The history of the Corps! military action figure line begins in 1986 when the first series of 24 figures                                                 was released. Shortly thereafter another 6 figures were added bringing the assortment total to 30.                                                    These 30 figures would be    Lanard's staple military line for the next 10 years, appearing under                                                        several different sub-titles such as International Security Force and World Force Response Team.                                                      The 30-figure assortment was repainted and re-released approximately four times between 1986                                                      and 1995.  It was also repainted for one or more offshoots, one of which was called "Gung-Ho".                                                        During the 80's three larger military vehicles were also introduced: the patrol boat, the tank, and the jeep.  Frequently, the vehicles were not carried by retailers even when the figures were.  Because of this many people are not aware that these original three vehicles are more than 10 years old!  READ MORE
