In the midst of identifying a ton of toys - these guys have left me stumped.

 

The wrestler guys are rubbery, bendable plastic - a bit bigger than M.U.S.C.L.E. men. No markings. 

 

I know someone on here will be able to tell me what the red robot is...

 

And the other two are just naive hopefuls - I have no idea what the navy general looking fellow is (navy blue plastic, no markings, painted details - although much of it has come off). and the barrel has no markers on it so figured I'd let the internet at it.

 

Thanks in advance. Have spent too long trying to figure out what they are when I am sure a few of you just know.

The red robot is an Arco Rogun

Thank you kindly dixiebull. Will bag and label him right away so I don't forget.

Dunno about the fleshy wrestlers, but I like them.  I had a few years back, one looked like he was in a diving position.

 

If that middle one is supposed to represent Andre, I'd like it, if it's for trade/sale?

[1bjkyrc976]

@TinyPink - He might be - I haven't a clue. I have no real attachment to him. At this stage it is just curiosity (and sheer frustration) trying to find out where he came from and how he ended up in my childhood box of toys. I don't recall him at all. 

 

He's a bit worse for wear but I included another photo in the original post of his face. Hopefully someone can clue me in as I would just like to know. He is such a unique looking figure but there are no markings on him to make the job easier.

Ah, that guy looks like a generic plastic Calvary soldier, circa 50s-70s.   I was meaning the fleshy dude, lower center...he seems to have Andre's 70s hairstyle.

I have the one in the diving position! You can have it if you want...I can put it in our trade.

Whoops! My bad! I'll upload a closer pic of them. They are great figures. Just have exhausted all the Google options my brain can think of.

I'd love a close up, thank you.   I really don't know what they are.  Then again, there were so many nameless, generic little buggers floating around in the 80s.

 

Ah, seems like the guy on the far left might be Andre.  The one in the middle is neat, as well.   Please, when/if you want to part with these, I'll get a little box prepped for you.

Wrestlers are "USA Wrestling Team", by Ja-Ru.

 

There is a thread about them here somewhere.

[1bjkyrc976]

@Rubberhammer - thank you. I'll check those out and see what information I can find on them. 

@TinyPink - they aren't the best figures as the plastic pouring into the molds seems pretty bad (lots of lines on their backs) - but as of now, unless the fiance wants them, I don't imagine they'll be in our vast keep pile. Our toy room is over full - and we don't even have kids. I need to go through the buckets in there again and liquidate some more... You know - to make room for more neat things.

Sounds good.  No worries on their crappy quality, this is part of what I enjoy about them.  Send me a list of what you two collect, and I'll get a box together for you.  

Do you prefer to choose your own goodies or would you rather get a surprise box?  

[Wibble]

I had a buttload of those weird robots (had forgotten about them until now) I feel a nostalgic google sesh coming on!
