Dear Paul..sorry for delay in replying..but here is the info you needed
VAM figs (warts n all try to be as honest as poss)
British Infantry fiure late issue.
On an eagle eye talking figure with dog tag..Talks but little slow at end of phrase. Head has become detached needs restringing.(small patch on top of head thinning).Right trigger finger slightly stretched. Helmet in tact with strap..one side glued to inside as lug missing. You should be able to see from pic that the Carl gustav only has one half of it's bipod. Comes with bins and rifle with plastic strap. Also has water bottle aand bayonet scabbard (but bayonet gone awol) £45
M.P.s
Figure left of pic
Original hard hand figure and smg has wrong magazine. Nice clean thick heavyweight early issue Mp. Cap with correct badge, Tie. Shirt is DARK green. M.P. Armband. Belt holster and pistol. Black boots. Displays very nicely, but has he has been removed from cabinet for first time in ten years I have found he is a little slack around the waist. Smg has elastic strap. £45
M.P. fig on right of pic has repro clasic hands and BROWN lace up boots...not correct I know but worth a good swap or sell on.Nice clean thick heavyweight early issue Mp. Cap with correct badge, Tie which has elastic band instead of elastic around neck.. Shirt is LIGHT green. M.P. Armband. Belt holster and pistol. Displays very nicely, but has he has been removed from cabinet for first time in ten years I have found he is a little slack around the waist. Smg has elastic strap and correct magazine.
£45
As these are likely to sell at Cheshunt I don't want to lower the price at present.
Hope that all helps.
P.S. I need some id on a compass. I have the standard sized action man compass but I also have one that is half that size...I just can't quite remember which outfit it's from. Is it Escape from Dragon island?
As I'm going to be quite busy today if you need me urgently you can ring txt on 07702032175.
Hi Paul, thanks for getting in touch. Which figures were you liking the look of and I'll try and let you know pronto as some of them will be going to Cheshunt at the weekend (and that's a little bit far from Wales). Cheers, Sarah
Hi Paul,believe it or not this is our 1st home computer so bear with me for being a bit slow.Been an AM collector for about 7 years .Have got around 35 vintage figures,a few accessories & some 40th stuff. When I suss downloading pictures i'll put some on the site

Hi, like the new pictures mate. I am getting a bit jealous your collection keeps growing I've had the blocks but on my selling the wife said stop buying dolls but, I keep telling her there action figures. How are anyway mate?
hi paul - not been on site for weeks so just got your message along with favours.still alive and still collecting.hope alls well with you.will try and get some more pics on when i get the time - all the best.
Hey Paul,Thanks for the nice comments. I liked a lot of your figures too! Maybe if there is something you like and I have extra mabe we can trade. I started to collect gi joes in 93. I saw a gi joe in a yard sale and remembered my childhood and the fun I had. I haven't stopped collecting since. How long have you been collecting? Hope to hear from you soon Mike
Hey Paul, I just got my pictures up on my gallory. I have over a hundred figures. I didn't get pictures of my newer 90's joes. But I will soon. I was looking over your collection. You have a lot of great action men and gi joes. I especially like your vehicals. I really like your scorpion tanks. I've been trying to get one and a landrover for a while! Mike

Let a lone transfering vintage ads from video to dvd, Media shoots and writing up the blurb for it!!! sHITTING MYSELF, FOUND OUT TODAY iVE GOT TO DO A TALK IN FRONT OF 150+ peOPLE for the opening night!!! Im also doing valuations saturdays and sundays, so hopefully some goodies will surface! (Need some bloody money tho! Im a bit of a spendaholic and ordered a shitload of Vivienne Westwood Tshirts from the U.K at 50 quid each! I justified it by telling myself i had to look good at this exhibition!) When I have 5 minutes free I'll post some photos. Got my eye on a few things on ebay at the moment. theres a couple of really nice foreign face joes on at the moment! (MUST STOP SPENDING!)
