Plastic Army Men and others!
 

Hello everyone I'm new to the boards! I love action figures and I collect many different lines such as GIJOE, Nintendo figures, Kenner Terminator, Marvel, Lego and more! I also love vintage toys. One of my vintage collecting passions is plastic army men! Here is some of the best pics of my collection.

Amazing how such a simple thing gave us so much enjoyment,had tons of these as a kid of course,I remember later on having bigger versions,maybe 5 inches tall? My 10 yr old Godson has a ton of the army men he uses with his Godzilla.Lots of great memories!

I don't have any vintage. But I have seen some cool ones in the store now that look like fun. Something like Zombies, pirates, army men all in tubes for $5 or so...

Like these!
Found these at Target on friday but I didnt buy them. Kept thinking about them till today. They enticed me because of their nostalgic feel. They reminded me of monsters in my pocket. While the Soldier molds arent great, the monsters are cool. Came with 8 of each mold, 96 figures total. They also had a Ninja vs. Robot tube.

Wow! I thought I had a lot of army men. My favorite is actually the gunman from the 1960s James Bond 007 Scalextric race set. Sorry, no pics on me at the moment.

Those are cool! I will have to check Target, as I have been looking for them lately and can only find cheaper ones at Walmart now. Ones that look like they are using about half the plastic as those. I shouldn't have passed them up when I saw them before...

Most of these army men were bought in the past year. A few VERY lucky thrift store finds, a few eBay and website buys, and two very awesome online forum trades.

As for the target ones, they are usually on the toy endcap facing the baby stuff.

I just found the Target ones yesterday, same as you pictured above. Thanks for the tip! There was actually a different company that made some as well, Imperial I believe. Which had Zombies vs Zombie Responders. Though they were just basic green army men. These ones I have now look to be a lot cooler. There was another container there of Robots v Ninjas. I left it for the time being, but might go back and snag it :)

That Alien one is very neat.

Picked up the Ninja vs. Robots

Hey Defzombie This is cool! How can you manage to collect so many. I am not an avid collector but are sure to inspire me to collect more of these. You have a huge collection.

Some of this is childhood collection, but most of it came from the thrift store and also from fellow members of other forums who know I collect this stuff. I have also acquired some great pieces off of eBay. Most of this stuff is also vintage (pre 1980), but there is newer stuff too. It takes a lot of research to determine vintage vs 90s made in China stuff. There is some amazing plastic army men/cowboys/indians that are 40-50 years old.

Saw this pic on facebook and thought of this thread, lol. :)

Lol love it!
Got some Marx recast cowboys/miners from eBay for less than $10 shipped.

Been quite a dry spell lately with everything including plastic army soldiers, but this last Tuesday at the thrift store I hit the jackpot! Not as big as my score last year that the same thrift store but still awesome. Several bags of vintage, army men, cowboys and so forth. All for $15

Modern Elite Force Bucket of Army Men from Target. These are hard to find. They are similar to old Tim Mee poses, but most are original. They look like modern soldiers with modern weapons.
