- Just a casual video on my opinion of the various Army Men poses and manufacturers that i own, such as Timmee, Matchbox and Airfix.

Thanks to At The Queen's Command blog for providing images of some of the soldiers: www.atthequeenscommand.com/?fbclid=IwAR18SyVAM7LZmybUkthLRdd_2r4f1RI_P6B7MW-qN63Tdk-EEygBQPM5JN8
You should check out this blog: ww2pts.blogspot.com/search/label/01%20-%20Troops%20-%20United%20States
It provides some good information on a LOT of army men. I do mean a LOT.
While that is limited the US soldiers, i use Plastic Soldier review for reference, though it focuses on 1/72 scale figures.
@@TheGeneralMoe114 Actually, there are tabs for several other World War 2 factions on the left, like the Japanese, British, and some obscure ones, like Chinese Kuomintang and Italian soldiers
thx m8 i'll have a look!
Oh my god this music reminds me of AMOW series one
The Timmee toys soldiers originally had a walking/marching pose, but the mold broke sometime in the 80s, and was never fixed
armies of plastic studios yes indeed but bmc toys toke some marx poses and made s new set ill send you a link for it
i dont have the link but if you go to amazon and search "bmc toys marching" and it
will come up
What? They lost the STC for that mold or something?
Yes...i had those with my Navarone set..i think thats where i had a standing rifleman also
Yea I got one off ebay i can confirm
By golly darn, you covered everything but my very favorite pose
I can’t seem to find the original artists of the mold, but I have found that a company that makes a kit called “Military Defense Playset” that includes the poses in olive drab and knockoff timmee poses in dark green. It also has 2 M48 Patton tanks in dark green and olive drab. I would put a link in this comment but CZcams usually marks any comment with a link as spam so I’ll try to reply to this comment with the link

@@Mickamations I also had that set of army men it was my second set of army men but for some reason it didn't had the pointing guy
Mc Fata I bought quite a few of those bags and I think that they totally randomize the poses in each bag
I got those at walmart
U mean plastic apocalypse poses? The ones that Akkerman used for sergeant?
I personally like the poses that come in 1/32 models, because they are really 3-D (have a lot of plastic in them) easily paintable, as you put them together after you paint them, and really detailed. They are just really expensive, so I tend to just buy stuff from dollar tree
Hey moe thanks for uploading this!
General Moe,The standing pose is very common at Amazon. You can buy it there or look at a local store.Another tip to find standing soilders is “True Hero” On Amazon
Iamwildfor Pikachu not for me
Thank you for the vid. I have been gathering army men and vehicles for a few months now so I can shoot a stop motion. It helps knowing some of the makers of the figures. I wasn't familiar with matchbox.
Thank you
Damn Army men rts Theme song in the background... so nostalgic...
Oo nga
I have come back to this video many times, the references and review is very useful. Thanks!
You can get a big bucket of the match box ww2 army men u like on amazon for 20 dollars. There is also British and Japanese soldiers with it
Yeah getting it looks great
As of 2024, and 2023, i’ve been trying to get them. But they are currently unavailable..
Thanks for the guid General, keep up the amazing work and have an awesome 2019!
My favorite is “ye old Marx & mpc guys from the 70’s”
Mine are the old medic guys that carries other woundend troop's
Armywarfair yes I actually have some
Sgtlott 10 I have some to
Sgtlott 10 I just have some knock offs
IMC productions from my collection video I will link it
The BMC Lido army men go great with the M41 Walker Bulldog tank that TimMee offers. I use those guys to go against my MPC Germans and my Armies in Plastic Russians although slightly off scale it's still cool. I think they should be made in tan in the future. :)
Another great video! The green "BMC" guys with no bases were originally made by a company up in the Bronx called Lido. As a kid I played with them and liked the no-base feature because it allowed them to be placed in trees,climbing ladders,etc. I used to pretend they were a military police unit, since a few of them have pistols and lanyards and seem to be in sentry poses. As for the Timmee, they are now being done in a whole different bunch of colors,which is great because you can use the white as ski troops,the blue as navy,black as ss or commandos,red as communists,etc. They even now have purple,which reminds me of one of the all-time great comic book series from the 1960s; "M.A.R.S. Patrol", the Marine Attack Rescue Service. The enemy force had purple uniforms and tanks,etc.
What
@@louisbyrne8084 That's what I like; an intelligent remark.
This music brings back so many memories! "Ready to build! Where d'ya want it?"
Nicely done, thanks for sharing this interest & passion!
The timme soldier that had to have his hand remade is pretty much useful for being a dead guy
The video was so complete and good
I am just starting out on CZcams, but your videos are a great motivation. Keep up the fun content.
omg that background music is from rts army men! that is my favorite game of all time! spent so many hours playing that
The soldier standing and firing and the Timmee/Timmee knockoff bazooka guy are my favorite poses. I've got so many bazooka guys and standing and firing guys in my collection!
Nice poses
Timee will always be my favorite as the inherited Timee Vietnam era guys where top quality when I was young. I do love the Elite Forces figures they’re very reminiscent of the old Timee with a similar plastic which is flexible and not brittle. Another thing I like is the set I picked up came in a bucket where the top was actually a foxhole with wood bridge for the handle which was added play factor
A nicely detailed review, General. Well done, sir!
I have currently true hero’s and timmee and it’s a really good combo,the true hero’s fill in those poses I always wanted to have the shooting standing guy, I really like the combo I recommend to get them 2 together
You are so good at all the army men
Very insightful! Great video too my man
There is a store near me where I found a couple drawers of the British airfix troopers for only 25 cents a guy. Super happy for finding them!
I admit I have nearly all the knock offs but the British paratroopers knock offs are my most favourite (with others like timers and match box or whatever)
Elite Force has another set. It’s very modern solders with some heavy duty guns 💪🏽 check em out bro
3 years after this video, and mixture of poses have gone random... Dunno if it is just depending on shops where one looks plastic soldiers from, perhaps...? I kinda miss those good ol' matchbox kits.
About those 'nam poses you said apeparing in early 2000s; those appeared here in Finland in 90s already... xD
General moe True heroes and adventure force make this posses.
HiI'm 11 years old and I admire your videos more than all your soldiers movies
bmc are recasts of lido. they also do recasts of marx and mpc. marx toys were the best detailed army soldiers during the 1960's from 2 inch scale us infantry to the 6 inch scale marines.
Thank you for making this video i learned alot thank you
Your videos are the best.
5:08 that company died with toys r us
But u can get them at Ross
Rowan Murrill really?
@@IMCproductionsYeah but thetes nit assoldiers
General Godzilla awesome
Rowan Murrill :v
Is there a site that shows more information about all different kinds of plastic army men? I've been searching and couldn't find one. That's also how I came to this (very helpful) youtube
At 13:42, concerning the paratroopers - I have a bunch of these 'generic' molds from when I was younger. Those are my favorites.
Where can I find more like these? I found the proper British ones, but I like the simplified version.
At walmart,ebay, amazon
My first set was a bucket called elite operations. Although it doesn't say true heroes, it is all their molds.
My favourite were a set by ARCO. They did a special forces style set that basically just had a bunch of Rambo looking figures.
Hey, can you link the true hero and match box USA army set? Thanks!
Airfix/matchbox seem good and I have a few, but only 2 since I got them at the dentist like 4 years ago, except for the German ones, I have 15 and I got them. Last year
Army men will be in the harts of many
when is the next lego vs army men coming out i cant wait i saw the trailer by the way i love your channal
I have 200 ww2 style army men some British styled some American styled some German styled and that’s all the styled army men i have they aren’t too detailed i have almost all of (possibly all of them) the Air Fix paratrooper poses and i’ve been subbed to general moe for like a year now possibly longer
You have voiced my concerns so accurately, I really wish Timmee had a standing and aiming mold
I wish they put the wheels back on the tanks
I have 2 elite forces buckets, though they are slightly shorter than the timmee molds
So excuse me General Moe sir I gave the toy Army men soldiers a war speech to attack lego military forces.
Hey I am a stopmotion artist and I live in a area (not gonna say where for privacy) where in here 10:49 the machine gun,bazooka,rifle up,rifle down,walkie talkie,binoculars and there's also a uzi and a dude with a bag on his back but no weapons.since I don't live in America/Australia I see that there's some things that's not that normal for Americans/Australians because our baseplates for army men are either hexagonal or square and circle sometimes and youd be lucky do find anything here 11:51 except the ones I listed
I love your vids
This really helped a lot thank you!!
I do army men stop motion also I always go for bmc because they are not very expensive and have lots of molds
22:14 the shotguy gun🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video
Awesome
Genrel could u plse help me with the air ticks i cant find them
Nice work!
i get my airfix ones from arcades or stuff like that
Great video 👍
Nice video! Those overly-tall "BMC" figures you mentioned were originally made by "Lido" of the Bronx in New York City. I find them very useful as Military Police (or Air Police for the Air Force),or also they work well as Rangers because---since they lack bases----you can have them climbing trees or scaling cliffs or place them on ladders ( Back during WW2 the Marines had a similar unit called Carlson's Raiders,who did a lot of similar Ranger-type stuff,based on methods learned from the Chinese Communists). Also I agree with your thoughts on the Tim-Mee Vietnam guys; very useful backbone troops and good quality. I'd like to see you do a vid on plastic vehicles too---or have you already done it?
Check out the 1943 movie 'Gung Ho!' which is the story of Carlson's Raiders. It was great fun watching as a kid back in 1960 but not sure how it will fly these days. It was made during WW2 so doesn't hold back on making the Japanese look evil. But back in 1943 flag waving movies like this were needed to boost morale. The outcome of the war was still unknown.
@@miked6335 Thanks for your comment. I'm VERY familiar with "Gung Ho" and have it on DVD as a matter of fact. Great film,and you can tell it was made during the war because it has that fighting spirit to it. Carlson was quite a guy! As for the Japanese, most people today forget that popular sentiment was all for going in and bashing the Japs because of Pearl Harbor. But most people did NOT want to go to war with Hitler...it was considered to be a Euro thing and not our business. But FDR overruled everyone and declared war anyway,because he said "If we don't tackle Hitler now he'll get too powerful and we won't be able to tackle him later." Was he right?
timmee also had sapper guys but for some reason they dont make them anymore
14:05 captain macabre from plastic apocalypse!!
I can't find the air fix paratroop set (I think that's how you spell it) and I have a few fake ones and I'm hoping to get the original
. Anyone have any ideas where I could find any in 2024?
Nice one I use a group of army men for each colour
Green : airfix paratrooper,matchbox American infantry, cheap Chinese army men
Tan : airfix paratrooper, matchbox American infantry , Us marines , cheap Chinese army men and small 3cm army men
Grey: airfix paratrooper
Blue : airfix paratrooper
I loved it and I just got Tim Mee army men for R 962 I am from Shouh-Africa
Hi I'm new here. So I was wondering where did you get the first soldier design. In my country I only have the bizzare soldier so yeah
Bizaro soldeirs are good
For timmee, Check amazon, but amazon doesnt work for me so at your own risk.
Good luck. If you realy want good quality army men, timmee or even the toy story army men are great
Good luck
very jealous of the artillery gun in the background
I did have an original standing rifleman??i remember cause it sucked when his bayonet bent..maybe it was rare?
Hey i have 11 large soilders i have the 2021 version and there small i got alot of men but im oredering your fav army
I have the German matchbox guys and I *LOVE* them so much! Best figures I have and I wanna get American
Me too. Most of my collection is filled with the German guys.
@@anubhabrakshit4340 Im trying to get american, so im making my germans colored to american vietnam era since i need more machine gun dudes
@@Husk2280 cool and my friend also colored his guys too but I actually had a lot of machine men but lost a lot of them as we moved to a different place. Its depressing and I gotta either color them or get new Americans.
