Totally unmarked, but it's got to be John
Rambo! Frown . . . check, clenched-fists . . . check, sleeveless-vest . . .
check, knotted-bandana . . . check, M60 ammo-belt . . . check, bad-attitude . .
. err . . . he lives in the controlled environment of a carded, self-seal bag,
so I don't think so! Also Mattel (see below) had the licence at one point, through Arcotoys? A search was not helpful - we need more quality Bloggers!
I know - that was Arnie', but either of
them could have been parachuted into each-other's 'action movies' without much
change! Steve Wright in the Afternoon,
best thing that ever happened to popular-radio - Wharkkwharkkwharkk . . .
"Get the geese off!" I'm
wondering if he may be from a short-lived board-game, given that he turned-up
on his own and I've seen or found no others?
Battlestar
Galactica was a lower-budget, rush-job designed to
cash-in on the Star Wars phenomena
back in the late 1970's, which was better than it might have been and Mattel grabbed a licence, issuing a
couple of light-and-sound space-fighter toys each of which had a little pilot
figure.
The figures are of a mini-action figure
design, but come in at around the 50mm mark. Four points of articulation (hips -
riveted loose through the groin; shoulders - sealed into the torso-halves) and are
very hard to keep standing-up, they really only had to sit in their cockpits or
die spectacularly as the owners narrative directed! The grey Cylon Warrior
seems rarer than the earth-bound human. Note - the arms and legs are the same
mouldings on both figures!
