British Battle Action Force Holiday Special 1986

Before the European toy company Palitoy completely incorporated G.I.Joe figures, vehicles, and characters into their storylines, the Action Force line was its own, completely separate entity - with it's own heroes and villains.

Pictured above is the Battle Action Force Holiday Special from 1986. Battle Action Force was the comic book that followed the adventures of the Action Force team. In 1986, Palitoy began simply re-issuing Hasbro G.I.Joe toys as Action Force toys, the comic books introduced the Cobra enemy and the storylines more closely resembled U.S. storylines.
