"These are not toys you're looking for!"
I see what you did there!
My favourite hot dogs come from those guys who have those small carts down by the waterside park where you battle the seagulls till the last bite! The original Star Wars was accused of catering to the merchandising side of things,but the newer ones are catering to politicized delusional ideologies that have no human qualities or desires! At least if the original Star Wars talked you into buying a toy, It was your own imagination you used to play with it!
I AGREE with you! I don't like Ewoks, but they are still better than preachy wokeism.
@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 HA! EWOKS TO EVIL-WOKES!
That is a nice set.
Great video. I use the BMC figures to provide increased variety to my F&I forces, but I use them judiciously. By the way, I’ve always thought that the figure that you identified as loading his musket was actually attaching his bayonet. I’ll have to take another look. Anyway, thanks and keep up the good work.
@@PaulCollins-vb3uz you know, I never thought of that, but the butt would still need to be reversed. Good observation!
Great video Iggy. I always find your videos interesting and fun.
Thanks Cowboy Carl!
Rouge One is supposed to be a prequel to a New Hope.
BMCs Rev War troops aren't terrible, but aren't great either. Some decent poses, some goofy poses. The best are the artillerymen.They can be painted to be any nationality. Hessian troops are a bit sketchy, but not many manufacturers make Hessians, so they are useful to fill out the ranks.
@@quasar8898 I agree with you!
I've always liked the MARX landing craft, even as a kid. I own 6-8 originals, in various shades of green. Always wished they were true 54mm rather than the aprx 40mm scale they are cast in. BMC makes true scale landing craft (Higgins Boat) as well as nice Amtrak landing craft.
Marx was pretty loose with the scale. I like them because that is what I remember. Nostalgia is pretty powerful
The mortar is the Australian version.
@@johnf3885 it took me a minute to get it, but then I laughed!
I enjoyed your review, I have both the Napoleonic British Infantry and the French Imperial Guard Infantry by Mars. The detailing on both sets is excellent. As are these WW2 Commonwealth troops. They look like they could fit in with the Airfix WW2 British Infantry 1/32 especially for a D Day scenario? Also their (Airfix) British Para's and Commandos. Heads could be swapped on that PIAT No2 crewman by giving him a beret, taking off his helmet head. And putting him with Airfix Para's. And then their is the Matchbox 1/32 WW2 figures that could blend in with these. Although they are difficult to find these days, being rare and out of production. So there are many different combinations regarding swapping heads and conversions on these Mars WW2 figures.
Who knew that by putting on the Popes hat, you could swing your musket better! That guy that keeps falling down, You could pose him lying down, up inside that cannon facing towards the ground,with an empty barrel of rum next to the cannon!
Lol!
Very cool. They converted the mortor into an iron rocket.
Moonshot maybe?
@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 right
I have some French American revolution soldiers coming, they should be hear some time tomorrow.
Deus Vult!

They look pretty good for knock offs. Time to go Honk kong for weekend
@@danielanderson3286 that would be fun!
Being a child in Northern Ireland I had Action Man. He had a 1960s British army uniform with a beret. I later got the German Storm Trooper uniform and several home knitted jumpers! ❤
Cool! Do you still have them?
@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 He lost a leg in a window parachute accident in 1973.
@@leoncsorba9085 A noble end to a brave friend.
You did a great job narrating this loved seeing all the classic soldiers
@@frankdibona5669 cc You are very kind, sir.
Ive not had an issue with any of the 40th or timeless joes EXCEPT the African American figures, everyone one of them have broken joints. Besides that, i did habe a bunch of issues with my brand new opened by me Action man 40th figures. Half of them had really loose pegs (like the part holding the hands and feet in) amd they'd just fall out. So i had to put some super glue in the joints and tinker with it to where the glue just held them in tightly but i could still move them.
@VermillionRacing we didn't get any Action Man in the states, but I would have loved to see the Soldiers of the World again. I have problems with figures with loose joints too.
@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 I ordered most of my action man figured from eBay or Cotswold collectibles.
I fart in your general direction.
Those crusader knights are great. I had a few back in the day 1970s. Very nicely made toys by Timpo. The mounted knights we're great. Never had the Arab figures. I did have a small collection also of Roman soldiers and horse mounted Roman. That's a great collection you have there.. Unfortunately that was a long time ago and they're just memories now. I've seen the crusaders recently but very costly. Just one figure no horse AU$40.00+ for two AU $80.00+ a mounted Crusader AU 200.00+ . Your fortune to have that collection. I'm very jealous. I think I've comment once before. Sorry if I've repeated.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
@George-pp2hr Timing is everything! When I bought these they were somewhat affordable. Now, I couldn't buy any of them!
...... Sounds hot, I enjoyed taking the historical walk with you Iggy!
@@davidthomasfz66 I liked that you came along too!
great video :)
Blast from the past. This was one of my favorite toys, along with the metal medieval castle and my Davy Crockett replica flintlock rifle. Thanks for the memories!
We had such cool toys back in the day. Now, all kids get are dinosaurs!
Nice retirement road trip
I was curious, the brown horses had the land/grass to help them stand and I thought the Indians made sense for them to ride while the white horses seemed more for the cavalry, but then the yellow saddles seemed to be for the brown horses since they didn't have saddles but I've seen people have them on the white horses that had saddles already molded on them. Not sure how they were supposed to be set up.
nice change of pace thanx for sharing
Did you bring a HARING!!!! To Trim the Shrubbery? You should take a pocket knife and carve MARX USA on the lower part of the gate! Just kidding.
Something very weird was going on. With the focus and lighting of the camera! I originally thought iT was my eyes doing that
Funny! Your Mom tried so hard to keep you from guns,and you grow up to end up in a Tank! Not GI Joe with the German helmet, SS Josef! A hundred years a go, in Germany. When you where initiated in the college gentlemans elite society clubs. You had one arm tied to your side,you fight another guy with a sword,and you end up with your face slashed open or your eye taken out,and then a few years later, You look really Cool as a Tank Commander!
Congratulations on your retirement. Remember when you are retired every day is a Saturday except for Sunday. You will have a long and joyous retirement.
Nice she got you that book even if she isn't around. I have that third edition book . I had the orange sled too. Great video. Thank you for the memories.
The 90s were awesome.
LOL!!! "Show you the knee joints" It is weird.
Mascara 😂
Congrats on your retirement!!!!
These figures would paint up well, and the advantage of doing so would be that if you just painted the weapons and webbing or boots and flesh on face and hands they would look great. However if you wanted to paint everything then that would be cool to. As they are all fairly the same in uniform you could quickly line them up and paint them factory style. For example do all boots first, then trousers (pants) webbing, jackets, weapons, flesh etc.
Thats great for me seeing those Marx books! I have the Timpo, Airfix and Britains book you are yet to review as I am in the UK. I am 64 and as a kid I had the six inch Marx figures that were made at the Marx factory in Swansea, Wales, UK. However as in UK we had our equivalent Airfix, Britains, Crescent, Cherilea, Charbens, Timpo, Herald etc. We did not have the Marx playsets seen in your reviewed books. We had playsets from British manufacturers though. I have been collecting since around the 1970's and I have built up a small collection of Marx and Ledo figures through the decades. I have a couple of Marx playset magazines mainly for the articles on western playsets. I still have from the 1960's (however box long gone) the fort cheyanne playset which was made in wood and pressed hardboard had plastic roofs that fitted over the wooden watchtowers. Ledo soldiers as you featured in your book review, also Ledo Indians some that twisted at the waist. And cowboys and mountain men figures. Accessories were wagons (red ones, yellow wheels) cannons and ladders etc. I saw these when you reviewed Ledo pages in the Civil War Marx book. I enjoyed your review especially looking at the pages because they are rare to get over here. Regards, Martin.
Great video & Happy Retirement Sir
...... Iggy, I'm so glad you finally reached over a thousand subscribers, which means you are monetized now. I have followed you since the beginning, and I enjoy all that you do.
Thank you. I don't think I can make money at it, but it's nice that the Iggy Army has new recruits,!
Nice reference material! It should keep you on CZcams for another 50 years! combined with you nice experiences! You should rebind the good quality pages of the soft cover books,into the hard covers! Your only as old, as the Pension department makes you feel!
The chap at the begining was very posh. Oh, happy retirement too ❤
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought they were civil war soldiers because their blue and grey. British soldiers in the American revolution are usually red, anyway theses figures are really nice. I just ordered some Buffalo soldiers from BMC!
I have a knights templar soldier and a hospitalar soldier in my collection. They cost about £6 each.
I have this set but with a plastic base! I'm Andy, Annmarie's husband.
I am from the Netherlands, Europe. Those toy Markx sets never were here for sale. It was Britains, Timpo and Airfix toysoldiers. Hardly civil war figures. I guess in those days factory's and shops did consider the local history as valid for producing kid's soldiers. So we had knights of the round table, Romans and Greeks, WW2 soldiers and yes, cowboys and indians. From movies and TV series ofcourse. I am amazed that Markx made a huge quantity of playsets, to get this on the market. The only Markx I got, I know for now, is those big size indians and cowboys. I had 2 indians. A friend of me had 10 of those big cowboys. What I remember from the time as a kid of 11 years old, the details of those figures and the face expressions. They were really good! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for sharing about what was available to you when you were younger. Britain's, Timpo, Airfix were much better than what we had, but when we were kids, we didn't know anything else. Thank you again for sharing with us!
Does anyone have parts to exchange? Gulliver Wester (Atlantic style)  
Next time please watch the focus of the camera. The figures wich you show in close up, are vague... sadly.
22$? Expensive? OK, they are not cheap considering other brands making more figures. But these are very original. $ 2.75, is a good price. They are well made and have good poses. I know figures wich costs like some 22$ a piece.
The officers that you say had their swords broken off, if you look closely you'll see the hilts of their swords are still in their scabbards! So it couldn't be their swords Regards, Andy, Annmarie's husband
I never noticed that before, but I kept the broken sword pieces. This represents an interesting sculpting error
@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 That IS an interesting sculpting error! Especially since you physically have the swords. You might have to cut off the hilts or just leave it be.
THEY SOLD THESE LEGIONARIES IN PACKS OF ABOUT 100 AT TOYS OR US BACK IN THE 90S.GREAT FOR WARGAMES.PICK UP 5 PACKS FOR THAT REASON,STILL GOT THEM. TAKE CARE
You got a good deal!
