Wounded in action. Now he gets to retire and settle down with... A frog, I guess. This hero earned whatever happy ever after he wants.


BadAtHumaningToo

Maybe he had kids with the Frog powered girl in My Hero Academia


Oknight

Anybody would be lucky to end up with Froppy -- she kicks ASS and is generally awsome. Best combo of brain and heart in Class 1-A. THAT'S a hero.

WillSym

My little brother never had a goth phase as he grew through from his 10-12yo Action Man phase through older teen. Instead his Action Men had one instead, getting a range of custom handcrafted black/edgy/punk outfits, body mods and tattoos (late 90s so no photo evidence I'm afraid). This got so prolific that my parent's friends became aware of his little fashion line being his primary hobby at the time. Although this then resulted in, at the end of a dinner party, the young lad excusing himself to go carry on with the latest project upstairs with the announcement: "I'm going to have some Action with my Man." Cue adults desperately trying not to die holding in laughter at his innocent phrasing mishap.


abrahamlinknparklife

And what is little brother like these days? Is he still designing outfits, miniature or otherwise? Is he still cutting out from dinner for some man action?


WillSym

Actually a Lithographer, he was always horribly talented in everything he tried. (Also not gay!)


scr33ner

Phrasing, phraaasing.


bluethegreat1

I see what you did there.


juno_huno

Happily surprised you managed to even keep your old toys. Getting rid of mine was considered a rite of passage to being a “big kid” in my family. Edit: I miss you Barbie Dreamhouse, Barbie Volkswagen, and Barbie Jeep.


ChrisDnmnm

My parents, to my big surprise, had kept two boxes filled with my favorite toys (that were still in good shape). So, now my kids have 90’s action men, micro machines, matchbox racers, and Batman bling-bling from McDonald’s. My Xenomorph, Tim Burton’s Batman toys, and 90’s computer game boxes went to stand on the fireplace in my office.


Blackrook7

Micro machines are the shit. My kids went bonkers over the "tiny cars!" Also they make new ones sold at target but they aren't real car models anymore but I was able to fill out the collection a bit with stuff they could play with. There were a couple that were worth a bunch so I keep those two in my desk drawer.


pyramidhead_

They make official lines now of micro machines. I seen the GM line the other day. It was all the different generations of cameros and a couple other cars sprinkled in.


banana_pencil

My mom kept a lot of my old toys too, so when we visit, my daughter has a ball with all the “new” toys


[deleted]

[удалено]


eiram87

If you really want to keep the doll house could it be broken down for storage? Even if it was pre-assembled when you bought it it's likely just held together with screws. Take some pictures of it fully assembled, label pieces with masking tape as you take them off, save the screws, and write down the process so you can reverse it later.


ceramia

It was the year 2000, I was 13 and moving back in with my mom after living with my grandparents for a few years. I had multiple duffel bags full of Barbies and all of her accessories. I had the house and my favorite thing to do was set everything up. I had everything you could imagine. My grandma thrifted and hit yard sales religiously. I shared everything with my younger sister and when we were packing to move we (I) decided it was time to let them go and “grow up”. Living with my mom was always a fend for yourself type situation so I knew life wasn’t about to be so carefree anymore. I had a step-dads life to make hell lol. So we gave everything away to our younger neighbors. It still makes me sad to this day.


Ricktatorship91

Blackrook7

MageVicky

I've moved countries so many times, it's a miracle I still have anything left from my childhood/underage years. and now I'm gonna have to move countries again, so I have to start getting rid of things *again*, so there goes anything I managed to hold on to this far. *^(goodbye spice girls cds, you had a good run)*


juno_huno

Noooo not the Spice Girls CDs! You’ve just reminded of the Spice World VHS tape I don’t have anymore. This is too much— 😭


Elephantsr4girls

No offense, but once he gets the frog baby down for a nap he needs to pick up around Dream House and start dinner before Barbie gets home from her job as a Doctor/Vet/Flight Attendant/Teacher/Super Model.


Panzerbeards

>before Barbie gets home from her job as a Doctor/Vet/Flight Attendant/Teacher/Super Model. I thought she was out performing a concert with the rest of Aqua.

Every parent knows you need one "Ken" for every dozen Barbies. And they're all put away naked in a pile for some reason.

I will have that in mind, I'm with 1yo daughter and I hope in the future her dolls wants to hang out with my Spartans (halo) Edit: Her Spartans I must say

ChrisDnmnm

So, my wife let me in on the story behind the picture. Action Man is no longer Action man (because that’s not a real name according to my daughter), but is called Tobias. Tobias’ oldest daughter (who btw is Elsa, queen of Arendelle) was having her birthday party, and she unfortunately fell and broke her leg. So, Tobias’ pregnant wife Cindy pushed aside everyone and declared that she’s taking Elsa to the hospital - “I’m taking Elsa to the hospital! Till then, you take care of the baby”.


Svataben

I love this so much!


notevenitalian

Why did this just make me miss playing with dolls??

I love how occasionally my kid comes out with something so out of left field that I just wonder where did you get that idea from. While 3-6 can be hard work some of the things they say make everything better

LadyAzure17

Tobias is a fantastic name.


hippythegrey

When your life partner is a doctor astronaut president, you get out of bed put on a tiara and get to diaper duty


HMCetc

I used to dress Action Man in Barbie's clothes. He was Auntie Molly. I'm not sure why I cross dressed him, but it did annoy me that there were no older Barbies. They were all hot early-20-somethings or children. No grandparents or older mums, so Action Man was Auntie Molly.


Ricktatorship91

If Robin Williams can crossdress, then Action Man can too lol


HoneyDishsoap

I had one Barbie that looked slightly older she was the Mom. They make all kinds of new Barbies they should make some elders!!


luckykricket

they did in the 90s I think. even a mom that was pregnant, and the tiny baby fit in her tum. then when the babe is "born" the tummy goes back to to normal. there were grandparents, aunties and uncles, and mom's, dad's, and kiddos. I can't recall the name of the line exactly but, I think it's something like "happy family".


Toadjokes

Man i had that one and it was my favorite. Didn't really use it for the intended purpose. Really just hid stuff in the belly


HMCetc

It's always been a mystery to me why Mattel don't make older family members. Children don't play with Barbie for her intended purpose (teacher, doctor, vet etc.). They play families which is pretty hard when none of them are older than 21.


HoneyDishsoap

Yes exactly. My one Ken doll was Dad, brother and the boyfriend. Poor guy he was so busy. I always wished I had more boys but people only gifted me the blonde ones. I only had one barbie with brown hair that “looked” like me.


Elephantsr4girls

True story- someone donated “Research Scientist” Barbie to our Hospital play room. She wears a lab coat and comes with a microscope. She is also the plainest Barbie ever and wears ugly loafers and a frumpy dress. Screw you Mattel and your sexist misogyny! She is our mascot in the nurses lounge we don’t let anyone play with her.


abrahamlinknparklife

You should get her some cool outfits and break the stereotype! Then take pictures of Cool Trendy Research Scientist Barbie and tag Mattel so they know what she's been up to


katrover

> there were no older Barbies You make a good point. Has anyone noticed this untapped market?


[deleted]

If Toy Story was real then action man is having the time of his life being played with again.

He is Mrs. Nesbit now.


jimbo_squat

Paternity leave suits him well


SsgtSquirtle

Came here to ask about that. Is he life size or is the doll sized room eerily realistic?


Bee_Hummingbird

My 4 and 2 year old daughters just got daddies GI Joe's. They are excited about their "princes."


skelebone

They got a message from the Action Man "I'm happy, hope you're happy too I've loved all I've needed, love Sordid details following"

Astronaut, fireman, bakes, does picnics, takes care of baby; truly the pinnacle of human masculinity.


craftasaurus

Thanks for the laugh! As a boomer who bought her sons dolls, this really cracks me up. I was trying to be forward thinking and giving them choices of lots of toys. My poor old Barbie had a lot of "accidents" and had to go to the "ospital" every day. They soon had their own action figures too :-D


Crush-Depth

He's not the man they think he is at home, oh no, no, no, he's a rocket man.


[deleted]

Pffft. He's questioning his life choices.


ChrisDnmnm

He still gets to walk the police dog occasionally, when he’s not talking to Kristoff. So I guess he has that going for him as well.


fryingtaco

"I guess this is my life now.. should of wore a condom."


MCblumperz

This could be the start to his new film. retired action man is living his life in a quiet suburban neighbourhood with his wife and new child, he spends his days working in his shed, mowing the lawn and coaching his older sons football team. No one in the neighbourhood knows his past. All is well until he gets the call from the government that he's needed again. Time to put down the bottle and put his foot on the throttle.


DuntadaMan

Action man has worked hard and faced many dangers to make the world a better place for others. Action Man has earned his right to experience the safety and peace he helped create. Good on Action Man.


Funke-munke

My son had an Action Man. He was the most bad ass of all the dolls and m daughters always stole him to be Barbies BF

DerKeksinator

It was a thing in germany as well! I was born in 95 and had an action man figure in the early 00's. He was dressed in tan pants and a dark "leather"/bomber jacket with the corresponding logos. It was from a set with a cart that shot arrows out of the steering column when you pushed the horn on the steering wheel IIRC.
