davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2021

He looks fun.  Is he going to get let out of his box?

I don't know yet. In fact, I'm not entirely sure why I bought this fig. It was another impulse buy, but at least it was cheap.
I did not know that Hasbro marketed the Action Man line in the States, but apparently they did, briefly, in the mid-1990s. Action Man was originally a licensed European version of GI Joe.

A new star for the comic?

Star? Probably not. More like a background extra. Maybe he will eventually work his way up to small speaking parts.

Interesting "weapon" he's got there.  They have some great accessories!

Yes, most of the Action Man sets have cool accessories... that shoot projectiles of some sort or other!

A few members on action figure forums have suggested substituting trimmed down barbecue skewer sticks for the included soft blow-gun darts, saying they work very well and are capable of "sticking in to" targets.

Action figure fandom: it's like never growing old; or at least, never growing up!
