Action Man is a 2000 CGI animated TV series based on the toy line of the same name. [1] Though unrelated to the 1995 version, it was the first Action Man series to be made in CGI. In this series, Alexander "Alex" Mann is an extreme sports athlete known as "Action Man" and is a member of Team Xtreme. The show's theme song "Amp it up Action Man" was written and performed by Saban Entertainment's Paul Gordon. Internationally, we reach as far as Hong Kong ( Police Story, Hard-Boiled), Australia ( The Road Warrior), England ( Kingsman: The Secret Service), France ( La Femme Nikita), Indonesia ( The Raid: Redemption), Korea ( The Villainess), and beyond. He isn't wearing a British uniform. The basic 60s Action Man came with a very basic American GI uniform, and that's what this one is wearing, without his cap. The basic Action Man, without optional accessories, didn't even have a helmet. All the uniforms were American, and your basic Action Man came as Army, Navy or Air Force, but all were American uniforms. And all the accessories were American too. Only in the late 60s did Palitoy produce a range of uniforms, to be bought as accessories, of different WWII armies. There was a British rival, made by Pedigree and called Tommy Gunn, but he was never as successful as Action Man, and didn't have such a big range of accessories.

Smartwatches aren’t a passing fad, and while they’re unlikely to replace meticulously made timepieces worn by Swiss watch purists, even the luxury brands have embraced tech in recent years, replacing precise mechanical gears and springs with touchscreens and computing power.
