Action Man (1993–2006 toyline) saw Hasbro release a comic book showing off some upcoming toy lines that Hasbro have been well known for in the past including the new "The Action Man". It is currently unknown when these toys will be released. IDW are currently set to begin publishing a new series of Action Man comic books, simply titled "Action Man", in June 2016 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original Palitoy action figure. As with the original Action Man releases of 1966, the first re-releases of Action Man in the 90s were simply re-packaged Joes; Duke, Cobra Commander, Stalker and Snake Eyes;
Action Man concept, and the comic's introduction specifically noted that NONE of the concepts within the book were guaranteed to ever see production or release. The original 1964 Action Man had a moulded vinyl painted head (which sometimes shrank and became harder, as with Hasbro's figures), with a livid scar on the cheek registered as a trademark, identical to G.I.

Joe.; the feet are of the smaller original G.I. Joe
