Palitoy Action Man Long Range Desert Group Code 3 Reproduction Box

“Across hundreds of miles of unforgiving desert… only the toughest survived.”

Celebrate one of the most legendary military units of the Second World War with this Palitoy Action Man Long Range Desert Group Code 3 Reproduction Box. Inspired by the classic Palitoy Action Man packaging of the 1970s, this custom-designed Code 3 box imagines how Britain’s favourite action figure might have been presented had the famous Long Range Desert Group been released in the traditional Action Man figure box format.

The Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was formed in 1940 to carry out some of the most daring reconnaissance missions of the Second World War. Operating deep behind enemy lines across the vast deserts of North Africa, these elite soldiers navigated by the stars, travelled hundreds of miles without support and gathered vital intelligence while surviving some of the harshest conditions on Earth. Their courage, endurance and resourcefulness earned them a place amongst Britain’s most respected special forces units and helped pave the way for the newly formed SAS.

Palitoy honoured these remarkable soldiers with the Action Man Long Range Desert Group outfit during the final years of the classic Action Man range. Although originally released in the later locker-style packaging, this Code 3 reproduction box has been specially created in the style of the iconic Palitoy figure boxes that many collectors remember from the golden age of Action Man.
