Schwarzenegger / Commando Vintage 3 3/4 Figures

The Mandela Effect?Or something like It.I don't actually have any memory of these toys ,although, apparently , they released at the height of my childhood toy acquiring days.Diamond Toymakers was the name of the company responsible for producing these paramilitary half pints.They released In 1986 along with a six inch line of the same figures and sculpts.Playing with these for a little while on my toy shelf,I would have definitely dug them as a kiddo.The following MOC pics are not mine.I snagged them off of ebay to show an example of the carded figure.I'm looking at the packaging and wondering If I saw these at one point In my childhood on the Chuck E. Cheese wall of prizes.

Here we have Sawbones,John Matrix and Psycho.All sculpted differently ,standing at about the same height.What's strange about these figures Is their arms and head sculpts,which are made out of  a soft rubber.It works,but I still find It a bit odd.Actually ,Sawbones arms are hard plastic,so he might be the acception .I don't have any of their original weapons,but Joe accessories work well with them.The hand sculpts firmly grip onto most weapons.The figures sport 8 points of articulation,including a rotating waist.  

In this comparison pic,we have John Matrix standing next to  a  vintage Hasbro's Snake Eyes,the new Lanard Sam Jackson figure  and a Chap Mei Red Beret
