Action Man Soldier Deluxe

Action Man is a line of action figures that originated in the United Kingdom in 1966, launched by Palitoy Ltd as a licensed copy of Hasbro's American 'movable fighting man', G.I. Joe. The initial figures were based on U.S. military outfits from World War II and the Korean War. Over time, the brand evolved to reflect British military themes and introduced various enhancements, such as flocked hair and gripping hands, to improve realism and playability. In 1993, Hasbro reintroduced Action Man, moving away from the militaristic theme to an 'extreme sports' focus, and introduced new characters like Dr. X. The brand has been produced in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States, and is currently owned by Hasbro, Inc., headquartered in the United States. The Soldier Deluxe figure is part of the current range, featuring a contemporary MTP camouflage uniform and accessories like a backpack and SA80 Rifle with a clip-on scope.
