Hi there and welcome to Ado's Blog. I am obsessed with nostalgia, especially 1960s & 1970s nostalgia and I enjoy nothing more than reflecting on days and times that have sadly long since gone! So join me, as I take a nostalgic gander down Memory Lane and celebrate all things past and occasional present, both good and bad!

Action Man Star Cards
The Action Man Star Cards were given away as an incentive to buy more Action Man goods, most packaging carried one or more star icon tokens, the number depending on the relative value of the purchase. Different 'prizes' were available at different times and the famous Royal Canadian Mounted Police 'Mounty' uniform was always a popular choice. Other paperwork is also shown here and will be built into a definative collection of images.
