My dad grew up in this era, it's where I got my love for army men from. He had the desert fox playset and I still have some of the figures/vehicles from it to this day! Love these videos of playsets
Just wanted to thank you for recommending the SCS WWII 200 army men set! I've been painting a set of them and I'm blown away by the detail for the price! So fun to paint!
I saved my money for months to by that set when I was 10 or 11. I payed around $5.oo for it .around 1970 . The most played with toy I owned next to my "fort apache " being second most ...still have most of both sets well into my adult hood .cool seeing this set on UTube
Merry Christmas! Was going through my Reddit comments and came across the channel again, remember back when you mentioned the 200 sub special lol How time flies, GGs on 2.4k!
This to date is my favorite armymen sets I still have mine from 1963 I traded a extra German soldier set for two tank 51s a few years ago I recently saw one bay that just one tank 51 went for 300 dollars I guess when my grandson gets a little older I will pass them down to him when he can appreciate them and take care of them like I did by the way I love your vidios keep on making them !
My buddy had that set when I was a kid, and I had the "Iwo Jima" one with the tan Japanese soldiers. Maybe I missed it, but you don't seem to have my favorite American guy - which was a tripod-mounted heavy machine gunner (we called it a set-up machine gun when I was a kid). Also you asked about the tank. It appears to represent an M-26 Pershing, or perhaps a Korean War M-46 Patton (which was nearly identical). My buddy's German set came with tanks (representing Panthers) and trucks, too.
HURRAY!!!! I finally got my soldiers, they came yesterday afternoon, cost me nearly £300 altogether. I now have all the colours of the rainbow including pink ones too.
Marx products have probably become one of my favorites as I've gotten deeper into collecting, along with Tim Mee as they're the ones I grew up playing with the most. I recently picked up a complete Marx 1950's Fort Apache for my Dad for Christmas, and seeing his reaction was priceless as he'd been talking about having it as a kid for as long as I can remember. There's just something so cool about the Marx playsets and the neat variety of accessories and details they include. They're a little pricey for me to go looking for too often, BUT, the Marx Battleground set is definitely one I want to add to the pile one of these days.
I'm looking foreword to your next video. I always look forewords to them I must say. Your channel is my favourite on YT. I'm thinking of starting up my own toy army men channel!!!!
I received my Normans and Viking in the last couple of days, I'm still waiting for my Zulus, Ninjas, English civil war soldiers and and my BMC toys hoard. Next time I will be getting some blue American revolutionary soldiers and some Spanish vs US soldiers!!!! I'll let you know when they are delivered!!!!
I'm waiting for a really big order from BMC toys and I'm also waiting for my order of Ninjas, Normans and Zulus too. I'm also going to buy some English civil war soldiers, both round heads and cavaliers. I've been anticipating your new video, thanks for uploading it.
Marx battleground play sets debuted in 1958 and last Marx battleground play set sold was 1984 as a Marx product 1982 Louis Marx passed away the Toy King of the worlds largest toy manufacture featured in Time magazine 1955.
Hey Plastic Commander! I just recently discovered your channel and just had to subscribe, your videos are a major nostalgia trip for me! This might seem like a weird question, but in your travels and collecting have you ever come across ninja army men? When I was little back in the 80s I distinctly remember having two sets of different styles of ninjas. One set was ninjas with swords molded in black fighting samurai molded in grey. They were all slightly smaller than your average army men that come in those Timmee packs, but were pretty detailed. The other set were a little larger, but less detailed and were molded in black, white, and grey. They had a bunch of different poses with different weapons like bows, staffs, swords, and nunchuks. Does any of this sound familiar? I've tried scouring google and ebay, but I can't find much information and a lot of searches get muddled due to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle line.
In the 2010’s I know imperial made ninjas of various sizes, they weren’t these were they? www.ebay.com/itm/195959019679?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=QMJRvzcpQs6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=NvMMPiLqQnO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I know exactly which ninjas you're talking about! I used to find bags of them at a flea market in my town, and played with them all the time. I also haven't seen them again since, but I'm happy someone else knows of them! Finally! Lol
