A Brief History

It's 1993 and following the success of the 3 3/4 Inch GI Joe figures a collection of 12inch figures arrived on the market these were followed very quickly by a new ACTIONman figure it had been 10 years or so but he was back and ready to expand the imaginations and entertain a completely new generation of fans.

Hands
