The H.M. Armed Forces Action Figures are a highly detailed and articulated range of action figures and accessories, produced in conjunction with and endorsed by the Ministry of Defence, offering an insight into the different roles of each armed service.
Many older readers will have fond memories of the original Action Man figure which was one of the best selling boy’s action figures of all time. Action Man, as he was, met his demise sometime ago when makers Hasbro focused more on general super hero themes, and the traditional soldier version was gradually phased out; although the company did produce a special 40th Anniversary Action Man in 2006.
Now you can now buy an updated and more realistic version of this popular action figure. Although the products have no connection with the original Action Man brand, the parallels are unmistakeable.
The HM Armed Forces figures and vehicles include:
- Army infantryman and battle tank
- Royal Navy diver, Marine Commando and quad bike
- RAF pilot, Falcons parachutist, as well as a realistic lifelike model of a VTOL fast attack jet fighter
- Role-play outfits and accessories that young boys will enjoy, including uniforms, walkie-talkies and night-vision goggles.
