I think its a diservice to David Tree's excellent work for you guys to spit on it with out taking more time to investigate. The article is a little sparse but if you read the 16 page thread on BFTB you'll get more insight. Chances are you guys don't even know enough about the Action Force line to have an opinion!

If you read the 16 pages you see first hand the mental synapses as these guys that know the toy line are able to tie in the discovery of F-force with other Action Force details which reaffirm it for them.

You can't use an Occidental mindset to pass judgement on these. Our country doesn't have preserve such things. The entire Palitoy inventory was donated to a state museum that contains centuries of historic toys. My interpretation from the read was that as a symbol of national pride all of the Palitoy toys have been preserved in the Queens national archives. Nothing gets thrown away cause the British don't make rubbish!

Of course this photo is certainly the most convincing part:

Don't get me wrong Dave. I totaly buy that this is the genuine article and that F-Force realy was in the works. And I've read the enitre thread over at BFTB all 16 pages of it. But because I belive the information and because I want it to be true, I'm looking very closely for anything that might disprove it. I want this to be an airtight issue, so it can be excepted as fact.

Seriously, this news made my week, hell it mad my month. I really am excited about it and I'm thankful that David Tree and BFTB made this info public, this showes how nice it is when information gets shared, and everybody can get a look at the history of the line.

Thanks everyone! Here's a recap and some direct links.

For many years a single question has haunted the GI Joe collecting community; who is the mystery Flash repaint?

After years of rumour and speculation, BFTB is proud to unveil the truth. He is ACTION FORCE.

Our resident investigator Dave Tree has been doing exhaustive research into the line and along his travels has discovered an unreleased team... Special Weapons Force!
