I remember this show being apart of the Jetix UK run and I did't realise it was apart of the Action Man toy line until I saw a toy advert on it.
My initial reaction seeing this show was very amazed of it's story and action at the time, even now despite it's flaws like repeating the same animations in some of the scenes definitely has it's charm and despite being slightly aged, it still has it's beauty in the art department.
The story definitely was very engaging going from Axel's revenge arc, to fighting Lee's mutants and fighting Kwan of Serphant's Tale towards the end.
For the characters, for some odd reason I like Hawk when I was young (because of the colour blue) but now having watched the show, Axel was the most badass character at the time for obvious reason because he was based on Action Man, plus James Arnold Tyler does a phenomenal job at voicing the character. Other characters in the team had cool and funny moments too especially Shark and were very well remembered as well as the villains.
Overall, this show deserves to be right up there with Teen Titans, Xiaolin Showdown, TMNT and Jackie Chan Adventures. Compared to other Action Man shows in the past, this one definitely took a step further and had a lot going on and I can tell season 3 was going to be planned before cancellation. You can't get shows like these nowadays, 'sigh'.
