Before the UK's Action Force merged into GI Joe, they were based on Action Man, the UK version of GI Joe 12" range.
One of the Action Force teams were based on the SAS (though the real life version is British, the Action Force version is international). The original figures had swivel joints at the shoulders hips and neck, but I've started 25th style customs. |

I've always loved the Action Force SAS figures! Thanks for the cool updates. That Frogman is outstanding! All of them are!

Superb work!!! I've always favoured the UK AF figures to Joes(being English myself!) and these look as good as 'official' versions.
Altough personally I preferred Z-Force - Do you plan on tackling them?

Thanks for the comments and the warm welcome guys!
I'm sticking to SAS for the moment, but I'll definately do Quarrel! In the UK continuity, Flint is ex-SAS (whether that's SAS force or British SAS is unclear) so a headswap with Flint's head on Eagle's body also looks OK. I did the sculpt job on Quick Fire last night. He has two heads - a 25th Style head and a 'classic' head! Meanwhile, here's Stalker, originally a repaint of Snake Eyes, so I've repainted the 25th figure in that style... |

Enjoy! Cobra... Red Shadows |
