Bradgate

Bradgate took the Spanish "Madel Man" doll and marketed him in the UK under the name "Little Big Man" as a 7" version of their popular "Action Man" line. He came in a windows box (singly or with an accessory set) and surprisingly was well articulated. The figure came in a brown or blonde hair color and was usually dressed in an army style outfit with helmet and walkie talkie. His boots are directly attached to the legs (no feet) with pegs. The bad thing about them is the plastic for the accessories gets brittle and bends and snaps. The accessory sets came on both blue and red cards. The neat thing is how the cards may have the same names but different accessories in the sets. Bradgate was a division of Palitoy and the Little Big Man sets are even found in the 1975 Palitoy Catalog. These are quite difficult to find, especially in good condition. Thanks fto Bill Frost for some of these images.
