Great catalog photos on Plaid Stallions.
Years ago, I snagged a small lot of loose figures. Definitely Vietnam Era figures in my opinion. Oh yeah, along with the cool rubble base, there is also a lever that connects to a rod that goes into the soldier's rear (ouch) to make him move and make shooting sounds.
He looks like he is shooting a grease gun.
Flamethrower - not sure how to shoot any weapon sitting like that.
M60 Machine Gunner
Hand Grenade thrower.
I did remember they had Black soldiers as well. Cool!
Bazooka Soldier
Seated machine gunner. Again, hard to shoot this way.
These are great! Before my time but still a must have if you collect military figures. My sister once sent me an ebay listing of these thinking i would know what they were but i was at a complete loss.
ReplyDeleteYeah - took me forever to find out the real name and manufacturer.
DeleteOnce upon a time they made some Sgt. Rock branded soldiers... I always wanted to get some of them...
ReplyDeleteI know the set you are talking about. Those were cool.
DeleteThey were from Remco. Think I had one of the "Bad Guys" as a kid. They were about the same size as GI Joe.
DeleteI had something like this as a kid but I want to say it had a wind-up feature instead of the lever.
ReplyDeleteCurious as to what those may have been.
