In no small way due to our discussions on the BB last week I expect: From today's Indo "2. ACTION MAN: It is being hailed as the biggest comeback since Mohammed Ali's `rumble in the jungle'. After decades in the doldrums and a temporary retirement, the gun-toting superhero has amazed toy retailers by blasting himself to the top of the doll chart.
Action Man now has an impressive arsenal of weaponry that would be the envy of Saddam Hussein. Some observers believe the toy has been helped by wars in the Balkans. This year his most popular accessory is the Silver Speed Car with secret twin missile launcher under the bonnet. The car is a hot seller at £31.99."
