Star Wars Question

jonifen · 18-09-2008, 00:24

Hi,

I was going through some old stuff I had as a kid, and found a Millenium Falcon which was passed onto me by someone which I barely played with.

I'm not a Star Wars fan in the slightest (apart from Lego Star Wars on the Wii

) so I'm having a bit of trouble finding out who this character is. So does anyone have any ideas? I'm struggling to find anything on Google and am starting to think it was just a random model which was thrown in the box by who originally owned it.

*edit* Picture attached, apologies for quality, taken on the mobile phone

Thanks in advance,
Jon

I think it's just some random figure thrown in the box, as you were suspecting.

Doesn't look like a Star Wars figure to me.

Isn't there any markings/print on it?

that's not a Star Wars figure, it looks like it's probably Action Force

the skull and cross bones mean she's probably Cobra, the bad guys, so he might be from GI Joe, but it's more or less the same.

i think that's him in the picture

The Black Major, I remember playing with those figures when I was a kid

That's a character from the 'Enemy' range of Action Force figures c.1983. Th skull and crossbones is the main ident.

Oops. Didn't see the post above.

Quote:

The biography from the original packaging describes Black Major as one of the best trained commandos before capture by Baron Ironblood. Sophisticated brainwashing turned him into a dedicated and ruthless follower leaving him " Totally emotionless, carrying out Baron Ironblood's orders without question".

So maybe it was Action Man turned bad!

Just goes to show how little I know of Star Wars... but he does look like the guy in Lego Star Wars - I think this was what made me think it was a Star Wars character more than anything!

Thanks for the replies everyone

lol, thanks guys, amazing what things you remember from childhoold, but when the boss asks you if you've done that thing you were supposed to do you can't remember anything about it
