First broadcast in 1995, this Action Man series is an American-Canadian animated/live-action children’s television series created by DIC Productions, L.P. and Bohbot Entertainment, based on the Hasbro toy line of the same name. This series ran until 1996 with a total of 26 episodes, and featured live-action segments before and after the main episodes, with actor Mark Griffin portraying Action Man. These segments were filmed at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida. In retirement since the 80s, this animated series breathed new life into a fresh-faced Action Man, spawning hundreds of toys and collectibles, another Action Man TV series released in 2000, a handful of movies and added another 15 years of adventures to Action Man – the Greatest Hero of them all!
For nearly three decades, the Action Man animated series remained locked in low-resolution obscurity—until now. In 2023, I took it upon myself to change that. My goal? To deliver the definitive way to experience the series, preserving its legacy for both longtime fans and a new generation.
Using advanced AI upscaling, I meticulously transformed the series into stunning 4K resolution, encoded at a crisp 60mbps in the cutting-edge H.265 HEVC format. This restoration brings the series to life like never before.
This ultimate restoration was crafted from the only DVD releases available containing all the episodes, breathing new life into every action-packed animation frame—bringing out sharper details, richer colors, and a renewed vibrancy that makes the series feel alive again with a visual quality it always deserved. Every episode has been carefully enhanced with the goal of staying true to its original essence while presenting it in the best possible quality.
This is more than just an upscale; it’s a passion project fueled by a deep love for the Action Man Universe, and a heartfelt effort to preserve a piece of animation history. My hope is that it rekindles fond memories, transports you back to those childhood adventures, and allows you to experience the series in a way that feels both familiar and brand new.
And best of all? All 26 episodes are available to watch for free on YouTube.
So step back into the adventure, relive the excitement, and witness Action Man like you’ve never seen before. This isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a next-level revival!
