A limited edition Action Man figure of England and West Ham star Bobby Moore has been launched.
It is part of a range of collectors editions being released by Art + Science International – under licence from Hasbro – to celebrate Action Man’s 50th anniversary.
1,966 Bobby Moore figures have been launched, also celebrating the 50th anniversary of England’s 4-2 victory over West Germany at Wembley. It comes in a gift box with a traditional Action Man dog tag and a certificate of authenticity and is priced at £59.95.
Ten per cent from each figure sold will go to the Bobby Moore Fund, which supports Cancer Research UK’s work to beat bowel cancer.
Peter Rooke, md of Art + Science International, told The Evening Standard: “We absolutely love the Bobby Moore Action Man and are proud to have created a figure of one of the nation’s finest and most respected sportsmen.
“We hope that fans of Bobby will agree it’s a fantastic way to remember and celebrate his life, all whilst supporting the Bobby Moore Fund and Cancer Research UK’s pioneering research.”
