Looking for Arnold as John Matrix ..........

Post by Andy1672 »

3 3/4" John Matrix from the film "Commando"

These figures sold for 99p in the cheap shops in the late eighties, I remember buying him (when I was a teenager ) and he stood on top of my portable telly for years !

For whatever reason he has long gone and I am currently looking for a replacement.

I cant seem to find any on ebay, but he is the type of figure that would turn up in a job lot ?

Has anyone come across one before ?

I have researched him a little and he was made by Diamond toys along with another 7 figures.

They also produced an 8 inch line of the same 8 figures.

Any help would be much appreciated !

That guys name is Psycho, he was one of the (not from the movie) bad guys from the same series.

These figures were not really top quality, the only half decent one was Arnold.

I had to lift these pics from VTC ! apologies ....
