Yes, I remember G.I. Joe with all their accesories. I even had a jeep.

But what about Johny West. He was a 11" cowboy doll. Me and my brother had
him, hios indian friend and both of their horses. They had accesories like
pistols, rifles, hats, chaps, peace pipes, saddle bags, and cooking pans.
I believe they later came out with a Quick Draw Johny West, with a spring
loaded arm for gunfights.
