Hello,
You can get very realistic collectible action figures in several WWII configurations for a lot less than $85. I have found these figures for between $35 and $40. Look for mint figures sold in "damaged" boxes for at reduced prices.Check the following sites (these are just a few, if needed I have many more!!):

BTw it doesn't seem to make sense to spend the money for these figures if you are going to cut them up. If weight is a problem just buy the uniform pieces and accessories and stuff them with cotton them buy an action figure head to top it off. Just my 2c.
