Equipment Manual

Electronic Command Centre Description:

The Action Man Electronic Command Centre of 1980 was a wonderful accessory for Action Man in a year where three electronic products were also introduced by Palitoy. The Action Man Electronic Command Centre was battery operated and featured action and battle sounds. The Action Man bunker included everything that the Eagle Eye Action Man would need for an overnight stay and total defense of his Command Centre.

Notes:

The Electronic Command Centre came accessorised with a great number of weapons and essentials. It featured the same kind of equipment grouping approach as the Special Operations Kit. No accessory was unique to this set, but the main turquoise metallic artillery gun is only in this set, and its swivel pin and barrel holder is very brittle and breaks very easily. The radar dish also is hard to find and is prone to being damaged because of its position on the top. The card scenery panel is often play-worn or missing.
