TimMee Plastic Army Men - Red 48pc Toy Soldier Figures - Made in USA

I have several colors. The OD Green is a darker green - it looks like what I remember from when I was a kid. The quality of these pieces is pretty good. You can see a lot of detail - and they stand without easily falling over. With all the colors available, you can easily determine which figures belong to which kid. This avoids issues of ownership between siblings or friends and allows you to have multiple players at the same time and easily distinguish which pieces belong to which army. There is a good mix of differently posed figures to allow your kids imagination run wild. If your sensitive to kids playing with toy guns or simulated war scenarios - that would be the only reason to avoid these or any other toy army men. Oh - that reminds me - there are no apparent female figures in these lots. One way to play is to have kids set up an army on either side of a good playing surface and give each kid some marbles. Either alternate turns or just yell “GO!” and let them roll or shoot the marbles at their opponents. When all your men are knocked over - your out. Last army with a man standing wins. Kids can actually strategize a lot in setting up their figures to create blockades and other strategic arrangements.

Thick plastic, many different types of men to play with, expected size, all were intact and haven’t broken so far.

Grandson loves and has fun playing and setting up scenarios. Glad we bought it for him.

These are the originals, not the cheap Chinese versions

During my childhood from the late 70's, I remember these toy soldiers whenever I was playing with my friends or relatives. It was great having them again, though they are now smaller (a little over 2 inches) compared to the previous version which were taller. There are 12 poses for the figures. My only minor disappointment is the pack contained only 46 pieces instead of the 48 indicated in the pack. Overall, a great buy, since it brings back pleasant memories.

These are good, but I would recommend just buying the green/tan pack. The quality seems to be the best on those particular colors. I bought several packs. Yellow is my favorite color as well, so I don't say that lightly. It is super cool that they are made in the USA though. One major plus is that they seem to give you about the right number of each mold. You won't get a pack of all minesweepers.

Excellent toys. The kids enjoyed them a lot. I recommend.

I've used these for a variety of things, but nothing "Home Alone" related...lol. The average size army man that we've all known since we're kids. As with most toys, the durability is fair, but add enough pressure and it'll twist, bend, or snap. If you shoot it with a BB gun, then you'll definitely leave a mark or blast off an arm, depending on how powerful your weapon is. Like most parents would know, if you step on it (blindly in the dark) then 'YES' you will definitely feel it in your feet and leave a mark, mentally or physically...lol. As of lately, I've been modifying these to use with my 'Marble Board' game as some of my playable characters, instead of using actual marbles. Material is sturdy, but easy to work with. Worth the Purchase?...Yes. :-)
