Many thanks for the links.
Also, who were the major characters on the Action Force only (non-G.I. Joe characters despite being born in different places that what we know in the USA) side of the Comic? Lastly, when did Action Force moslty swith to G.I. Joe characters? It is just a different world than what we are used to. The Battle Action Force comics started with the SAS Force, Z Force, etc., troops and storylines before the Palitoy line was bought by Hasbro and the GI Joe characters were introduced (though many with modifications to backstory, though the same figures afaiu). The Marvel UK comics comprised original storylines that used the GI Joe characters (again many modified) and interleaved various episodes of the US Marvel ARAH run into the storyline. Some more background on Action Force (as the above were all branded): Action Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Probably best to have a flick through the comics to see who played a part, but it was heavily based on the '85 toys (3 3/4" Figures | YoJoe.com: Dedicated to the G.I.Joe of the 80's, 90's and beyond!), plus taking into account those characters who were in the (reprinted) US Marvel run but not in toy form in the UK (e.g. Scarlett, Baroness, Cobra Troopers, Cobra Commander). |

Secondly, these are the characters that we have in the 4-Inch Modern Era scale with very easy paint applications and adding decals.
1. Blades - 2011 Convention. 2. Dolphin DG Wave 2 with new head. 3. Gaucho - Repaint vest with red paint. 4. Hunter - Add a SAS decal. 5. Jammer - Paint beret red and add a Z Force decal on chest. 6. Moondancer - DG wave 2 with current head. 7. Quarrel - FSS 1.0 8. Stalker - Just use a 25th Commando Snake Eyes. 9. Steeler - Red paint apps with and add a Z Force decals on Arms. 10. Bombadier - FSS 2.0

Bombardier will look nice next to Blades and Quarrel.
Want Black Major, Red Jackal and a Gaucho with updated parts.

the main players in BAF tend to be Eagle, Quickfire and Stakeout in SAS Force; Skip, Tracker, Breaker, Quarrel and Steeler in Z Force; Sky Raider, Hawkwind, Hot Jets and Blast Off in Space Force; Shark, Leviathan and Phones in Q Force.
basically because they were the ones in series 2 wave 1 of AF when the line swapped from '3 3/4in versions of Action Man 12in figures' to 'multinational counter-terror team battles terrorists'. Last edited by CapBritain; 04-13-2013 at 02:46 AM.. |

oh, and none of the Q Force fgures were identified as being the Q Force leader: Dolphin is the Sea Lion pilot. BAF treats Leviathan as the Q Force CO since he's a. a Commander and b. part of series 2 wave 1 whereas Dolphin didn't appear until wave 2.
and the white Scarlett repaint called Athena was a Brazilian 'Comandos Em Acao' exclusive. |

Yeah, I thought Leviathan was the Q Force leader.
SAS and Z Force were easily my favourites. |

I was hoping for a couple more first-tier AF characters in the second FSS... but Bombardier? I'm all for rare characters, but he wouldn't have been top of the list. Skip or Quickfre would have been soooo easy to do.
But if they ever put a Red Shadow in the FSS, I'll riot.

Many thanks for the input and help. I also agree that Dave Tree is getting a nod on this one as well by the Club for the Bombardier figure.
