I've never seen that last one, but if it exists, I want it. laugh

I've never seen two of these before: #4: Double mortar round guy; and, #1: Ultimate warrior guy. I've been gaming with Army Men figures since 1998, actively shopping for every figure out there I could find. Typically, mortar figures have a solid tube mortar -- I've never seen one yet which had a hollow tube; never seen the #1 gung-ho Machine Gunner in that pose, either.

I only look at 54mm-60mm figures, though, so maybe these are larger scaled figures? That would make sense, as a hollow mortar tube on a 54mm-60mm figure, injection molded, is nigh impossible. Even the tanks (typically 40mm sized/scale), have solid cannons. I have seen hollow barreled Howitzers, but these are 155mm models, so they're pretty big -- big enough for a two-halves-sandwiched-together cannon model, which allows for hollow barrels. Cheers!

The #1 is from a Russian Company that does limited production runs – keeping figures pricey – Company Name Plastic Platoon 1/32 scale -this particular one is from a set for the Solomon Islands – Some very nice figures

I don't think #1 has a vacuum. It looks more like a Swiffer mop.

#8: Guy telling joke about German he just killed

What's especially funny is that he's carrying an M-16, suggesting that the joker is stationed in Germany in the 1960s or 1970s.

#1: Ultimate warrior guy

I've never seen this one before, but it looks like he exists:

I noticed that too, and agree— it's even more hilarious.
