European Action Force - Escape Armor
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.
Pictured above is the Action Force Escape Armor. It was created using the same mold as the Cobra S.N.A.K.E. Armor, but molded in red.
