Joe collecting can be confusing, I think Hasbro wanted to keep the well established name for brand recognition.
I think most collectors refer to the small Joe's as being Real American Hero usually using the acronym A.R.A.H.

Action Force was originally marketed by Palitoy, for the first year at least, as "Action-man:Action Force" after the second year they down played the Action-man connection but the packaging still carried the Action-man logo until the Hasbro re-launch.

You know the name, You know the number..

Vintage LJN "Bendy" Stripe




Been in my collection since new. I found him recently while looking for some stuff in storage. Totally forgotten about him until now.

I haven't seen this before. Did they have gizmo and others?

They had other's in their range, although Stripe was the only bendy one.

There a list of them on figurerealm. But being I'm a FNG am unable to post a link...

Look under Gremlins (LJN) on figurerealm*com (...links, links)

I'm fairly sure I had a wind-up gizmo too but think that went long ago.

Here's the ones I've managed to gather together..

It's been posted before in the thread but here's my own Corgi Buck Rogers Starfighter.




Again this is a long time owned piece, all that paint rubbing...

I did that!!

Is this a statue?

Hi, yep this Bond's a small 1:16 scale figurine (produced by Dragon Models) that I've posed on a B.B. gun

Cool die cast. The Lotus is in great nick. I love the Corgi Juniors copters with the blades you could fold up. That's the Bond one you have there isn't it? What's the horse trailer and plane from?

Hi & thanks, yep, the 'copter is also from The Spy Who Loved Me.. the other one is also James Bond, from Octopussy:

 

Here's the helicopter they did for Moonraker..

Zardu Hasselfraus' magical talking boat..

The a team was a favorite show from my childhood. Love these.

Really cool die cast T'shot, especially A-Team, Knightrider and the silver Superman van. The Superman lorry makes me laugh because it's going around plainly advertising that Superman is Clarke Kent

That is awesome. I never even thought of that. A kid probably wouldn't put that together either, but revealing the secret identity in that way is funny.

Super obscure old figure from a super obscure old television show




I'm still looking for the figure of her crime-busting partner Dempsey.

Great stuff. Never heard of Dempsey and make peace but cool little figure. Almost gi joe like but with more limited articulation it appears to be. The batmobile looks like the Tonka release but there is something off about the window, does it slide to reveal Batman or something? I never saw one Luke that but the window looks like it moves. And of course t2. That was the ultimate evolution of terminator when the movie came about, and I loved the character. Never had the toy that I recall but I did have some terminator style skeleton figure i seem to remember. Was a 5poa figure i think, so wasnt even as good as that t2 figure.

Cool latest additions. I'll hold my hand up I admit I watched Dempsey and Makepeace back in the day, and I think I had a bit of a crush on Glynis Barber

The action figures are cute. I found a pic online courtesy of collect all net. Love the British Bobby and the police dog

There was a fair bit of merchandise for this show like die cast vehicles, transfers, books, plastic guns and handcuffs playsets.
