I had every kind of Action Man you could get with associated vehicles, tanks, helicopter etc etc. I have no idea what happened to them but it seems one day I was always playing with my Action Men completely oblivious to life's complexities, and the next I discovered girls and started playing with them instead.  |

"with eagle eyes "
That was in the later versions, and yes I had a couple with eagle eyes, and gripping hands, although they never held their handguns properly and didn't have a cock, so I didn't see the point in gripping hands tbh. |

We used to play cards a lot and read a lot of comics. Can't remember a particular favourite, we had so many between the eight of us. Used to like those plastic figures with parachutes though and anything you could make from the Rupert Books. |

I used to work in the plastic factory that made them during the school holidays ...... the ones that looked like they had been tiedyd were supposed to be rejects (when we changed the plastic feed lines) but as we were paid by the amount we packaged up they tended to slip through quality control  |

Yes and such beautiful illustrations. They also had the optional "hard reading" for the more confident reader. |
