  • In this video we explore all the toy possibilities that would have been available to us in the 1980s if Palitoy had secured the rights to Indiana Jones and had brought character into their hugely popular Action Man toy line.

    A superb documentary from Tony, proving once again that Palitoy Action Man was and still is, the best action figure toyline, ever made.

    THIS is the reason it only makes sense to remain objective in this hobby. Your study, awareness, and passion for Action Man and Indiana Jones are the reason this fantastic custom was possible. Well done Tony, as always.

    Has a guy the age of 52 I was there when all of these toys were released for both Star Wars and Raiders of the lost. I remember wanting an Indiana Jones 12 inch figure, but could never afford it looking back at this video. I didn’t realize just how bad the toy was designed. I love this channel it brings back so many memories. I also appreciate the fact that you understand history, as well as firearms.

    @AllBreaksLoose 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Your custom looks better than the newer 6" figure line. Great video Tony! The fact that you know every type of gun, what scene, etc...and which action man set it came in....damn. that's beyond most of the toy channels out there...

    I would like to take a moment and appreciate the opening of this video and how it recreates the paramount logo fading to a similar shape as the mountain, in this case the tent , great detail that foreshadows the same amount of awesomeness that this video is ❤ as a Canadian Indy fan, I tip my Fedora off 🎉

    Great video Tony! Definitely all the ingredients were there for Pallitoy to use should they have been inclined to do an Indy line. Awesome still and onsite filming, PH makes for a decent Egypt stand in.

    I had the entire collection of Star Wars 12” and the single Indy 12”. You’re absolutely right, it was a bit of a brokedick version, especially the fedora. However, the face sculpture did make up for it, even though it made it more of a collectors item. Given I was 10 years old I would’ve wanted something to play with though.

    Great video... makes me wish I had gotten into 12 inch as a kid (now I have a few Captain Actions in my collection). I never understood all the hate for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull... yeah it had some silly moments but it also had some great action scenes in exotic locales which is what I want from Indy.

    Another fantastic video Tony! My first ever exposure to Action Man was in the 90s through the cartoon. I didn’t even realise there was a whole series before that. I’ve learnt a lot of toy history since finding your channel a few years ago, and can see the passion and love that you have for the line.
    And to marry that with Indy, it really was a missed opportunity for Palitoy!

    Possibly one of the best videos you’ve done. Love the attention to detail, and facts. You got to be honest, though, Michael French helped with this right?😂😂 just kidding. Truly enjoyed it. You’re gonna have to go back though, and give everybody the appropriate pit, stains, and back sweat.

    It'd be the singular reason I'd want an Action Man figure of Indy's father, so he could sit in the bike's sidecar and look disapprovingly at his son's jousting antics. 😁

    It’s funny when the most recent Indiana Jones movie came out last year and was set in 1969 I was thinking that was about the same time my parents bought me my first G.I. Joe an Adventure Team Man of Action. So I was thinking it would be cool to have an Adventure Team Indiana Jones.

    Oh I'm totally going to make my own Indy now. I'll probably use the cotswold elite brigade body though as the GI Joe muscle body and replicas are a bit hard to come by...but WOW those Hasbro 12" Indy figures have gotten costly too! I have the talking figure mib on the way to me. If I can get a good deal on the whip cracking Indy's head, I might go with that...thanks for the inspiration!! Once he's finished, I bet he'll look great next to my Death Wish figure from Grunga toys.

    Awesome video, Tony! I really love the idea of imagining what "might have been" for a toy line, and I definitely agree that Action Man had a lot of the essential components to build out a fully realized Indiana Jones toy line. Nicely done, sir!👍

  • @gerainthorton8980
    @gerainthorton8980 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    I can understand Lucas going with Kenner after the success they had with Star Wars figures. But this is an interesting scenario to explore. It likely would have been something Palitoy ran with.
    I love the way you and Michael build figures or groups for you figure and explain your choices. Can see the work or thought put into your videos.

    Well done on this video. It was very informative and entertaining.

  • @blackedd623
    @blackedd623 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great idea, Tony nice custom figure too. There are so many properties that Palitoy should/could have licenced for the Action Man line, The Professionals seems like an oblivious choice for a licence deal in the 80's too.

    Great stuff. I got a laugh out of Kenner's Indy Gandalf hat. The tank was made as a toy, a 'Micro Action Tank' as a park exclusive as was the Raiders Flying Wing. They are fairly easy to get on the secondary market. I always felt there should have been at least one Indy movie set entirely in China. The 'waiter' who dies at the start of Temple of Doom has 'been on many adventures' with Indy.

    Action Man was whatever 12" figure I wanted him to be. Take a dynamic physique Action Man, stip his cloths, pair him with Panthor and Zoar from Masters of the Universe, and give him Lion-O's Sword of Omens from Thundercats, along with Action Man's satchel bag, and boom - he's Beastmaster. Take a black SAS overall, the helmet, boots and gauntlets from the Future Soldier (I forget the proper name, but it's the one Palitoy scaled down for Action Force), give him a Space Patrol blaster and he's Judge Dredd. But my favourite use of Action Man as another character, was taking the cloth suit from a 12" bendy Spider-Man that had long since crumbled to dust, putting it on Action Man, and giving him an SAS hood with Battle of Britain Goggles - and suddenly, Action Man was the web-slinger himself.
