. The collection of Knights I posted earlier all sold for over £100 each on eBay as an example.
Nice to see all the Action Man fans coming out of the woodwork.
The last one "fully equipped " was the 30th anniversary edition and fell well short of what collectors wanted. The "toy" was not as articulated as the dads remembered.

Grenade throwing arm!

Not on a vintage figure that was 1995 MaM.

Reversed the arm to allow it to bowl underarm. During the summer of 76.
