Ewoks.
G

in it mad but they didn't have I mean obviously post Return of the Jedi because I'm guessing they wanted to keep the franchise about the franchise and not have an animated version of it in any way but it's amazing really that they didn't because I was well into Star Wars figures I mean like every kid my age I think I had a little collection of Star Wars figures and then you diversify at Christmas because your parents don't want to buy always Star Wars figures that's when I got He-Man and then you start to get Action Force and then you start to get Action Man and stuff like that and again Action Man no comic of that no cartoon of that in the UK which seems crazy and
A
11:01Adrian MillsHOST
Well, because it was G.I. Joe, wasn't it? Yeah, but we never got a G.I.
A
11:05Adrian MillsHOST
Joe in the UK.

grip.
A
28:11Adrian MillsHOST
The grip.
A
28:12Adrian MillsHOST
I went down, basically, because I was reading about G.I. Joe, I ended up going down a bit of an action man wormhole this morning, today as well, and reading about other innovations and the grippy hands.
G
28:21Graham RaddingsHOST
What do they call them in the UK, that grip? I don't know.
THE FULL FORCE WEEKLY LIVE: EPISODE 292!!
C
91:16Christopher McLeodHOST
There's more.
C
91:18Christopher McLeodHOST
Classified Mask, Action Man, and any other Hasbro-owned IPs are on the table.
C
91:24Christopher McLeodHOST
So, again, I would take that as, yeah, we'll probably like to see more Action Man characters and Mask introduced at some point into Classified.
C
91:35Christopher McLeodHOST
Now, obviously, they're in the Energon universe.
C
91:36Christopher McLeodHOST
So maybe there's a tie in there.
C
91:39Christopher McLeodHOST
You know, it kind of depends on what the plans are going forward.
C
91:43Christopher McLeodHOST
But I'd be very surprised not to see, you know, the mask team and like any other, you know, action action man characters, Micronauts, you know, all that stuff is all possibility or possibilities.
C
91:58Christopher McLeodHOST
Now, of course, we have seen Marvel Legends sort of take rom and also the micronauts now so you know maybe it's not necessarily worth it for them to do those sort of characters but where you know you've got mask where you've got even void rivals um and and elements like that i can see those particular characters you know finding their way into classified um you know definitely but then you know not even just comic related elements but like just brand ownership visionaries um trying to think of other ones they've got uh there's a lot but you know it's one of those things where i think it's we'll have to wait and see but they're definitely on the table and that we also talk collaborations as well and uh that that's another thing that you know i think we can expect to see more of going forward for sure even stuff that isn't necessarily hasbro owned as well is what i'm getting out there The other point is that more Lara Croft Tomb Raider classified figures will be showing up in store at Walmart.

Wow.
N
59:25Nick AlvianiPANELIST
I've still got Action Men toys somewhere lying around.
N
59:28Nick AlvianiPANELIST
Do you remember them? Yeah, I remember the Action Men.
N
59:29Nick AlvianiPANELIST
That was the male version of a Barbie.
N
59:32Nick AlvianiPANELIST
You used to dress it up, didn't you? In the Barbie club.
N
59:38Nick AlvianiPANELIST
Ahead of your time.
N
59:39Nick AlvianiPANELIST
Were they

different action men or just one?
EP 56: ANSWERING BACK
A
11:39Andrew WildmanHOST
But, no, I didn't approach them at all when the kind of mid-'90s disaster happened, but did work back in British comics.
A
11:50Andrew WildmanHOST
So it was Action Man and Power Rangers and bits and pieces like that.
A
11:54Andrew WildmanHOST
But Action Man was a good one to do because, you know, when I was a kid, of the things that interest me, there was the Beano and the Dandy and Action Man being a huge one.
A
12:04Andrew WildmanHOST
I mean, I've still got...
A
12:05Andrew WildmanHOST
We've got some Action Man stuff, and then obviously Action Force is something that was relevant to our careers as comics creators and G.I. Joe.
A
12:16Andrew WildmanHOST
So those things, they're kind of always there, but there are other people who are far better suited to it.
A
12:23Andrew WildmanHOST
In fact...
S
12:48Simon FurmanHOST
And the same with Lou Stringer, who worked on obviously Robo Capers and Combat Colin for Marvel.
S18 E7: Sally Timms and Jon Langford of Mekons
J
54:53Jon LangfordGUEST
yeah.
J
54:54Jon LangfordGUEST
My grandmother bought me an Action Man from Cardiff Market, which was actually like a Barbie doll with an Action Man head stuck on.
J
55:04Jon LangfordGUEST
So it had little breasts and funny legs and the joints didn't move.
J
55:09Jon LangfordGUEST
Yeah, and she put a little...
The Full Force [REDACTED] - INTERVIEW WITH HASBRO G.I. JOE BRAND TEAM - 10/20/2026!!
C
54:37Christopher McLeodHOST
Thank you very much, guys.
C
54:39Christopher McLeodHOST
Now, this is again, multiple people have asked this question, but with Action Man's recent release, does that open the door for other Action Man characters? Or was it just sort of like a one and done scenario?
B
54:53BMACGUEST
That's a hard to say.
B
54:54BMACGUEST
Yes, they're on the table because we do own it.
B
54:59BMACGUEST
I understand everybody's like, hey, Lara's a perfect retool or redeco and new head to make Natalie pool would be great.
B
55:07BMACGUEST
Where's all the villains? it's just a matter of where does it fit in with the line and how are we going to do it? It was kind of a, we wanted to show all the fans in Europe that like what classified is.
B
55:19BMACGUEST
So like the backpack shows like from the makers of GI Joe classified, but it's fully action man branded and it's bright orange and it looks like that.
B
55:27BMACGUEST
So it was kind of a way for us to learn from our, our fans in Europe, like, Hey, is there more of this that you're interested in? Should there be a sub line that is action man? Um, And I think the response has been overwhelmingly positive for everybody who is an Action Man fan.

GI Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Productions and Sunbow Productions, 1983-1987)
J
60:00James IrishHOST
Onigiri, what's that? What? But one of the changes actually was baked into the original toy's production history, where in the 1960s, when the 12-inch G.I.
J
60:11James IrishHOST
Joe toys were released in the United Kingdom, they were dubbed the less region-specific Action Man, which with the 1980s incarnation became Action Force, which is now a separate group in the G.I. Joe pantheon, as is the adversaries, the barren iron blood led red shadows what a great name for a villain faction this would affect comic book releases which had their own continuity and the cartoon would be renamed and edited accordingly to fit the marketing in that region and telly toon was the guy who turned me back on to this fact so thank you telly
K
60:51Krissi HardingHOST
thanks telly Yeah, it's really interesting how they had to, because it's kind of like, it's like, well, we're going to move it outside of the United States.
K
60:59Krissi HardingHOST
Really, how are you going to do that? This is very Americanized that most places are going to be like, why would we want to read about these guys? Good job.
