Coleco made Colonel Trautman join the Force of Freedom !!

Based on the 80's cartoon; "Rambo: The Force of Freedom", Coleco made a series (two actually) of fully articulated 6 1/2" figures to celebrate what is mostly a lame and non violent show. Colonel Trautman was part of the release and he looks ready for action !!

Carrying a belt fed Heavy Machine gun and big freaking knife ! Yeah, he'll do some damage !


 
The gun has a real cool feature; there is a wheel on the backpack that "feeds" the belt through the gun !


 
The figures from this line are really impressive. Trautman is no exception. The detail in the molding and attention to facial features is exceptional.


The paint apps on his arms and chest are very well done.


 
The Colonel and his protege killer, Mr. John J. Rambo. Want some advice ? Just let them get a quick bite to eat and they'll leave your little town peacefully. We know what can happen when the former Green Beret gets hungry !!


This line is exceptional and I wish I knew about them when I was a kid. I am enjoying these guys a little late but the damage I would have done with Rambo and Trautman as a Warmongering little toy addict would have been epic !
