Those are great, I would have loved them, just a bit before my time unfortunately.

 

Reminds me a little bit of a larger range of vehicles released in the 80s by BHS, Explorer 12, which I did have some of. Hardly anyone seems to remember those though.

I’ve just treated myself to a Corgi Lotus Esprit submarine from The Spy Who Loved Me.

Nice bump @Tony Moanero

 

Did anyone have Action Force figures and vehicles? 
 

Had quite a bit of the Z Force, SAS and Red Barons stuff.

Been listening to some podcasts from 2000AD Thrill Cast about Battle Action comics. Sadly two mainstays of British comics Alan Grant and Ian Kennedy passed away last year. 
 

This one is with Garth Ennis the writer behind The Boys and Preacher.

Is this the final installment of the Pixar set of films where everybody looks back on their time as kids?

Had the red shadow tank thing and the SAS jeep with numerous figures. Massively underrated toy line. Iron blood (?) was such a cool figure (the one with the mask).

We had these as toys in the 70s. 
 

you may be surprised at their function.
