ACTION FORCE 1982 (FIRST SERIES)
AUSTRALIAN JUNGLE FIGHTER
Australian Jungle Fighter
The Australian Jungle Fighter is an excellent figure who came with three accessories. He came with a jungle hat, brown machete and blue Thompson machine gun.
The hat and machete are very small and many have been lost over the years. The hat is made of a rubbery substance and can become quite brittle over time.
The Australian Jungle Fighter figure was based on the original Action Man Australian Jungle Fighter uniform. He was released as part of the first twelve figures in the early summer of 1982.
