The Story of Action Man ( a film ) - Century Theatre - Coalville
From realistic hair to gripping hands and eagle eyes Action Man's evolution has ingrained popular culture from the 1960's through the 1970's all the way to the present day with rare items being auctioned for thousands of pounds.
Conceived and produced at Palitoy in Coalville were you, or a member of your family, involved in the development of this iconic British toy ? Are you a collector or even somebody that remembers the thrill of waking up on Christmas morning to find Action Man at the end of your bed ?
Join us at Snibston's Century Theatre in Coalville for documentary film-maker Tony Roberts' "Story of Action Man" as he explains how "a rugged doll for boys" became a British phenomenon; how he got his realistic hair from somebody watching a TV programme; what inspired his gripping hands and much more. Featuring exclusive interviews with Action Man's original creators of a toy that revolutionised the toy market back in 1966 ( 50 years ago next year ).
Starts at 2:00pm at The Century Theatre.. Tickets available from http://www.centurytheatre.co.uk or telephone 01530 278444
