Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 65 Sets: Pt 7 Payton No. 2000 Unbreakable Soldier Set Revisited: Did It Come With This?

When I received my set No. 2000, it was a mixed blessing. The box was the single most important part of the purchase as was the 'K9' (clearly a German Shepherd) which is a bear to find in its own right. My box also contained some Eldon vehicles which I sorely needed for that collection, but was missing the two troop transport trucks. In addition, one of the tanks had a broken barrel, and all the 'unbreakable' figures in my box were...

...you guessed it - BROKEN!

The missing / broken pieces were easily replaced and I was able to make a complete set out of it. However, there was one piece included which stumps me to this day. My set included a blow mold sandbag emplacement which looks very similar to a piece on the box top artwork (which I circled in the picture below). I did not include this piece in yesterday's post because I'm not totally sure it belongs to the set. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.

Among the hardest Payton figures to find is the K9

The 'unbreakable' figures included in my purchase

Upon first glance this appears to be a boulder, but upon closer inspection, it does resemble a very crude sandbag emplacement.

Here's what a complete (and unbroken) set would look like with the sandbag emplacement as part of the contents.
