Hey folks. I've had these little guys for a while now and remember them vaguely from the late 1980s. The only markings I can discern is the word "China" on their backs (I know, real helpful, right?). I seem to recall them being packaged in sets and billed as paratroopers, complete with little parachutes and everything. I just can't seem to find anything online i.e. the search terms I can come up with are too broad. And if indeed they are all paratroopers, how cool/bizarre is it that the guy in scuba gear is also a paratrooper? Any help would put my OCD mind at great peace. Cheers

they look like military muscle men to me, but i am not too familiar with them so i could be wrong. That is what they look like to me though.

Yep, most of us should be somewhat familiar with them, since they constantly pop up in our regular muscle searches.

I have a guy with light blue body suite, brown skull cap.

Then an African American man in a peach suite, a commander in a blue suite with a hat. and 2 generic divers, with backpacks and guns.

Brilliant! Many thanks. I just joined the board yesterday and already I'm impressed. I've got a tonne more unidentified figs I'll try out on you guys. Cheers.

Those Military Muscle Men, used to love them. Saw a huge display in a toy shop, many Xmases ago, a huge battle scene sort of thing. I said to myself - "I will re-create this at home!", but that never happened. I tried to draw a picture of it, but just couldn't get the helmets right at the time. Ah well.
