“Underwater Defender!”
This Scuba Patrol Action Man captures the bold, colourful style of the later Action Man releases! Dressed in a striking orange diving suit with a bright blue chest panel, this figure stands out in any collection. The suit features lots of cool details like black boots, grey trim, and a built-in utility belt. His face has the classic Action Man stern expression, ready to take on underwater threats with his missile launcher accessory.
The packaging includes cool comic-style art panels showing the Scuba Patrol Action Man in action underwater, fighting off enemies and using his diving skills. The “Alert” badge on the card highlights the special features, and the overall orange colour scheme of the packaging makes this a really eye-catching display piece. As one of the later Action Man releases before the line ended, this figure represents an important part of the brand’s history and the more sci-fi direction it took in its final years.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: “Is this part of the classic Action Man line or the reboot?”
A: This figure is from the later Action Man reboot period. By 2008, Hasbro had moved Action Man into a more sci-fi direction with brighter colours and more fantasy elements compared to the military and adventure themes of the classic era. - Q: “Does the missile launcher actually fire?”
A: Yes! One of the key play features of this figure is the working missile launcher. According to the packaging, it can fire plastic projectiles. However, as this is a sealed collectible, we don’t recommend opening it to test this feature. - Q: “Can the dive mask be removed from the figure?”
A: The dive mask appears to be a separate accessory that can be removed and placed on the figure’s face. It’s designed to fit over Action Man’s head and includes clear orange goggles. - Q: “How does this compare to the older Action Man Swimmer Scuba from the 90s?”
A: This 2008 version is quite different from the 90s Swimmer Scuba figure. The older version had a black wetsuit with a more realistic design, while this later version features a bright orange and blue sci-fi style suit. This reflects how the Action Man line evolved from military realism to more fantasy-based adventures in its later years.
