Anyone remember diecast body with rubber head soldiers toys from 80's or 80's?

I have a co-worker trying to remember what they were called. Essentially they had dicast body and limbs, arms and legs I guess rotate but the head was a rubber or plastic. He also said they were somewhat small figures.
Any idea's?

I think he may be talking about the Bionic 6. It was a show in the 80's and had a small toyline like GIJOE but was partly diecast metal. They were a family of cyborg crime fighters. It was pretty good...the figures were hella heavy for their size.

Nope, not those. Thanks for trying. They had basic limb movement. Moreso statues I suppose but diecast with rubber heads and small.

Strangely your post has reminded me of a smallish total die cast silver / chrome Astronaut I have somewhere. Always found it weird that he's all metal. I have pretty much no actual memory of him as a kid.

Sorry, was talking about those Bionic 6 figures.

After google searching though, I think they may be Sectaurs. I think I've only held one in the playground in my younger years but the description does feel correct to them. Can't remember just how big they were though.

Sounds like Micronauts...

Some came with diecast bodies and some were all plastic.

Fun fact, Soundwave started out as one.
