European Action Force - Z Force Rapid Fire Motorcycle (with Quarrel)

In the early 1980s, the European toy company Palitoy released a line of 3 3/4" military toys called Action Force. While most of the line was entirely original and similar to Kenner's Star Wars toys in articulation, many early G.I.Joe figures and vehicles were recolored, renamed, and incorporated into the Action Force line. Action Force toys were sold in most parts of Western Europe - including the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, West Germany, Italy, and Greece.

Pictured above is the Z Force Rapid Fire Motorcycle. It's a repaint of the American Rapid Fire Motorcycle (RAM). The Action Force version is in green and black - as opposed to the drab green American version. The set included the exclusive figure Quarrel.
