    Awesome, id like to ask you where did you get these green soldiers? I noticed thst they are glued to cleer plastic or some other kind of material so im guessing these are 3d printed? I also noticed that they look like they have cuts on their feet, did you cut them of they're baseplates?

      The green soldiers are actually part of a less common set, they're the US Army set by Viikondo. The original baseplates were detachable and too large for stop-motion purposes, so I substituted some clear plastic and glued them on

I would really like to use them in some of my stopmotions. I really like that its mostly about the battle, gives me more entertainment!

    Chinese army men have a lot of varying quality depending on manufacturer and price. Most of my collection (~97%) are Chinese soldiers, and I can say confidently that they vary from decent to near-flat 2d figures.

    Fact: the ‘pointing pose’ for USA was actually a grenade thrower, but the mould broke in the 80s, and they replaced with a hand. The China poses (True Heros) actually re-sculpted the grenade back in his hand which is useful (i have). The China poses (True Heros) are called the ‘Bizzaro Timmees’. Timme Toys are the USA ones. They basically are similar to each other (except for officer). Also, the reason they are called china poses is because they copied True Heros, (discontinued brand with army men). So theres some history for ya😊

    • @captaincobratgaming718

      These aren’t true heroes army men, there is a company called Vi!Kondo in China that makes knockoffs of the true heroes poses. These are VI!KONDO army men. Not true heroes, true heroes is much higher quality than this. These are not true heroes, they have a much much better quality than this and aren’t derpy and sad. Do more research if you’re gonna make a comment and call it history.

      @@CertifiedBC I just read a bit more on it and looks like you're right. They were using single shot 1873 rifles which are actually breech loaded, not muzzle loaded like muskets. So they would've been faster than muskets but still much slower than the rifles Spain was using.
