A haul of rare Action Man and Star Wars toys has fetched more than £150,000 at auction.

Among them was an Action Man judo kit, believed to be one of only two in such pristine condition, which fetched £5,400.

It belonged to 88-year-old Doug Carpenter, a former salesman for toy firm Palitoy, who had kept scores of boxes in his loft for decades.

The items went under the hammer at Vectis Auctions in Thornaby, Teesside.
