'''Photo Mission Action Man''' is a toy action figurine which includes a working film camera. This is is a simple, non-adjustable camera for [[110 film]], concealed within Action Man's torso. Action Man's shoulder camera is a dummy, although it does function as a rudimentary viewfinder. On his back are found the shutter release, a window for viewing the frame number, and a small thumbwheel to advance the film.

In the 1960s, British company Palitoy licensed the rights to "GI Joe" (created by the US toymaker Hasbro), and released a series of Action Man figurines and accessories <ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Man Action Man—Original Series] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia]</ref>. Beginning in 1993, Hasbro launched a new Action Man series; and Photo Mission Action Man appeared in 1998<ref name= "doss">[https://www.action-man-dossier.co.uk/action-man-photo-mission/ Action Man Photo Mission] at [https://www.action-man-dossier.co.uk/ Action Man Dossier]</ref>. Along with boots, sunglasses, and a pistol, Action Man came boxed with a roll of color 110 film<ref name= "doss"/>, which some [[Pentax Auto 110]] owners might like to fight him over.
