The early Action Man figures came with a plastic head and painted on eyes; along with the early version of the gripping hands which perished very easily compared to later gripping hands due to them hardening and falling off. In 1970; the figures were given flock hair, which was much more realistic than the painted on hair; this period also introduced Action Man figures with beards.
The 1970's era also introduced the famous eagle eyes gimmick that defined the classic Action Man toys; by using a small lever on the back of the figure's head, the eyes on Action Man would move left and right; this helped to give them more articulation alongside the typical articulation. The last alteration made to Action Man was the inclusion of a dynamic body and a newer version of the gripping hands; which in my opinion, made the figure look much nicer.
So, this was a quick look at all the different body types used for Action Man from 1966 to 1984! Stay tuned for more coming up soon and if you would like to find out more, check out the timeline of Action Man body types from the Unofficial Action Man HQ website!
