An amazingly talented and intelligent designer, photographer, drummer, in a short time Steve lit our hobby up with his limitless enthusiasm and imagination, giving us iconic images through Toywithit - like ones we imagined for ourselves when life was simpler and childhoods were surrounded with toys, fun and play.

Dr. X captured and physically tested Alex Mann repeatedly, as well as his longtime rival & best friend Brandon Caine.

Dr. X's nanotech trilobites appeared to gain collective intelligence and rebel against him, but this was actually Brandon Caine's uploaded mind punishing Dr. X.

Only in the late 60s did Palitoy produce a range of uniforms, to be bought as accessories, of different WWII armies. There was a British rival, made by Pedigree and called Tommy Gunn, but he was never as successful as Action Man, and didn't have such a big range of accessories.
