Oh - so it's alright for you and your "Friday five" this and your "top five" that then Biggleswade boy, but I'm not allowed to get in on the act... I see... I know my place then...
Not strictly Action Man as it was from the "Six Million Dollar Man" collection, but I had a thing called "Maskatron" which was a cyborg who was supposed to be an arch enemy of Steve Austin. He had interchangeable masks so he could look like Steve, Oscar Goldman or himself. Loved it, but never met anyone else who had it or is even aware of it. Never played with it again after witnessing my big sister marrying him off to her Sindy doll. I was distraught.
If this thread WAS about Action Man, then I'll offer this. About 10 years ago I paid £50 for an original Action Man to sit on my bookshelf. One day my son pulled its head off. I went mental. My missus burst in and said, 'What's happened? What's going on?' I said, 'It's Sam. He's pulled the head off my Action Man.' Needless to say she walked out shaking her head in disgust.
I have mine stored in the loft, but this is only after the original eagle eyed action man that was a SAS solider, had got his head coloured in with permanent red pen and he had five bullet holes in his head

I also have no idea what the original thread was about but with regard to Action Man.
When my son was aged four he was given a dozen action men. I left him to play with them only to find fifteen minutes later that they hadn't been set up to fight an epic battle for the sofa, instead they had all been stripped naked and a homoerotic orgy was taking place on the front room floor. And people worry about young boys playing with dolls

I had Maskatron and the bionic man with the smelly roll-up rubber bits to reveal his bionics. I always wanted the proper Oscar Goldman though as he came with some kind of super-spy briefcase thing but alas I'm never to know what was in it.....
Out of the goodness of my heart, I once gave a primary school mate, who didn't have very much, my Planet Of The Apes astronaut figure. The bastard immediately set fire to it.
