3.75" Military Dress Uniform Figures (1980's Cheapy Figures)

Many moons ago, there was the 80's... For some, it was considered the golden age of toys... Mega lines like Transformers, GI Joe, Star Wars... They dominated the decade.
And every half-assed company in Asia tried to get into the game as well... One in particular made figures that featured articulation ala a Kenner Indiana Jones figure (shoulders, hips, head, and knee articulation). These figures were of US Servicemen (and possibly women) at the time. I remember 4 male figures, and seem to think I recall some female figures as well.
They're in their dress uniforms (Marine in dress blues, Army in green dress, Navy in White dress, Airforce in blue dress). I had the Marine. He looked cool with my GI Joes at the time. His knee broke. He wasn't a true Marine, as a true Marine would've glued himself I imagine. He left the job to me.
Anyway, these figures weren't anything TOO spiffy but does anyone else even vaguely recall them? Even maybe a name of the manufacturer or the line itself? Google's not my friend on this, and it's one of the rare instances a weird knock-off toy line is out there and I can't dig up info on it whatsoever.
