Well there was the Hot Toys Platoon figures. It disgusts me to this day that they never made Elias to complete the main trio of characters.
Taylor and Barnes were terrific though - apart from their uniforms not being green enough. I remember looking around for even non-licensed Saving Private Ryan figures at the time but never pulled the trigger on anything I saw. And then without Elias it really diminished the value of having the Platoon figures in my collection so when I needed money off they went. And that was that, I didn't give the military genre any further thought.
