Although Processed Plastic referred to this tank as an M60, it is actually modeled after the U.S. M41 Walker Bulldog light tank that began service in 1951. The PP7520 was packaged in a cardboard tray with eight 54mm scale Vietnam era soldiers, the Big Battle Figure Set with ten 6" soldiers, several command playsets or sold individually from a display box. It featured a 360° rotating turret, elevating barrel, four rolling wheels, an opening turret hatch with a fixed position gunner and a large rear opening hatch. Several stickers were applied that included American flags, registration numbers, white stars and U.S. Army lettering. In 1991, the desert tan color was introduced as part of the Desert Command Series to commemorate the victory in Desert Storm and included a unique Desert Command logo sticker. During the last 10 years of production, they were also cast in camouflage using a process called marbling. This was achieved by injecting additional plastic color(s) into the mold cavity and therefore no two camouflage tanks are identical. Finally, there was at least one Bulldog cast in aqua green. This may have been a test shot, simple oversight or last minute substitution of plastic at the end of a production run.

This helicopter was a hybrid of sorts. The front was inspired by the Bell AH-1 Cobra and the rear shrowded fantail taken directly from the French-made Aérospatiale SA-341G Gazelle.

It was also released in red as the T.A.R. Squad Assault Chopper, two blue variations as the #7411 Police Helicopter and the #7419 Super Defender Helicopter. A tan version was released in 1991 as part of the Desert Command Series.

It was molded in desert tan and included the Desert Command sticker, United States flag stickers and a registration number sticker. The original chrome hubs and motor were recast in black for this particular variation. Features included all terrain tires, roll bar, window netting and molded seat. While the buggy is not a military vehicle per say, it sports the Desert Command stickers and color and is therefore included in this category.
