While looking for something else I stumbled across these in my basement. I don't recall anything about them.

Here are pix of the 4 sets that I have. Were there more? Any info?

I don't know much about these, but I do remember seeing them in a store in the late 1980s. I would say somewhere around 1987-1990. There was also a Bible Heroes series with sets like David and Goliath and I think one with a Roman legionary vs. a Hebrew warrior. I saw them on sale in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada at a store called The Bay (Hudson's Bay Company). I thought about buying them for a week or so but when I went back they were all gone.
I have never seen them on eBay.

They are about 5 - 6 inches tall, right?

Any info on the packaging about the manufacturer?

EDIT: I guess I never looked hard enough. There's tons on eBay right now.

I just found a few WW2 sets on eBay right now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-New-Ventures-American-Heroes-Figures-IWO-JIMA-NO-1305-NRFB-/371623942731?hash=item5686835a4b:g:JhwAAOSwiYFXJ2yR

Here are the ones you already posted:

Seems the Bible Heroes were actually called "Holy Land Heroes" or maybe the line was retitled. This packaging looks newer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Holyland-Heroes-JUDAS-FREES-HIS-NATION-FROM-THE-SYRIAN-Action-Figures-Bible-/140880647618?hash=item20cd2415c2:m:mwdv60meCfk5AcAWdgvBE_g

All Holyland sets, old packaging http://www.ebay.com/itm/Holyland-Heroes-True-Strength-Courage-/151389193626?hash=item233f7fc59a:g:55YAAOSwbqpT9j5X

I've seen most of these either at Walmart or at toy shows, but never saw or heard of the two WWII anniversary sets. Those are very interesting. It would have been nice if there were 1/32 scale figures made from these.
