In this video we skydive into the history of Action Man’s working parachutes and we also attempt what could be a world first – a parachute jump using a modern 6″ scaled Valaverse Action Force figure.

Now I cant wait for the Valaverse Paratroopers and just upgrade kits of parachutes to have displayed as hanging from my ceiling like I always wanted to do as a kid with 12'' Gijoes definitely gonna need more Desert Rats in alt uniforms now too
Two more of those and Desert Rat gets his wings! Great idea Tony!
Bloody lovely. Thank you.
Excellent ending man! I have this feeling that you have something brewing for a whole new type of paratrooper?! 😏
Amazing video, Tony! It looks like you had a lot of fun getting Desert Rat "Parachute Qualified". 😆
Back in true form! 😎
“I’ve got spares!” 😂
Good chute!! Awesome video, Tony 🤙🏼
This was awesome Tony, cheers and Happy New Year mate🍻
When the G.I. Joe action figures arrived in my town back in the day, a classmate of mine bought a figure then made a parachute for it made of a thick cellophane attached with strings. He folded the parachute in a way that the strings will not entangled while airborne. Once he's done, he threw the figure up the air…and it worked! But the cellophane got damaged after so many uses and replacing it is a hardwork.
Bravo😄!
Wow happy memories as child .that looked alot fun
Excellent video, Tony.
Now, what else can we do with your spare Desert Rat's?! 🙂
He survived I’m surprised
“I’ve got spares” bwahaha. Excellent video, thanks Tony.
I’ve been waiting for Action Force to do Paratroopers, but I didn’t realize till now that I wanted working parachutes 😂
I come for the informative Vintage Toy videos, but I stay to watch a grown man play with action figures in the Outback. And since you've proven that its possible to make a functioning 1:12 Parachute, Bobby definitely needs to be convinced to make a functioning parachute for the Valaverse Action Force figures. Now do we stick to the classic style parachute or do we ask for like a modern style wing parachute?
Thank you for the video. Listen to Robert Elms on the BBC under Grants Action Man Nightmare.
I had an Action man as a kid, I use to use a broken umbrella and use the cloth as the parachutealso my sister use to tie her cindy doll on to one too
AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!!!
I completed the US Army Airborne School in 1994 at Ft. Benning GA.
Went on to serve in 3rd Ranger Battalion & Special Operations Command Europe.
Love your channel, Tony my brother!
Don't EVER stop doing what you do
That was very cool. Seems they don’t do chutes since I was little. Weird eh.
I envy you having real silk for your parachutes. I only remember my toys in the 80's having a very thin plastic for their parachutes. And while it did work, it just didn't last very long at all.
I had one of these. I loved it. Lord I regret that we didn't keep these.
Another fantastic video Tony! Palitoy just did so much right. I've said it before but us kids from that era had no idea how lucky we were.
Great video Tony thanks again mate 👍🏻👍
Hay Tony I have a question, when Palitoy was making action force and they had different sub-team what would an action force martial arts team have been?
Awesome video man! I love seeing action man since I was born in America and I did not get to appreciate these toys! Thank you for showing us these amazing pieces!
This was awesome! I like the pacing of the intercut editing. Thanks for your allied service, from a yank!
My mate fell out of his bedroom window trying to get Action Man parachutist flying, he survived somehow. Action Man was never seen again, his father made certain of that. Now 56 he's done lots of jumps to raise money for charity. 😊
When this channel goes quiet for a few weeks you know Tony is working on something great 👍
This is so cool. Love the demo and the history of the toy line. If you ever have the chance you could recreated the para jump scene from a bridge too far.
father was in 3 para for suez, cant wait to show him this !! long live pegasus..
That was awesome. I only had GI Joe parachutes. Man pulling those out 20+ years later was a pain to untangle.
My father was a para trooper in the british military in the late 50s to early 60s.
Modern Action Force has done most environments. The sea and the air are the few remaining.
Where there's a drone, there's a way. Great video!
I had the Red Devil outfit as a boy (orange parachute). I soon decided to use my oldest action man (out of 2), in case of any malfunctions. However, have to say my dad and I did manage to get it working fairly successfully. Happy memories of childhood long, long ago 😊😢. Allan
Merry christmas Tony to you and your Family 🎄
Always eagerly await your action man content. Another fantastic one. Thanks.
And best wishes for 2024.
Happy New Year Tony-now that was a fun and fantastically innovative video! Well done. I had the 1983 Action Force paratrooper and loved him. He used to fly from my grandmother's 17th floor to either the neighbour 5 floors down or crash to the ground down below. I would definitely purchase a Valaverse version of this in any and all paint schemes. Thanks for the content😊
That. Was. AWESOME!
Get ready for Roberts Action, Man! 😮
Outstanding. I had an adventure people skydiver when I was a kid. You could roll the parachute up on his back and throw him up in the air and it would work perfectly. When I got into gi joe I would put it on them. It wasn't perfect for them where they where a little lighter but it still worked. Thanks for a great video
The parachute needed to be bigger and made with a softer material.
So happy to see you do more action man video
Hey Tony that was a lot of fun. I never had a GI Joe with a chute then but we did have smaller action figures and they almost worked. Oh and Merry Christmas.
If this had been available in the US i so would have had a set
most of the Para gear i had for my action man was bought from toy fairs for pocket money prices, but it was also seleted as seperate bits rather than complete sets, its weird seeing how many different sets mine were made up from, i have the pilot helmet, the Israeli harness, the orange canopy….. or at least i should stillhave them in abox in the cellar!
The second floor window was every kids C-17 for these guys back then.
Loved this one, as a kid, I had the red suited guy, I regularly got one of these stuck up a tree, loved throwing it out of my bedroom window.
Great information 👍 Great job 👏
