GERMAN ACTION FORCE

ACTION FORCE 1985 (THIRD SERIES)

DEEP SIX

Deep Six

Flying Submarine Pilot.

Birthplace: Cork, Eire.

A solitary figure by nature. Deep Six is happiest when  at the bottom pf the ocean-where the light doesn’t reach you and the water pressure can crush you like an eggshell. Prior to joining Action Force, Deep Six had 10 years diving experience on North Sea oil rigs.

Deep Six came boxed, exclusively with the Flying Submarine vehicle. Deep Six only had articulation in his arms and was the most poorly articulated figure in this series. He was able to sit in the Flying Submarine and any other figure would have too much space in the cockpit.

He came with bellows and a one way valve. This would make him rise or sink in water depending on the one way valve position.

Ready for battle!

Body Mould

Deep Six was in a heavy deep sea diver suit. At the top of the suit was a clear plastic glass helmet and his head could be seen through it. On his right chest he has moulds of air pipes that go over his right shoulder. On his back he has a connector pin that the clear tube could connect to so that air could go in or out. 

He was designed to fit inside the Flying Submarine vehicle. 

 

ACCESSORIES

Deep Six came with bellows that could make him rise and lower in water. The bellows consisted of a bellow part, connector part, one way valve, clear tubing and some string. The tubing connected to the back of Deep Six.
