In the early 1980s, the European toy company Palitoy released a line of 3 3/4" military toys called Action Force. While most of the line was entirely original and similar to Kenner's Star Wars toys in articulation, many early G.I.Joe figures and vehicles were recolored, renamed, and incorporated into the Action Force line. Action Force toys were sold in most parts of Western Europe - including the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, West Germany, Italy, and Greece.

Haven’t been able to play with toys lately or do any restores but hopefully this quick pic of some of my favorites in my collection will hold you over.

Pictured above is the Z-Force Armoured Troop Carrier. It's a repaint of the American Armored Personnel Carrier (APC). The Action Force version has a much more complex green and black color scheme - as opposed to the drab green and tan American version.
