Eagle, son of a Count, was educated at Eton, Cambridge and Sandhurst, where he won the Sword of Honour. After a brilliant career with the Police, he joined SATT out of conviction. He is familiar with the tactics of the Terror Gang, and with their weapons. Eagle inspires unquestioning loyalty in his men and is every inch a Count. This commits him to give his all for the good of mankind.

Adler was the German variant of the SAS Squad Leader. He came with a missile launcher, black grapple hook and a rope.

In 1983 Germany released their versions of Action Force as Anti-Terror Teams and Terror Teams. In Germany the logos on the figures were all changed and instead of replica guns they had weapons that looked less-real! The German toy boxes were all cardboard and did not have plastic windows like in other countries.

Please note images below are of the first series SAS figure.
