Being English, where these uniforms were staples of the Action-man range for many years, I'm genuinely surprised to find out that these weren't popular in the United States. The UK market got a U.S. Green Beret instead of the Japanese soldier, French Foraign Legionair outfit was later added to the range.
When 12" GI JOE came back in the 90s they did figures of all the branches of our military service and soldiers of the world , I have a few of them , Marines , Navy, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard and so on some From WW1, WW 2, Vietnam and Korea, I have some Tuskegee Air Men, Navajo coad talker, I missed out on Roy Benavidez, but the one i really wanted to see a figure from was the 65th infantry The Borinqueniers, they served from WW 1 through WW 2 and Korea, i sent e mails to Hasbro i got signatures from friends and family members of those who served in the 65th , but it never happened, any advise on how I can get something done and honor my relatives who served with the Borinqueniers??? Love your products great video.
Per David: The inside of the jacket is the same color as the outside. Not faded. I have seen quite a few like that and they were different colors in fabric run. Derryl mentions it also on page 126 of his book.
Fantastic

The Japanese figure is one of my Fav of all time
I have had these since they were made in 1966. I don't think the German uniforms came in two colors, I think the lighter color is just faded.

I didn’t hear him mention black hair for the Nordic heads…..
The foreign soldiers are the best by far.
