ACTION FORCE 1985 (THIRD SERIES)
TON-UP
Ton-Up
Birthplace: Malmo, Sweden.
Formerly a getaway driver with a gang of bank robbers. Ton-Up reformed his character to combat the evil Cobra Commander, following the murder of his brother by Cobra Troopers. He is now one of Action Force’s most proficient drivers of tracked vehicles. Ton-Up lives his life at high-speed and yet always appears to be in control.
Ton Up came boxed exclusively with the Wolverine version 2 vehicle. He came with a helmet and some came with helmet and a visor.
Ton Up looks very similar to the G.I. Joe figure Rock N’ Roll but there are differences. Ton Up has green metal shoulder rivets and his hair is more of a mustard coloured blonde. Rock N’ Roll on the other hand has silver shoulder rivots and a more standard yellow blonde hair. The difference in hair colour is hard to see unless you have them side by side.
