Action Force vehicles included a white and grey Jeep, a white artillery piece and a white missile battery. Both the action figures and the vehicles borrowed elements from the first generation models and the new casts licensed from the "G. I. Joe" toyline from Hasbro. There was also an Action Force fan club promoted both on the figures' packaging and in the "Battle Action Force" comic book. In 1984, additional figures and vehicles were cast, borrowing heavily from the G.I. Joe and Cobra ranges. During this time, the Action Force toyline branched out into video games, audio stories on cassette tapes, stationery,
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. Talking Commander figures often have the soft vinyl painted head also used for talking G.I. Joe figures. Action Man figures of the seventies tend to have a pinker colouration than G.I. Joe.; the feet are of the smaller original G.I. Joe
