The Donald Duck magz and toy inlays are just from local shops. The are a bit more expencive with in lays.

Shal i pick up some for you if run into more ? They are at about 1 or 2-3 dollars a pice . So a real bargen :-)

I have left Playmobil myself but had to get me some MISB space playmo . When i came acros some :-)

Got into a discussion with my son about Mr. T when I was fixing his breakfast and said "I pity the fool who don't eat my cereal!" Had to tell him who Mr. T was and stumbled across the awesome Mr. T Cartoon commercial. First name T, middle name period, last name T. Too funny.

Love his fight with the croc . And his hisjewelry .That's what i call bling , the new school rappers don't know a thing about bling. Mr. T is the king of bling

Nice to se another poster her in this thread other than The Fantastic Four

Hah - yeah, he kicks that crocs butt. I pity the croc that messes with Mr.T!

I'll have to keep an eye out for some more stuff to add.

We like that Dallas

Soren, wow, I just had a big catch-up of all the pics you posted recently after me not being online for a while...

you are now crowned of the Playmo and LEGO ads! When we chatted in PM a few weeks ago about blogs I think you could make a blog just about LEGO alone! But that would be a shame to miss out on all the other cool Danish ads - for instance I never knew Britains was so popular in Denmark, or that Playmobil had its own knockoff version called Playwell lol. Very very cool Action Man poster!! and good also to see a Tente ad. But one of my fave ads has to be the Bond Corgi Lotus underwater Esprit - yes!!

Thanks for ^posting more great pics, I will upload a funny one later in tribute to one of your Playmo ads

Hi Peter, I have some Group Action Joe as they were called in France - these ads feature the famous Eagle Eyes figures - as well as Jane, the only female action figure to feature the eagle eyes. They also made a version of the popular French cartoon character Rahan as seen in the first ad.

Hope you like these

1978:

Hi Paul,

Thanks for posting up these vintage Group Action Joe ads from 1978, 1979 and 1981. The one that I find intriguing is the 1978 ad. Do you have more information on this Eagle Eyes Jane figure? I tried to Google search for her but my search did not come up with anything.

Hi Peter, I hope this message finds you well following the recent sad news in your family.
In answer to your question, Group Action Joe (sometimes referred to as just 'Action Joe') was the French version of Action Man and GI Joe. The line was introduced in 1976 and in 1977 all the characters were given original names such as 'Jane', 'Joe', 'Tom', 'Bob', 'Peggy' (a black girl), 'Daïna' (an indian girl) plus many others in the line.
Eagle-Eyes were also introduced to the figures - 'Jane' was the only female doll of the line to be given eagle eyes.
The line was very popular. In 1978 French comic character 'Rahan' was added. In 1981 'Zorro' was added and was licensed by Disney.

Hope that helps, Peter

Soren, here is my little reconstruction of one of your Playmo ads...

there are a couple of incorrect accessories but mostly spot on!

Bump and ye shall receive

Rom


Corgi Superman

and not a toy, but found this really cool advert for the King Kong movie

Great thanks Paul

This Rom robot What is he ? Is he sold with the Action Man vintage toys ? I think i remember him sold with the space toys that was made for the Action Man .

Cheers Soren. Rom, SpaceKnight, is a character from Marvel comics around 1978/79. As well as the comics there were a few toys made but I'm pretty certain not for the Action Man/GI Joe 12" line.
