So I was thinking since there are so many lego clones who fail at mini figures or copy lego....
Did not one of them think to literally take army men (or whatever the name of them is) and use realistic min figures like this?

I think articulation can be a challenge however what is preventing anyone from simply making a non articulated army men statue call it a mini figure and make the base a lego plate so you can stick it on lego bricks and call it a day ? Did anyone do this ?

I checked and one of my army men is basically in scale with a lego mini figure only being a head or half a head taller.
