Action Man Hovercraft Hydro Jet
VEHICLE FEATURES: The Hovercraft is a brightly colored combination of  a black outer section which is what a traditional hovercraft would look like, and a light blue section where the figure sits. This Hovercraft is for one 12 inch action figure, and it is dynamic, floats, and also looks like a bumper car!
The HYDRO JET section is a snap-on, snap-off piece which doubles as the motors for the Hovercraft. If you take it off the Hovercraft, the action figure (the model for these photos (Frenchie) is an Ultimate Soldier/12st Century Toys' Misfit body with a fuzzy-haired bearded head) can strap in at the waist and fly around with the Hydro Jet. But the Hovercraft is more fun! Every manufacturer has produced one of those back-pack Jets; but how many Hovercrafts?? The Hovercraft also floats and has a little steering handle/exhaust pipe in the back to help you steer it around the pool, tub, or local beach! This is the perfect companion fo the Jungle Explorer vehicle also by Action Man!
Price: About $24.99 plus shipping from Europe. This is not available in the USA retail stores. I received one in a trade from my great friend, Jonathan Smith; a Great GI Joe & Action Man trader who is also occasionally on e-bay with items he has for sale.
Overall: The Hovercraft is WAY COOL! It is colorful, fun, it floats, Frenchie likes it, and did I mention it shoots those orange propellers as projectiles??
GRADE: A+                      
Packaging: Like most Action Man boxes, the front of the box is a painting of the item in an action scene, and the back of the box is a colorful photo of the Hovercraft in a diorama setting, with many illustrated explanation boxes. Action Man usually provides a lot of "How-To" information and "Adventure Plans." In fact, you can cut out at least one map from the box, and it also includes Action Man "Mission" cards that describe the Hovercraft and its features. Action Man is very kid-oriented and a lot of fun for collectors too!
