In the early 80’s, Palitoy released a line of 3.75 inch figures based on their popular Action Man line from the 70s. Although the line included several repainted GI Joe figures and vehicles (like the VAMP, Fang, Mobat, Steeler, Stalker and Snake Eyes to name a few), most of the characters were made from 5 POA figures. These were divided into several sub-teams like SAS (Special Ops) and Z-Force (Infantry).
Sonar Officer and Deep Sea Defender were part of Q-Force, Action Force’s Sea Operations team. I plan to make the rest of the team as soon as I figure out good recipes for the others. Reference pics courtesy of bloodforthebaron.com

Thanks guys! These are pretty simple, but I have been wanting to add some variety to my Action Force ranks for a while now. I have slowly been putting together members of Z-Force and SAS, but my shelf is left with a sea of green and black. These guys add some color to the bunch

Thanks. I thought I heard those names before. For some reason, I could not find them OB

Awesome! I love those early Action Force guys. I always thought they'd translate well into ME figures. Wish the Club would do a few for the FSS. I'll be looking forward to any more you make. Great work, OB.
