I was trying to look up some German soldiers I had as a kid. I found the mold, Airfix German Infantry (pic related), but all of it is in grey. What I had as a kid was in dark purple. Always thought it looked really good. Tried searching for it but can't seem to find it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yep, my brother had a set from around that time with those Germans in purple. The set was a mountain fortress that had a swinging door, bunker partway up the side and more bunkers on top, with a button that made various combat noises. It came with two armies: the purple Germans and Airfix British Paras in green. It also had an Abrams tank, Humvee and Apache gunship, all in green, and some half-circle bunkers in purple. We still have most of the set kicking around, not sure about the mountain fortress but it might be in a bin somewhere.

I have vague recollections of the toy section in the store where he got the set; there may have been smaller sets with just the soldiers but I can't be certain. Every so often when buying bunches of secondhand army men I'll find a few more of those guys; recently I even got another Abrams and Apache which was a nice surprise. Must've been a popular set but I've been struggling to find any reference to it online.

Yes. That was the *exact* set I had. I can still hear that button on top of the bunker. There was a poorly recorded voice that would yell "FIRE" (sounded more like "FOYER" probably because of the accent of whoever recorded it) followed by machine gun fire and then some explosions.

Haha that's the one, and I can't for the life of me mind pictures of it anywhere. The British Paras were also unique in that they were given the German prone machinegunner pose, seemingly to level the playing field as they were otherwise rather lightly armed compared to their counterparts.

Yes. Crazy. I remember that British sniper. I thought the pose was really cool but I had a hard time keeping him standing because of the way he was leaning. Always needed to have him peaking out from behind a wall. I'm determined to find another set of the Germans. I have a few surviving british paratroopers. The Germans though were decimated. I think there are some remnants of it somewhere in storage but I'm pretty sure most of them were lost in the mud outside or eaten by my childhood dog.

They're made of a harder plastic than typical army men and tend to snap cleanly when stepped on, the fate of many fallen. Getting lucky on ebay or in thrift stores/flea markets is your best bet for finding those exact Germans again, unless you're willing to settle with the Airfix originals or KOs, in which case I think there's still sets floating around.

Had to pad out an Amazon order so I ended up getting this tank, was almost 20 maplebucks for the green version (was also a desert version for a few bucks less) but I felt like splurging for something different. Pretty neat tank really, Chinese Type 99 in 1:48 scale as you can see alongside the ubiquitous M48. The treads roll well, the barrel elevates and the turret makes a satisfying clicking noise when traversing. The only downside is the higher price point, putting together a platoon's worth would not be cost-effective and they're just going to get droned anyways eh.

It's a fairly high quality toy in itself and not intended for army-building unless you're loaded. Other purpose-made army men vehicles have limited production runs and are fairly niche which also drives the price. If you aren't picky you can usually find a good playset on the market that has everything and won't break your budget; pic related is still on shelves at Walmart in many places I think.

A couple of the sailors from the set I got are meant to be on a ship (someone with a signal light, another swabbing the deck). Would love to get one of those old naval ship playsets for army men from the 50s and 60s.

I think you're thinking of the Guns of Navarone playset by Marx. The one we're describing wasn't nearly so tall or impressive and had electronic sound effects. Would be pretty sweet to get one of these, the book and film are absolute kino and they just don't make toys for war films like they used to.

Can't say that I've ever seen a black one, are you sure they were made in black before the current age? For my entire childhood I only ever saw them in green, grey and yellow; later on started to see them in that pinkish tan the infamous unofficial 2nd edition of Timmee's Vietnam poses were produced in. I know Timmee has done red, blue and other odd colors but isn't that a relatively recent thing, like in the last decade

I remember seeing a similar set in a Christmas catalogue once, it had the helicopter, the Herc and one other large vehicle (either their aircraft carrier or a tank of some kind) along with a pile of soldiers. Many regrets...

I grew up mostly in Europe with a few years in Canada mixed in, my army men experiences were largely with Airfix and Matchbox WW2 soldiers. I still value those guys more than any other, don't find them that often but they're the highlight of any random mix of army men found in a thrift store or on kijiji (pic very related). My first Timmee soldiers were in '95 with the release of Toy Story, got one of those Bucket-o-Soldiers produced at the time using the unchanged Vietnam soldiers. Years later when they re-did the bucket for Toy Story 3 they redid all the poses, found that surprising when I got one but I guess they didn't want to license with Timmee again.

While I didn't see a lot of genuine Matchbox and Airfix infantry in the United States, in the early 2000s the clones of them where EVERYWHERE. And always in the that blue-green color and with a very particular chemical smell.
>found that surprising when I got one but I guess they didn't want to license with Timmee again.
Interestingly, that's not the only time Timmee worked with Pixar to make a Toy Story product. The "Underbed Storage Container" that they make today originally was manufactured with Toy Story branding on it. Can't find pics right now, as they rather uncommon.

Packages like these were my jam, not authentic either but high quality clones of Matchbox American soldiers and everything for a good-sized plastic conflict. The best set I remember getting had three armies in green, yellow and grey (with US, Japanese and German flags respectively), a tank for each army, cannons, jeeps, sandbag bunkers and a couple cardboard military buildings. Those clones in yellow and grey are pretty uncommon, was thrilled to get a bunch of yellow in this kijiji score from last year >>10701148 and like later versions of the sets I got as a kid they have poses from the famous Desert Storm set mixed in.

The original bucket I had is long gone and the soldiers themselves have been combined with the odd loose vintage Timmee soldier into a "classic" company, can even find the two paratroopers in the lot, their tattered chutes removed and the helmet rings snipped off to make them ground-based grunts. So much army men stuff from the past just fades away, thrown out or given away cuz of perceived low value or were broken/worn out through rigorous play - I got that kijiji lot for 20 maplebucks.

The contents of this bag are what sold me on the lot - that pair of T72s was just too cool to pass up. They have lights and sounds but I'll have to replace the batteries to see if they still work, regardless they're great tanks. The little Stryker with radar dish is unusual, also a random totem pole (there weren't any other western things in the lot).

I've been having a lot of fun with the set of sailors I got recently. This little crossover raises a question I've had for a while. In your plastic army men battles, do you ever use other kinds of toys as some form of a crossover? I used to use robot-type toys (mostly Bionicle) as mechs for the field battles. I think the 3DO Army Men games are to blame for that little eccentricity, in the same way that they used household items as large-scale ordnance (WD-40 as Napalm).

Absolutely, in fact I still have a parasaurolophus somewhere who has had the moniker "The General" for his services in many a plastic war. Lore was usually fairly limited, things didn't need a reason to exist (and fight) together. In later years the classic animated film Wizards added its own influence - the epic merging of ancient and modern warfare in the final battle continues to inspire toy conflicts to this day.

Love your style, the waves crashing just makes it all the more awesome.

Oh yeah, Wizards is good stuff. I remember liking it a lot because of its twist on blending ancient and modern warfare for its fight sequences. Something about traditionally fantasy-styled edged weapons going against weapons as fatal as firearms added a sense of urgency to the plot. On the flipside, there was a lot of lore my brother and I made up for our little wars. It got to the point where we made up specific battles in the fictional history of the Green vs. Tan conflicts, including the figures who were there and the ramifications they had. Both sides going on "raids" of hobby stores and toy shops contributed to their arms race, and the progression of conventional warfare transitioning into science-fiction was definitely owed to C&C (Tiberian Dawn going into Tiberian Sun).

Thanks a bunch! The shoot was a lot of fun, and this is definitely the early signs of my plastic forces putting the "mech" in mechanized warfare.

Checked. As I remember we had a number of established lands that were routinely in conflict, I think that was how we established that dinosaurs and micro machines and army men could all find themselves on the same battlefield, with the ever-present dread of an Atomizer strike from my Lego forces heh. He was really into cowboys and indians so he had a bunch of their plastic figures, the indians under the cruel leadership of the nefarious Medicine Man. I miss those carefree times, we had a set of wooden blocks that became ruins, fortresses, lines of defense... still got a large container of those plastic pogs that were toothed and could be joined together, they made for great improvised forts and bunkers.

Someday I gotta find the space and time to do epic-scale battlefields again, it's been far too long and I've grown my various collections considerably since the last time.

Did someone say wooden fortresses along with cowboys and Indians?

My brother had a plastic western fort, man that thing saw a lot of action. Might even still have it, though the gate piece was breaking. We also built one out of popsicle sticks and glue, had a siege tower and everything but we should've made it modular for storage, poor thing ended up in a greenhouse outside and rotted.

I had tons of Lincoln Logs and Wild West plastics growing up, allowing me to recreate epic battles right out of all the old movies I watched with my grandparents. Unfortunately, most of that was lost in the move from one childhood home to another. Still, even as a grown adult, it would be fun to find a Fort Apache or Fort Defiance set from Marx or somebody else or get one of those Roy Toy deluxe log forts. To me, /amg/ threads are just as much about the fortifications as they are the figurines.

Definitely, sky's the limit when it comes to army men terrain and strongholds. Years ago we got a bunch of Siege games from garage sales, combining the walls makes for a decent castle.

Even further back, alongside our set of wooden blocks we had my brother's multistory car garage and fisher price barn as fortified strong points. The barn is long gone but the garage pieces are in a bin; it'll see action again one day.

Why the fuck don't the / can't they reset things?
The spammer apparently is gone and now all it's doing is burning out threads - some of them that normal expire after months.
And it's not a one time thing.
WTF mods?

Yes it's all so tiresome, army men generals averaged six-month lifespans previously.

He was indeed on their side, managing to achieve only one kill early in the battle before being slain by General Veers himself. Good times

Yes. That was the Fort Apache set from Marx. There were two or three versions of it, one of which was a fold-up briefcase that doubled as the fort when unfolded. It would serve as the basis for pic related.

Would anyone here be able to identify the brand/manufacturer of these figures?

I had a set growing up and I haven't been able to find much info about them. I found this picture on the very excellent blog stadsstuff but they are just labeled as 45mm mystery figures. (https://www.stadsstuff.com/)

I just got the shitiest little dudes ever from Ali Express. they are like twisted thin wisps of plastic that leaked out of molds and somehow look almost like people. I am not posting them.
I only paid a buck but it still makes me feel bad.

Yeah the two week autosage timer is bollocks, board culture is paying the price for it. I'll start a new thread before calling it a night.
