No idea on manufacturer I'm afraid, but I strongly suspect it was a parachute toy. |

Looks like a Britains Deetail figure to me. I think it went on a motorized raft type vehicle that Navy Seals use. I seem to remember Britains making the raft and two or three figures that went with it. Probably mid 1970's or so. |

Looks like a newer paint scheme, and not one of the classic Britains. Notice the seem on the shoulder. Britains of the 70's and 80's did not have such a seam. This is the last gasp of Britains Deetail. Check this website. link |

looks like these: In one of its last gasps Britians made a line of knights and modern military figures that would swivel at the waist, arm sockets and neck. The modern military figures also had plug on backpacks and clip on night vision goggles. The automatic weapons carried by a number of the figures also had a post and could be plugged onto the figure's backs. About every other figure had a backpack or goggles. Pistols, knifes, and automatic weapons can be exchanged (some with difficulty) to make pose variations. The blue helmet figures were made from 1994 to the end in 1998, while the brown helmet figures were only made in 1994 and 1995. |
