Not really Action Man.
These are 10" British military figures.
They just hope to ride the AM nostalgia wave.

The models, to be sold under the "HM Armed Forces" brand name, feature three different 10-inch action figures...

Agreed. That article title really leads the reader to think these are legit "Action Man" items. They look nice, but why 10" if they are really trying to replicate the feel of a 12" figure?

Saw them yesterday in one of our better supermarkets (Sainsburys). They are okay, but I have seen much better. Every one of the Royal Marines I saw looked cross-eyed.

Hmmm. Isn't that accurate though? From what I've heard about the actual real world Royal Marines, that's pretty much standard...

;-) :-P
