I had a LOT of those MPC Union Soldiers as a kid. My friends and I used to set them up and have them battle the natives... in outdoor gravel driveways. We would throw rocks at them, our cannon fire I guess you could say. Good Times!!!!!
I remember bags of Russian and German soldiers for sale at a long gone toy store by my house; I had these guys until I was obliged to give them away because of a meaningless number on my birth certificate. I always had a problem with the charging guy who held his rifle in that weird way.
Very informative video! Yep, I can remember back in my childhood days.........those MPC Russians were as common as Topp's Bubblegum Cards. You could buy bag after bag of them-----but today they're as rare as Donald Trump admitting he did anything wrong (lol---sorry for the political comment). As for the MPC Union Cavalry guys I always meant to buy them but so far haven't. Glad to see they are available as re-issues though. I like the fact that MPC kept the rifles/carbines short on these guys; Marx had rifles on their Civil War figures that were excessively long, even if historically-accurate, in my opinion. I think a few years back they reissued the MPC Ring-Hand Soldiers but unfortunately it was in a stiff plastic, not like the originals. I HATE when they do that. They did the same thing with the Marx German Vehicle set----HARD plastic. LOOK, you manufacturers out there, there's an old saying; ANYTHING WORTH DOING IS WORTH DOING RIGHT. So get off the money kick and start concentrating on QUALITY.
A large amount of my collection comes from eBay, thrift stores, and flea markets. BMC makes excellent remakes of Tim Mee and other figures from the past. You can find pretty much all of them on eBay just make sure you don’t get scammed.
