Action Man worked better for the OG line as it wasn't tied to the military, so they were able to do all sorts of figures/uniforms (like the "soccer" player kits) without it being weird. Not that we had a backlash against the Army/military in the '60s/'70s like the US. The 1990s line, it fits with the later pivot from the early military figures to the whole adventurer/extreme sports angle.

I always had conflicting feelings about Super Trooper. On one hand as a preteen I thought he looked neat (shiny!). But the ads and mini-comic for him made it seem like he was the baddest Joe around, practically capable of handling all of Cobra on his own, and that seemed to make him outshine (ha!) the rest of the team.
And I'm old school, so only Snake-Eyes gets to do that! ;) |

At least he's better than Rapid Fire aka: Super Trooper at a rave.

The only use I see for Super Trooper is with Sky Patrol. None of the other members were qualified or rated to fly the Sky Raven jet at the time, so that leaves the man with the vac armor.
