Were there evey any Rat Patrol toys?

Loved the show as a kid, and the hats and goggles, but did they ever have figures?

Yep, they were made by Marx. I think they might even be around 8 Inches. Sounds like I'm making that up but it's true.

And Hasbro made a knock off Rat Patrol set with jeep and driver called the Desert Patrol Attack Jeep (no mention of Rat Patrol- see image below. NOTE: the macine gun shown in photo is not the one that came with the set). Officially, there was a Rat Patrol model kit from Aurora (desert scene with small jeeps, German tanks and sand dunes) and a Remco motorized jeep marketed under the Rat Patrol name. Not sure what else was made aside from lunchboxes and the Marx figures and jeep already mentioned.

Actually a bit of stuff was produced for the show...there was the Marx playset, which I had as a kid and destroyed in "combat" out in the sandbox. Now out of my price range, still hoping for that great yard sale find!

There was a card set from Topps, 6 Dell comics, 6 paperback novels, a Whitman book, a lunchbox, a Halloween costume of Troy, a board game, an Aurora model, and the Remcon trik-trak jeep. I have the cards, comics, & books as well as a really rusted lunchbox, but the others I've never seen. The topps cards can be found but the punchout ring insignia cards (instead of stickers) are almost impossible to find except at a premium price.

I see this thread, and can't help but miss Joe90. I know he liked this show.

Thanks for the info everyone. I wonder why they gave the enlisted guys helmets and not the ball cap style hat with the goggles. The German ptro is perfect!

There were also several licensed Matchbox vehicles, as I recall.
