C/D: Cheap plastic green army men

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Classic toys of childhood. Do any army men ever survive the male adolescent descent into pyromania around the age of, what, 12? 13?

Also, funny how half the army guys were riflemen who always had bayonet permanently bent.

my fave army guys: the minesweeper, and the bazooka guy.

― kingfish superman ice cream (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

The bazooka guys were the best, because they had lower centres of gravity (since they're kneeling) and didn't fall over in the wind. As much.

I like the grenadiers though too.

The prone ones were great for dead soldiers

― Peter Densmore (pbnmyj), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

no no the guy waving the pistol! I'd follow him to hell and back.

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

The crawling guys were great, they could sustain much greater impact velocity without being ruined permanently.

I am amazed at how clearly I can still remember the moment I discovered exactly how slingshotable these fuckers were.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

Classic. We used to set them up in the back yard and throw what we called "dirt bombs" at them, which were chunks of soil hard enough to be thrown like a rock that would explode if they hit something. I miss dirt bombs. Must've been a southwest Saskatchewan thing as the dirt here won't clump in quite the same way.

― Bryan (Bryan), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

Classic! As an obsessive compulsive youngster I used to collect tiny versions of these, and have hundreds of them lined up all over my room. I'd have an army on the shelves fighting one on the desk below, and troops lined up around the skirting boards, and if one man was blown by a breeze and fell down, I'd move him to the casualty area. The army with the most men standing at the end of a given time was the winner.

I'm so thankful Nintendo came along and took care of this sort of behaviour.

I never got into that, but then again I'm afraid of lighting fires. I also never had any green army men -- my only exposure to them was the obligatory box of toys in kindergarten.

There was this series of GI Joes I took apart and put back together with mismatched arms/torsos/legs, who I decided was going to be a master race of overseers who commanded the rank-and-file brigades of these little buggers. It was amazing how well their arms and legs fit into the Joe-Cobra hybrid JOBRA's kung fu grips.

I always felt sorry for the ones who got chewed up by my dog.

This really takes me back, my friend from up the road would come over and we'd play "army" in my front garden. It'd mainly involve setting up all the troops and then, I er, can't remember, we only seemed to spend ages setting things up.

http://www.thortrains.net/armymen/newpic04/mar54x2.html

Woah! Check out the guy getting shot!

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah jel, there were grey ones too, I think they were, uh, Hungarian?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

Must've been a southwest Saskatchewan thing as the dirt here won't clump in quite the same way.

michigan thing, too. thus the name of the detroit band, "the Dirtbombs"

also, what were those little boxes of super-realistic army guys, the ones that you'd find in hobby shops? they have boxes for NVA regulars, various Wellington/Napoleanic forces, U.S. WWII Paratroopers, 1960's-era U.S. Navy Seals, etc

and each of them was only about an inch tall, a better scale for when you wanna lay out an entire battlefield on only your mom's folding card table.

― kingfish superman ice cream (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

but as i mentioned in the thread-starting post, for many of us, the discovery of one toy tended to lead to the destruction of the previous one.

For example, the discovery of fireworks. "Look out! The Ewok Village is on fire!"

Or! New BBGun vs various action figures("lookout, Captain Power! There goes your head!")

all facets of life in the middle-class american suburbs.

― kingfish superman ice cream (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

I had none of these but I still managed to decimate my friends troops when my team of scientists developed the Hose Flood. We had no idea what type of terrible brave new world we were unleashing.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:37 (twenty years ago)

I always thought their scale was too big. I ordered the teeny tiny army tanks/ships/planes etc from the back of a comic book and had MASSIVE BATTLES.

My son is almost 8. Is now the time, or has it already passed and my kid's the only one who hasn't beeen playing with green army men since he was two minutes old?

Also, I think they are dud as no one ever let me play with them (the reasoning being that they were BOY'S TOYS and I had the obvious misfortune to be a girl), but I bet if I'd been allowed to play, too, I'd think they were classic.

Bastard boys.

My germans were grey. They seemed better tailored so I always rooted for them.

When home sick from school, I'd ask my mother to buy me a large bag of plain m&ms. I can remember pouring them all on the bed and sorting them. Brown were the Germans. (The most plentiful) Tan were Italians. The allies were; yellow - Americans (almost as many as brown); red - Brits; green - French. A handful would get tossed into battle at a time. Death was represented by eating them without looking at colors. Brown usually won out. Weird kid, I'll admit.

Wow, this thread title took me WAY back. I was the one rebel girl who's local friends in my hood were all boys and we had such fun digging a small trench in the dirt and running a hose thru it and pretending we were playing war. It was a time when there wasn't a war happening. I now feel ashamed.

I only played with them when forced to by this one friend of mine. I found it really boring. He was deep into GI Joe, which I didn't see the allure of, either. Though he did have the huge fighter jet with the wings that pulled back and working landing gear. That was pretty radical.

I used to have loads of these when I was a kid. the best ones were the tiny little airfix world war one ones. there was a pair of guys from the british army carrying a roll of barbed wire between them and a little machine gun emplacement you had to put together. The ww1 germans had a liittle mortar IIRC. The napoleonic ones were great as well. The prussian army was stylish. There was also ancient britons and imperial roman legionnaires. I had loads, hundreds of the things. No idea where they've all gone.

with regard to scale, if i remember correctly the vehicles, even my C-130s, that accompanied the green plastic men were always a bit small.

My brother and my nephew developed their own RPG style boardgame using army men and the Battle Masters vinyl mat.It was quite inventive.

Just as in normal army men play, the greatest joy was in setting up the theatre of battle (second only to arguing about the rules).

Some common challenges:
-
-No - he can't die because he was behind this stick.

-Why are you making machine gun noises when he's got a flame-thrower?

-No but wait, my tank got in the way (move tank in the way).

-You can't kill him because he's my captain and you can't kill captains because they're stronger than the others and anyway he's on a secret mission so actually your guy is shooting at nothing because my captain is hiding and he's only pretending to be dead.

-You're stupid.

Some common rebuttals:
-
-No, you're stupid.

These cheap army men were always much better than the expensive GI Joe action figures, because you could fight large pitched battles, with dozens and dozens of casualties, and it never mattered if a few men got chopped up or buried in the dirt and not found for a few months, until your sappers were excavating in that area with a tablespoon.

― Aimless, Monday, 27 September 2010 03:37 (fifteen years ago)

a friend of mine (during the above-mentioned pyromania years) took several hundred green plastic army men and methodically melted them down the kitchen and bathroom drains in his (his parents') house, the molten green plastic mixed in with handfuls of gravel from the yard. when confronted with the consequences of this, he claimed that he didn't know it would cause problems.

i think i've told this story before...
