Tom Stone Trivia

I think they are referring to the uniform & box art here. The figure is after all is "the black adventurer" which was released in the US in 1970, long before the film.

A few more snippets of information like that and we could put together a VAM trivial pursuit game
 
TS is my era, but I don't recall him at all.  Why the Para badge with a green beret?

 Great idea Mat!

Well thats what he wore in the film. Perhaps he had passed the AACC & also a Para? 

hi tom stone is differnt to a US joe the cots arm kits are made for the A team muscle joes US you have to modify the inside of toms chest next to arm sockets 

without unpacking my Tom Stone or any muscle Joes for a refresher reference I hadnt thought there was a difference in design Shaz-ones ?????

show some pics of what you are refering to.

Well I restrung Tom Stone the same as an AT muscle figure I had done previously, so I'm confused as bar colour they seemed to me identical!

sounds like she's trippin to me.

Another bit of trivia the name Tom Stone appears to have been taken from the Action Team range in Germany where all the figures had names, the bearded white figure was called "Hard Rock", the unbearded white figure was "John Steel" and "Tom Stone" was the same as he was in the Action Man Team.
