[QUOTE="spoons, post: 480169, member: 33"] The world and the UK was really hit by the 1979 oil crisis so plastic became very expensive. Palitoy made many cost cutting changes for that reason with the land of the jawas and the death star being evidence of a historic event. Action Man was also redesigned at this time and made with a thinner plastic. I'd guess with historically cheaper oil prices in the US they were less inclined to scrimp on the toys Great comparison piece Jeremy! [/QUOTE]
