Marx Battleground Playset: Iggy's 200th Video Episode!

[@davidmiller5724]

this was a grate set I had this wish I still had this

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I think almost all of it is being reproduced, but it can get a little costly if done all at once. You can even get a box for it too.

[@wwolfe1478]

Great video Iggers, congrats on 200 and hope to see many many more.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

More to come!

[@ronaldmcdonald8303]

I want to get some Marx soldiers now! I really like you're videos, I watch the plastic commanders channel sometimes and others too! I have been sorting out my parachute men. I re-attached the parachute to the figurine, I added all the colours of the rainbow to one of them. They look pretty cool! I'm hopefully getting my package from Scranton PA in the post some day soon. I still have a few items I want to get off BMC toys, such as the tree sets!

It sounds like you will have a battleground very soon!

@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 Yes, I already do!! I also collect a small collection of police figurines too. Did you know that some security guards have special forces training? I'm looking for some armed security figurines for my collection, I already have a small guard but I cant seem to find many online, the forgotten army My friend Vicky texted me saying she has bought some army men for me, I wonder what she got?

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

This is the set that got me going. I wish I had bought some others back in the day when they were very affordable. I guess I wouldn't be human without regrets!

@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 I recall happily playing with my small airfix soldiers in the garden as a 7 year old. I made forts out of stones and pebbles, could be in that garden (battlefield) for hours!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I wonder how many soldiers are still buried in the garden?

Congratulations on your 200th vid iggy, keep them coming mate :)

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

You have been there for most if not all of it! Thanks!

[@carlclink9993]

That’s awesome Iggy! Wish I still had my stuff from the day. Funny I totally missed this video until today.

[@davidmiller5724]

I like the painted peaces

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Thank you. I was trying to keep it looking like a toy instead of a realistic model so it would work with the other stuff.

[@MACEWINDULastJedi]

Con Gats! On your 200th vid! I like how you have the GI. leaving the raft, and the German motorcycle guy is cool! Nice barbwire, and the guy getting shot, and his helmet flying off is one of the most gruesome toy soldiers I've seen.The guy who was upset about your first Un, Unboxing, needs to start his own Unboxing videos! Maybe he can film his Unboxing of his McDonalds Happy meal, with the littlest Mermaid figure in it! That might cheer him up!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Thank you!... As for the guy I made unhappy I don't think he stuck around very long!

[@MiguelGonzalez-vh9gw]

I remember these back in 1974 1975 n 1976 so cool . But know i have a collection of 1/ 72 scale Army's .

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

1/72 gives you more room to set up your battles!

[@foghatrocks]

I like the Dark Gray German soldiers and vehicles way better than the light gray ones. Probably because that is what I had as a kid.

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Nostalgia is a very powerful force! I think we all like what we had as a kid better. I have some medium, dark, aqua and steel blue fort Apache figures and I like them all, but powder blue is my favorite because that is what I remember as a kid!

I still have my originals from about 1964. My brother tried painting many of the pieces in the early '70s. You know, with the glossy paints in little square bottles?

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

Don't throw them out! I did that with my civil war soldiers and regretted it. I will ask my friend Doug how to get the paint off safely and get back to you in that

[@mh53j]

@@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092 oh no, not throwing them out! I have some paint remover I use with plastic models but never tried it. Would like to hear what you find out. My uncle that was at Pearl Harbor was present when my brother and I got the set. He said it came with everything but the smell.... Dad was in the Marines during Korea. I remember him modifying the jeeps by mounting the recoilless rifles in them!

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

My friend Doug suggested that you put them into cleanser filled with *409" into can, bucket, jar etc. And put the figures in for 3 days shake the container every so often. Then after soaking them scrub lightly with a tooth brush repeat if needed. Paint stripper or other chemicals is bad for plastic and you can lose derails

[@olivier3847]

how do you tell the difference between the marines and army figures?

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

That is a good question. Mostly by the poses since they look so similar otherwise.

[@ewmhop]

YOUR BROTHER MIGHT BE THINKING ABOUT TIMMEE GERMANS,AS THERE WERE A LOTS OF TOY COMPANIES MAKING TOY SOLDIERS AT THAT TIME. MY BROTHERS AND I BOUGHT AS MANY AS WE COULD TO GO WITH THE MARX SETS.TAKE CARE

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I remember those. We had so much available to us at the 5 & Dime store, back in those days, didn't we? I really miss those days! I use to love getting a bottle of Orange Crush, a Hostess cherry pie and a red licorice vine to enjoy while shitting on the floor with my toy soldiers!

We never had marx persay as I remember in australia when I was a kid back in the late 60's upto the mid 70's but I do remember other cheap,awful moulded,chinese or hong kong made plastic ww2 soldiers of diffent,odd scales,plus out of scale,poorly detailed vehicles that weren't even loosley close to actual vehicles those countries even produced?,cheap & nasty,but as kids we didn't really care as you say?,Airfix were always streets ahead in the 1/72,1/76 & 1/32 scale figure sets in my books,I had a diecast metal luger cap gun that could almost pass as a real pistol it was well detailed my sister got me for Xmas once I remember,also a very realistic post war self loading rifle the british & commonwealth used in their armed forces upto the 1980's, & a all plastic SMLE,1903 model rifle,with diecast operating bolt action with plastic bullet in the breech & detachable Lee Enfield short magazine that I also got for various Xmas' I remember

[@iggystoyparadesoldierrevie1092]

I love all these memories you shared! I have one of those Lee Metford (or is it Lee Enfield?) I think it was madei. Spain? Anyway, you may have missed out on Marx, but Airfix soldiers were much better than Marx. We had some difficulty getting the 54mm figures, but we had the 25mm ones. I wish I still had Luger cap gun. That was so cool! It is sad that the only toy soldiers left in stores now are those awful Chinese knockoffs. How ironic
