The last 1/6 figure of the Medicom Cro-Magnon MSFS (Medicom Special Forces Series) was the Japan SAT (Special Assault Team).

The Special Assault Team (特殊急襲部隊 Tokushu Kyūshū Butai) is the official civilian counter-terrorist unit under the Japanese National Police Agency. On April 1, 1996, the Special Assault Team (SAT) was established after a year's training with the GSG 9, GIGN and the British SAS. The SAT are established within in the existing MPD (Metropolitan Police Department) and were created to deal with domestic hijackings, kidnapping, etc. by terrorist forces.

I especially liked the hidden holster at the back with the spare revolver

And the standard secondary weapon (usually 9mm pistol) in drop-down holster
