The Bulletman, the Human Bullet action figure circa 1977. This is the British version of the G.I. Joe character, released two years after he originally appeared in the USA, and one year after Hasbro ended its original G.I. Joe line.
Palitoy was a British toy company (a subsidiary of General Mills) that licensed G.I. Joe from Hasbro for release in the United Kingdom. Palitoy rebranded the action figure line as Action Man, as G.I. Joe was a distinctly American term.
Palitoy's Action Man line for the most part originally just consisted of repackaged G.Joe figures and accessories. Around 1970 Palitoy began creating its own accessories with British themes, to distinguish Action Man from G.I. Joe.
Palitoy was the company that first introduced the flocked hair and rubber gripping hands to its Action Man figures. Hasbro liked these features so much that they added them to G.I. Joe as "life like" hair (it looked and felt like indoor/outdoor carpet) and "kung fu grip."

There is the trope of adding a young kid to a sitcom to boost viewership; this should forever be known as Bulletdogging.
