Meccanno Action Man 1982
Palitoy Action Man wasn’t just marketed to children in the UK it also spread to countries such as France, where Miro-Meccano brought the fuzzy haired, eagle eyed soldiers to market.
In addition to 12″ figures, Meccano also brought in the popular 3 3/4″ Action Force line that was very popular at the time..

That's an interesting photo of Zargon with a Red Visor. I've heard rumors that he was only ever released with a green visor, and the red was some weird prototype.
I love how Palitoy used the 6MDM space suit gloves & boots, and reused them for Joe and the Space Rangers line
