Here's a question for any collectors of action figures out there. In the above photo is a recent replacement for a REDBOX figure I originally owned back in 1971. I remembered his face as being the exact same as PALITOY's ACTION MAN, though without the scar, but as you can see, it isn't so. Perhaps I'm confusing him with a different figure I bought the year before (in 1970), but what I'd like to ask you all is this: Did any of you ever have a cheaper version action figure with a face that was the double of Action Man, but like I said, without a scar? If that rings any bells with you, please let me know.
Incidentally, that's the same figure in both sides of the photo (achieved via computer trickery), before and after I'd painted the hair and eyebrows and given him some clothes. I thought I'd done him proud, but he'd the cheek to ask me for 50p for a cup of tea (guv'nor), too. Never happy, are they?
