In the USA I think he was called GI Joe, in the UK it was Action man. I had 5 "Action men" , my "squad" Parachutist, Diver, 2x Pongo, and an Astronaut. They were inherited from my brothers, so came with missing hands, "bulletholes" made by a screwdriver and other stuff, but they were my sqaud, and we had some great adventures.

Most importantly, they all had an SLR (or FN) rifle each, and thus were indestructible.

Yep - the "Gasworks Gang" saw some pretty tough action back in the day, and always came through.

Action Man he could do everything except dress himself 

Remember getting woken up in the early hours on Christmas Day by my son 

to put a frogman suit on , nearly lost a eye 

Got me thinking of some that weren’t so good and some even had poorer spinoffs 

Like, ON The Buses can anybody remember the name of it’s spinoff

and at Christmas my family and friends would take a lucky dip ,

Sorry to report this, but with regard to the "Napoleon" movie starring Joaquin Phoenix that was produced by Ridley Scott, the initial feedback is negative. It only earned an IMDB of 6.6, which can be watchable, but for this level of talent is disappointing. The reviews tend to-be are negative.

I doubt I will watch it.

Was looking forward to seeing this movie, went to see on its release 

sorry to say was disappointed ,
