Thrifted! Three Decades of Toy Army Men Found at Thrift Stores!

[@WMARUoriginal]

So glad I found this channel. I grew up in the late 70s/early 80s and it felt like a great time for toy soldiers. I remember really huge box sets that ranged from large bunkers/tank battles, western themed forts, medieval castles, etc. I was also lucky enough to have a good amount of the Britans Deetails figures which I treasured. I would hunt through every random plastic soldier bag I came across in stores to see if they had new molds I'd never seen or how good the details were. Getting back into the hobby now, it does feel like there are still some good products, it just takes time to find the hidden gems. Keep up the great work!

I had the boxed WW2 battle of Navarone mountain set, huge toy with tons of accessories 😂

[@camcordernonsense5264]

I loved those little castles. the tops came off. There were little static figures in them. 83? Maybe. I have looked them up 3 times, wrote their brand down each time and can never remember the product. Loved them.

​@@user-fq9hj1qo4k that becomes Megos Eagle Mountain?

[@nitromenace1424]

I remember as a kid I had army men based on the gear used in Desert Storm. I’ve been trying to find some more ever since I lost them all.

[@theplasticcommander]

I think you’re thinking of the Jaru modern soldiers. Look up team xtreme army men on eBay and you might see them.

[@nitromenace1424]

@@theplasticcommander thanks man you’re a real one.

[@camcordernonsense5264]

I do wonder how many recyclings a lot of these have gone through. Usually its in the touch the minute you pick it up. Looks cool but something feels different. Then i stop wondering about the decade it came out of and im thrusted to my parents front yard again.

[@Jay87539]

Very cool! I like the thrifted videos. They show a person what may be out there! Great Video.

[@brandonthetoyandgamecollector]

You just earned a subscriber. I love army men style toys, have a whole bunch of them, Star Wars, civil war, cowboys and Indians, Mexicans and Alamo defenders, and the classic green and tan.

We fell asleep in the deuce and halfs during basic training!

[@PattonTheHospitaller]

Excellent video as usual!

[@Lieutenant-star]

If you havent figured out yet the pirates in the 2020 section are from crackel barrel i have some lol

[@PattonTheHospitaller]

24:15 the tan dude with the binoculars is actually a clone of a figure produced by a company called New ray

[@camcordernonsense5264]

Why wont someone produce a lifesize army man blow mold. I want one for my yard? I cant justify buying one but i can justify displaying it.

[@salceda82]

Kmart had a good selection I miss Kmart 😢

[@UrielRamirez-oy6nt]

Absolutely! They used to have most of the Timmee stuff, still remember when the C-130 was on the shelfs....

[@camcordernonsense5264]

Me too

[@user-td4zp4gq2p]

The 99 cent stores in NewYork city have toy Army men but the quality is pretty horrible! They might be good for dead in dioramas!

[@nathanderouen7776]

Looks like world War 3 but a war zone. Super awesome

[@joematerese93]

I just found this channel and I'm complete

[@BaldowFilms]

Congrats for reaching 2k 🎉

[@theplasticcommander]

Thanks!

[@King011Productions]

I can’t find any at thrift stores or regular stores near me. I only found some at an antique store, and thought they were old ones, but they were just 2000s china ones. I need some help

[@salceda82]

My savior miss your videos

[@pepperpg3d]

great video

[@riptheripper9060]

Love the video. Maybe you can upgrade your camera for macro close-up shots, and better lighting to cover your shadow.

[@salceda82]

Do the airfix copies have numbers on the bottom the ones that look like British paratroopers

[@ronaldmcdonald8303]

I've just returned from a holiday in Nottingham, so it's been a while. I spent all my money almost. I managed to find some army men at the holiday resorts shop. If you ever get a PO box I would like to send you some army men from the UK if that's ok with you? Didn't win anything on the Euroes yet, fingers crossed though, I'll try again when the jackpot is big!

[@Supermariowyatt279]

Plastic Commander what do you think is the best army men you can buy right now

[@theplasticcommander]

Hmmm it all depends on where you look. Honestly, BMC toys has been producing some great reproductions of classic Timmee and Marx figures for years and they are more than affordable so I’d say them.

[@Supermariowyatt279]

[@user-tx5oz8by1g]

So we're not going to talk about the fact of those little bags of army man we're not going to talk about the fact that they're slowly being suffocated in that bag

[@ChileanWagner.777]

Does anyone know any Discord server about army men and how to join?

[@garysmith5641]

weird that it only seems to be american army when Americans buy toy soldiers , did they not make any other like Airfix ?

[@user-fq9hj1qo4k]

Only single guys can do this.😂

[@AndieArbeit]

I agree that modern vehicles scale is messed up...

[@malikpubg969]

Saya masih kecil dulu perna minta beli mainan perang ini sambil menagis😭. Mak tidak membelikan saya rindu pada saat itu ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@aumnadswu]

@theplasticcomander Hello, You will buy a lot of toy soldiers some day, good sir. Why wouldn't you play with toy soldiers every day? 😢

[@aumnadswu]

Why would adults like to buy some toy soldiers some day?
