Trivia / Action Man (1995)

Go To

  • Screwed by the Network: The series never aired on terrestrial UK television (the UK being the largest sales for the toyline) due to laws over toy advertisements (toys may be made from existing shows, but not the other way round). However, the series did air on Satelite and Cable Television on Sky One, though.
  • What Could Have Been: The production bible for the series (with information available in this archived forum post) indicates some plotlines that were intended to happen had the series lasted beyond one season.
    • The Action Force would've disbanded with Action Man operating on his own before a new Action Force would be formed.
    • A crossover with G.I. Joe was planned where Action Man would help the Night Force take down a rogue agent who defected to Cobra.
    • Action Man would've befriended a retired agent named Sir Arthur Strong, who would claim to have worked with Action Man's family and help him in his continued quest to recover his lost memories.
