Wow.. Scarlett says “Affordably priced at $39.99” That’s more expensive than a blu ray 🙂

Lol. True. It’s pretty shocking just how expensive video cassettes were back then.

For some reason they called this ACTION FORCE many places here in Europe.

Hi. Yes, you’re right, the line became known as Action Force in Europe.

I may be giving away my age here, but although my true early childhood was spent with the G.I. Joe Adventure Team… I did thoroughly enjoy the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series and its merchandise.

Same here. My early childhood was spent with the UK Action Man line (12-inch figures). I didn’t have any of the 1980s UK Action Force line (3.75-inch figures) but some of my friends did. Looking back it was a really cool line with all the vehicles and accessories available.
