Thinking of making a T-shirt

Had a day off ill so had a play around for a possible T-shirt front that maintains dignity whilst being abit of fun!

Says 'Action Man realised that just good looks, muscles and sophistication were not enough. Without the kilt he would never have found Paradise.

Kilt equals paradise, I go along with that.

Now that's a fun one! Seems a bit warm for the tropics, tho'.

It would have to be G.I. Joe on this side of The Pond.

Action Man is just the newest version of the old G.I. Joe. Bear in mind they haven't made the 12" G.I. Joes since the 70's.

As far as I know, we don't have Action Man in the U.S. I didn't think that he might be available in Canada.

Here's what I found. Apparently the original Action Man was a Uk version of G.I. Joe made from 1966 to 1984. Action Man was than relaunched in 1996 (this is the one I remember getting my nephew) in the US based on a TV show and Video Game.

You lot really are an amazing bunch! Thanks for the history.

- mind, with plastic shorts, his kilt weight would be the least of his problems in the tropics
