That's almost exactly how the Kotobukiya line of Front Mission toys worked. The
limbs, heads and equipment were interchangeable (though the first and second
series didn't fit perfectly), and I'm fairly sure every mech came in military
green, and a few came in blue or grey, and there were a couple of red ones.

Koto's Armored Core toys were also interchangeable, though they were designed
with an eye more towards the individual character of each mech than the overall
system. I think most of them had gunmetal repaints, though.
