Sept 25th, 2019 : Little Green Army Men
Miniature toy solders were cast in lead, zinc, or tin then painted in the uniform desired. These were challenged in about 1938 by
plastic soldiers. During The Big One, WW II, the metal toys came to a screeching halt while the plastics took over the market and never looked back. The biggest advantages were you could buy a bucket full for cheap and they were practically indestructible. I'm sure future paleontologists will find plenty of them. http://cellar.org/img/Army Man 1.jpg As time went on in addition to men with standard weapons you could also get men with specialized tools, different colors, even men doing yoga for god’s sake. How about cuff links with little green army men. I hope the bottom cuff link is a pump shotgun because it’s going to take some pumping to straighten out the barrel. The key word in all this is men, but Vivian didn’t want men, Vivian wanted women... and not pink. http://cellar.org/img/army man 2.jpg Quote:
Maybe the thoughts of what weird and perverted things little boys do with/to these things gave him pause. But they’re in the pipeline Vivian, be patient. link |
All the little Army guys I recall seeing have had their extremities chewed up by toddlers. I have never seen Army guys that pristine.

Mine ran into gasoline and fire crackers... Oh that pre-helmet world.

If you lite them on fire and hold them up they make a neat sound as the plastic drips down.

See now, that's why I said he may have had second thoughts about sending army ladies out into the world. :yesnod:

A little Viagra for the cuff link dude please.
I'd like one figure each of a general in a canoe, the general I met with his head up his ass and a younger one who has a valor medal he didn't earn burning a hole in his uniform. |
