Great job Dave. Action Mans answer to the Six Million Dollar Man. Was always a bit puzzled what the helicopter blades were for though.

I usually dip hands in water I have heated up, in a cup in the microwave, for about a minute and a half. After about a minute in the hot water they become much more pliable. You can also use a hair dryer on high on them. I also use this method for popping heads on and off modern G.i. Joe figures.

My eldest brother had the Atomic Man, and I quickly grabbed him for my own long after he'd lost interest! One of my favorites, along with the Adventure Team 'Black Adventurer' & the Intruder.

Hey Dave Still finding the odd video of yours which I have not seen. Always a good idea to watch them, as your skills/ideas can be transferred to almost any toy. Take care 🙂

It's been a real trip down memory lane watching your action man series. I used to have quite a few of them when I was a kid, all gone now though. You have inspired me to maybe start collecting action men (maybe one or two) I think it would be a fun hobby & very nostalgic. I never owned an atomic man but I remember having a few catalogues with toys I wanted, & this was one of them, along with steve Austin bionic man. Love your channel. Subscribed.

I had one of these, along with the very odd 'Bullet Man' figure. The fact that 'Atomic Man' only had one 'bionic' leg, always annoyed me. Was he meant to hop really fast? In the end, I just painted the leg a flesh tone, and left it at that. He was eventually swapped for a load of books with a school friend. Who blew him up with fireworks. (Sigh). Nice to see one again!

😂😂😂😂😂 My old Action Men including a massive 12 inch Incredible Hulk were all boxed up and given to a Cub Scout Jumble sale when I was about 14 or 15. I was more into my Guitars and LPs so my Mum got rid of my toys. About a few weeks later, I found all my Action Men lined up in a wood with bullet holes through them. Some one used them for target practice. I was not impressed.

couldn't you have just ironed the decal right on the fabric? or wouldn't that work? l just thought it would have been easier than that extra step? but it still looks really good!

+GALAXIE 67 Not really. The iron on stuff is clear, so you wouldn't get the white needed for the bird.

I've got two atomic men im trying to restore and I have noticed a hole in the top of his head does anyone know what this is for .plus the atomic pacemaker has a button on it does this do anything .if anyone can give me some advise I'd be great full.
@toypolloi
@toypolloi 2 года назад
The hole in the head has a clear bit of plastic that goes to the eye. Shine a light in the top and his eye lights up. The chest should click when you press the button.

@@toypolloi I just got an atomic man but with a standard fixed eyes head, his atomic arm and leg are loose. Not a restring problem more loose by the joint. I’m tempted to try and tap the rivit but don’t want to break him. Any thoughts?
