Action Man

The Ministry of Defence has teamed up with a toy company to produce a range of action figures based on its serving armed forces. The toys will be launched on VE day and come with accessories including tanks, rocket launchers and aircraft -- all based on current military hardware. The MoD wants to raise the profile of the armed forces, but not everyone is welcoming the government's involvement in the toy trade.

I am sick to death of pathetic, worthless, liberal pacifist wankers like that anti-gun bitch on this video. They are the most idiotic and closed minded people on this planet and deserve to be shot via firing squad for treason. Thats what protesting aganst these figures is, treason. As they obviously do not appreciate the work of our soldiers and mlitary that protect our lives everyday. If you disagree with our military by protesting against these figures; fuck off and live with the Taliban.

2:11 Oh! I grew up with the ActionMan W/ Guns. You are not going to send 8 year olds to a war. Around 13-15 you understand that war is not like in the movies (most movies).

If your child grows up without learning that your child was born retarded.

God, I so sick of people thinking everything in our media is trying to warp our children. This is why Action Man has to be so damn politically correct. I played with GI Joes as a kid and not only have I never wanted to join the military, but I don't even own a gun or wish to own a gun

I hate how people complain about the army navy and RAF trying to recruit young people but then go on about how there so glad the armed forces are fighting for them. Make your bloody mind up ever we need the forces or we dont stop complaining about them. I believe they do an excellent job and these toys look quite good ps nice one!!
