I'm from a third world country, and this bucket, would be equivalent of a treasure chest, filled with gold, back when we were 5-10 yo. Most of us had at most 10 plastic soldiers and we used them as some sort of a currency, or a barter piece: "Hey, if you'll be as the goalkeeper (goalkeeper wasn't fun in the eyes of the most), I'd give you that toy soldier you wanted" - or something like that. I remember when my grandma got me a pack of like 20 soldiers some day. The reaction the boys had was like the adults would have if someone pulled up in a Bugatti. Good times. The last generation with childhood without computers (i was born in 1998)

It's quite interesting to see that this kind of box never include USSR soldiers, like they were not involved in war... Amazing when you know that 80% of german divisions were destroyed on eastern front.

[@denroy3]

Not really, this is directed at an American buying public. The Western Front, the Pacific, N.Africa was where Americans did the fighting...they were never linked with Russian troops. You are inventing an issue that doesn't exist. There are also no Indian troops, Australian...etc. But, there are Russian troops and Australian troops available but they aren't big sellers. Do you understand business? Capitalism?

The Airfix and Matchbox older models are still the best.

[@SlumberBear2k]

it's amazing how long they've been using those molds. I remember getting a bag of those japanese soldiers in 1990 or 1991 (the molds were much higher quality back then, btw but still probably decades old even then). However, my set didn't have nearly as many poses. Weird how that is. you'd think they'd just have all of the poses but lots of times if i see toy soldiers they'll have a fraction of the poses from the set. And often they'll have like multiple officers or some weird unusable pose.

[@khyronkravshera7774]

These are cheap Chinese knockoffs of the old sculpts. They aren't using the original molds, they just made a simple mold using existing soldiers. That's why they don't have the details the originals had.

​@@andymoore9977 You're right, looking closely I didn't see Airfix among them, I grew up in the 70's playing with a mix of Airfix, Tim Lee and Atlantic copies made by Gulliver (who makes them to this day, but no longer using the beautiful art-inspired boxes at Atlantic)

Most of these moulds are from the matchbox range in the uk,the British 8th army set in particular.

[@matiasfralasco]

The stop motion moment when he shows the position and simulate battles it's EXACTLY how I imagined as a child, shit I'd love to image like that again. Recently I bought some soldiers but I haven't the same imagination as before

[@TheMeanActor]

I got this bundle (same molds) a decade and a half ago. The Japanese are my favorite. I always imagined the surrendering pose was them treking through swampy, waist high water.

[@chasesheridan3109]

And then they charge through enemy lines with bayonets destroying most of the enemies protection with the bayonet poses

[@jschex123]

I have a bunch of figures from WW2 museum in New Orleans, where I live. It was an Iwo Jima set they sold when I was like 10. These bring me back.

I've got one similar to this, I have red blues tan and green. Japan, Britain, Germany and the US! I quite like my soldiers. Amazon sell parachute soldiers, they come in packs of 10 with 5 colours! You can also visit BMC toys online for a variety of WWII based soldiers and tanks! If you like soldiers you may enjoy the Army Men games by 3DO/ Army men toys in space is my favourite. You can also go to car boot sales as people often sell their kids old army figures for a small fee!

[@David_Theisen]

I’m 51 years old and I play with my army men like they were football or rugby players!! Not all the time but every now and then! Not married or dating, just have a good amount of spare time! Does that sound weird to anyone? But yeah I use 100 army men, and I call it “Feeding Frenzy” cuz it’s a lot like a shark feeding frenzy!!! LOL I have fun with them! The average amount in each pile is between 50 and 60!!

[@generalprithvi470]

[@refealibazeta7886]

The Timmy soldiers you showed where the vietnam era soldiers. I have the old 60's Timmy WW2 U.S soldiers with the medic crew of nurse ,Dog and the 2 medics carrying a wounded soldier on a stretcher. TSSD and CTS are the best ones I think. They are very well sculptured and detailed. Expensive tho.

[@napstopmotion8870]

I wonder why they would make poses of Japanese surrendering 😂 Great video by the way!

[@ArmyStopmotions]

Yah idk either they never would’ve surrendered

[@DrMosseeay]

I don't think they were explicitly surrendering. They could be crossing a lake and wanted to keep their rifles outside of the water, or this could of been a melee stance. Either way, it mostly comes down to your imagination.

[@DiviAugusti]

I thought those figures were crossing water.

[@George-pp2hr]

That's a lot of soldiers. I've seen buckets of soldiers before but nothing like those. I remember most figures and poses from back mid 1970s. I had the Airfix Matchbox and lots of copy reproductions that were purchased in clear pkt plastic bags at the local milk Bar and chemist or drug store if you like and News Agency and of course in Store toy department The animation is pretty good. Well presented.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️.

The british are all in african/italian campaign uniforms. The americans have all the same uniform essentially, you could say those are for all the periods in the war. That's what timeline they represent.

[@buzzerbeater9522]

@@unoqualunque993 ok, maybe I am wrong but somehow it looks kind of strange to me. The first guy is using an English Enfield rifle, ok that's maybe because it's late war. Some helmets looks like american helmets as far as I can see. The mp40 does not look that correct and what's the mg the guy laying on the floor is using with its Magazin up on it. Also an English one I guess. And why are they using our modern flag and not the old one from nazi Germany?

He has divided them into Allie's and Evil Enemies. He has an imagination. Allies Green Timmee = American Tan Timmee and British = British Japanese = Japanese, after 70+ years and Godzilla movies are now in the Allie's WW2 Dark Green = Canadian WW2 Light Green (this style) = Australia and New Zealand Blue Timmee = SHIELD White Timmee = Israel (recent addition, doesn't have a lot of them, bought Red, White, and Blue from a Toy Company with his own Birthday money) Evil Enemies Grey Timmee and German = Arab Coalition Red Timmee = North Korea Black Timmee = Cuba Pink Timmee = Hydra (because it's the sissy color) Maroon Russian = Russian Special: Allies have a half dozen Super Heroes including Superman, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Batman Evil Enemies have 25 or so Dinosaurs, mostly T-Rex and Raptors that he got an Dollar store he buys a Dinosaur or 2 every time he goes there.
