I know Action Man is the British equivalent of GI Joe but I was not aware that ART + SCIENCE was the manufacture of them, back in the day I know it was Palitoy.

Those look awesome!
G.I. Joe and Action Man were a great part of my childhood. I loved playing with those toys with my brother, he'd make up elaborate stories and adventures for us to play out. Fantastic toys.

Hasbro teamed up with Art+Science International to release these 50th Anniversary Action Man figures.
Might as well comment on the figures too, since I'm back in the thread. Big fan of old style Joes and would def pickup the scuba diver if the price was lower. Over $100 each is way too much and I can easily see these hitting the clearance section on BBTS down the road. The marketing says made for collectors, but there really isn't much to these things. They should be in the $35-$40 range, but just like Gentle Giant Jumbos, they have priced these way too high killing the line right out of the gate. If your gonna make it for collectors, then go all out like what they did for the SGT ROCK years ago. Now this is a collectors set in old Joe fashion 
That is an awesome looking set for sure and I agree with you on the price point, these Art + science Action man figures did seem overpriced to me as well, I remember when Walmart released the basic 60's era figures with kung fu grip in 2008 for 10 dollars a pop I scooped them up like they were going out of style. While that price point was lower than expected these are way higher than is called for at nearly 60 dollars for a same exact basic figure. Sure its 8 years later but a nearly 600% price increase is crazy.
Nope 
These things never dropped in price and are sitting in stock at BBTS.

I picked up the football player and the soldier basic figure and wouldn't recommend them. The heads are squished and the paint job, though clean, makes them look like as if they're wearing lipstick.
Nope
Yeah I think that's part of the issue, these are overpriced to start with.
Thanks for that, I'm not a fan of the squishy head thing, I was considering the diver as I don't have one in my collection but 90 dollars or over a 100 shipped for a figure I got from Walmart in 2011 for 10 dollars is just not adding up.

Nice packaging.
It really is pretty nice, at least for the deluxe figures, basic figure gets the old fashion style except it does not open like a shoe box, just a tab at the top or bottom

Love the presentation there. Nice score buddy.
Thanks very much, I'm going to leave them in the box for just that reason, they display nicely.
