Summary
A 1970s or 1980s jointed plastic Action Man doll with clothes. The doll has a jointed neck, arms, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees and ankles. It is made from flesh-coloured plastic and has light brown fabric hair on the head. The hands are made from pliable plastic so that they can hold things. It is dressed in removable clothing: a black plastic beret, a navy cotton jumpsuit with orange stripes down the length of the body and arms, which fastens at the front with a metal zip running from the crotch to the neck, and a pair of light orange plastic moulded ankle boots with moulded lace detailing. At the back of the head is a small black switch which operates eye movement.
