Reviews of the latest wave of G.I.Joe Classified Series offerings continues, but with a twist, as Bobby Bee of Bee’s Battlegrounds has acquired his copy of the new Action Man figure. Although he’s part of the G.I.Joe family, he’s more Classified-adjacent than a part of the lineup.

Check out Bobby’s review below, followed by official product photography and details –

Who Is Action Man?

Action Man is a British action figure line originally released by Palitoy in 1966 as a licensed, localized version of Hasbro’s G.I. Joe. Over subsequent decades, the character developed his own identity, missions, and gadget-driven adventures, becoming one of the most recognizable action figures in the UK and across Europe.

Origins and Legacy

Action Man began life as a direct adaptation of G.I. Joe for the British market but quickly grew beyond that starting point. Distinct storylines, equipment, and a broader “adventurer” persona set him apart from his American counterpart, and the brand became a staple of toy shelves throughout the UK and Europe for generations of collectors and kids alike.

The G.I. Joe Classified Series Revival

Hasbro has brought Action Man into its modern G.I. Joe Classified Series lineup, folding the character formally into the larger G.I. Joe universe as an “international super agent” who operates alongside the Joe team against Cobra. The new 6-inch scale figure includes premium articulation, detailed sculpting, and packaging styled after the character’s original look, along with a substantial accessory set: climbing gear, goggles, a backpack, weapons, and an alternate head among them.

Verdict

For longtime fans, the Classified Series Action Man release is a notable piece of toy history: a character born as G.I. Joe’s overseas counterpart is now formally reunited with the brand that inspired him. Collectors focused on articulation, accessory count, and modern sculpting detail should find this release worth adding to a Classified Series collection.
