- In part two of this series we explore a variety of collectible accessories of the classic military toys of yesteryear.
I would like to express heartfelt gratitude for all the interest, participation and subscribers generated by the first video of this series. Your support serves as encouragement which will lead to more and higher quality videos of this nature. In case anyone noticed, the old army shirt I am wearing belonged to my grandfather, who is one of the main reasons I became interested in military history and collecting. It was one of the many items he kept from World War II. A series on those items will be produced.
How awesome, I collect toy armies too! I thought I was unusual for being an adult into collecting soldiers, until I had a YT channel!!!!

have you ever come accross a cheap plastic made in hong kong ford gpa amphibean ww2 jeep? i have one from my childhood from the eighties, but never saw another one of those
Good video of MPC toy products I have this box set but in better shape then the one shown here. MPC copied Peco figures in the 50's made them smaller and cheaper then what Peco was priced at that time which was 29 cents a piece. The accessories idea was new then but children had a penchant for losing them so they ended up with just the ring hand soldiers.
do you take requests for videos? i would like to see a comparson of all the different models of military jeep toys
I could probably do that. My uncle has the jeeps I don’t. One of my favorite ones is the model with the driver molded in. I think it’s Auburn.
@@CollectorChronicles that'd be nice, whenever you feel like it...different model and size comparison would be informative...yes, auburn is nice...thanks!
The skinny army men were from a mail order in the back of 60 and early 70 comic books
I have the army car but metal
Please can you send this to me
I think you’re wrong on that tank you called a motorized gun. Turrets that went 360’ were tanks. Gun carriers turrets didn’t. Most didn’t have machine guns. Check me on that.
It’s likely a fictitious vehicle but you’re right there is a distinction. There are modern self propelled howitzers with revolving turrets however. Admittedly I think in terms of World War 2 German terminology, for example an assault gun versus a self propelled gun. Assault gun crews wore field grey panzer uniforms and were panzer soldiers but armor with revolving turrets strictly had crews that (officially) wore black panzer uniforms. Self propelled gun crews wore standard military uniforms as though they were manning a field piece. Obviously no one cares about any of this but me and this is often an evolving subject.
Basically I didn’t view that vehicle as a “tank” because the turret is set so far back and the artillery piece has a barrel oriented similar to long range artillery like a self propelled gun.
@@CollectorChronicles Thanks for the information.
@@tomheringer No problem, thanks for stopping by! 🫡
