Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 28 45mm GI's Pose 11 (Last)

Rin Tin Tin? Nope, sorry. The original was WWI. I do remember Rinny from "The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin" 1950s TV show in which the setting was Fort Apache in the Old West. Nope, this dog is instead a mascot for the modern era GI's and was included in a large boxed set that we'll be covering later, and in that set he's labeled as 'K9'. I'm not at all sure if he showed up in header bag sets.

If any figure says 'war weary', it's this one. He is much smaller than his Marx counterpart and he is hunched way forward. His entire visage says, "I'm tired of this crap. I just wanna go home!"

Finding these figures with intact bi-pods can be tricky. As well, it's possible they were made with and without bi-pod.

Payton is on the far right

The biggest defining feature of the Payton is the deeper lines of the web belt and pronounced creasing of the trousers.

I do like these figures, but sometimes this guy can be a bear to stand upright and some trimming may be needed to accomplish that.

Not only is the Payton figure smaller but he has no camouflage netting on his helmet.
