In 2016, in order to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Action Man's original release in 1966, Hasbro and Arts + Sciences, International collaborated to release a range of Action Man 12" action figures and sets. One of these sets was the iconic Action Man Ski Patrol uniform set. The ever popular Action Man Ski Patrol set was originally launched in 1966, both as a set, and as separate accessory equipment cards. This fantastic 50th Anniversary reissue set comes with a 12" Action Man fully articulated figure with brown flocked hair and gripping hands. It combines reissues of accessories from the original Ski Patrol set, as well as those from the Mountain Troops equipment card. Accessories included are a high quality Arctic White ski parka and trousers, white helmet, white backpack, white M1 rifle, skis and ski poles, snow shoes, black boots, ice axe with yellow rope, goggles, web belt, grenades, boots, Action Man field manual, and dog tag.
This 2016 re-issue of the Action Man Ski Patrol takes action figure collecting to a whole new level. The attention to detail is noteworthy. It definitely gives a nod to collectors by replacing the original Alaska Command Bear badge on the uniform and helmet, with a restyled US 10th Mountain Division badge. Hasbro (and Arts + Sciences) also placed a cardboard former inside the back pack so that it can retain its shape. The jacket is clearly labeled 50th in the collar, and has the new aforementioned badge woven onto the chest. The helmet is distinct too, having the new badge, and stronger redesigned helmet lugs. This exceptional set comes in a quality window box that also doubles as a presentation box with mountain landscape backdrop diorama. What more can a Joe head ask for, a fully loaded, very attractive 12" action figure in a beautiful display box!
Item is brand new and is mint condition. The box has never been opened and is in great shape, with little to no shelf wear. The box displays beautifully. Please refer to pics and ask any questions before bidding as there are no returns :-(
