Vintage Palitoy Action Man Training Tower with Escape Slide and Crane
This lot is a vintage Action Man Training Tower with Escape Slide and Crane playset, produced by Palitoy and supplied in its original illustrated box. The packaging is branded Action Man and identifies the set as a Training Tower with Escape Slide and Crane, with the name of the manufacturer shown on the box.
The set is built around a tall red lattice tower, with the box artwork depicting a figure climbing its ladder and another descending on a crane-mounted line. The contents listed on the box include a training tower, a slide, a rope ladder, barbed wire, mess kit, water bottle, camp stove and a knife, fork and spoon. The Action Man figure is not included in this lot. The set will appeal to collectors of 1970s and 1980s British military-themed toys and to enthusiasts of Palitoy’s Action Man range.
Condition and Collector Interest
The box shows general age-related wear, including creasing, surface marks and damage to the flaps and corners. The box appears to contain grey plastic components, orange lattice tower sections, a coiled rope and a bundle of wire, though the completeness of the contents has not been confirmed and buyers should review the description carefully before bidding. Items of this kind are sought after as originals because boxed accessories of this type are less commonly found with their packaging. The set may interest collectors seeking an Action Man display piece, a project for restoration, or a nostalgic example of the Palitoy range.
