Colonel Trautman
With Battle-Action Auto-Fed Machine Gun
About This Vintage Toy
Produced by Coleco in 1986, the Rambo “The Force Of Freedom” Colonel Trautman’s action figure was a must-have to accompany Rambo on his adventures. Colonel Trautman is Rambo’s commanding officer (CO) and his “The Force Of Freedom” teams leader. Colonel Trautman is dressed in full army uniform and special forces beret as an army officer. Colonel Trautman was the only film character other than Rambo to officially be issued its own Coleco action figure for the toy line.
This Coleco action figure also featured a variety of weapons, including a shoulder-strapped ammunition distributor that, with a knob winding action, fed belts of bullets into his 7.62 FN Machine Gun. He also came equipped with several realistic military-grade weapons commonly used during and post-Vietnam war, including an M16 rifle and a Colt 45 Pistol.
The Rambo “The Force Of Freedom” Colonel Trautman action figure offered 7 points of articulation with the hips, knees, shoulders, and neck. The figure was produced at six and one-half-inch tall and featured a detailed likeness to the Richard Crenna actor. The action figure was time-stamped 1985 Anabasis Investments N.V. and was made in Taiwan.
