A ghost of Christmas past... Santa's toy deliveries

[madmacs]

Anyone over the age of 30 in the UK should definitely remember Action Man (GI Joe to the colonialists) I remember getting the Life Guards, Blues and Royals, the free gift of the Mountie uniform etc etc... Generally all for Christmas.

The one I dont recall receiving though was the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders one... Which set me off this morning on the interweb looking to see just how rose tinted my memories of it might be...

First find... Almost but not quite...

Apparently there was a 2006 reissue for the 40th anniversary
