WW2 Japanese Infantry 1/32 toy soldiers from Italy´s Atlantic. 1970´s vintage green army men.

Not a bad set even though it has few firing poses.

[@christopherfranklin972]

Lee-Enfield rifles captured in Singapore ... amazing that they got the way that the IJA wrapped their puttees correct though. Nice set and upload,thanks.

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Thanks fot watching man.

[@koganinja100]

Got these guys in 1/72 will be fun to paint - the ties are a problem- was trying to work out wether to make them marines and paint on a navy collar or just paint them up as is. Have already painted up Atlantic Russians and teamed them up with Fujimi tanks - look cool and won a Wargame against a German force - so Atlantic troops do work👍🙂 All the best from down under Lewis Sydney 🇦🇺

[@ridhopambudi8503]

Sir, the real price in the online buying and selling market is up to how much U$?🙏🙏🥺

[@ryanvictoria6206]

Awesome review! They are all carrying Lee-Enfield rifles instead of the Arisaka. But when you are a kid back in the 70s and 80s you seldom notice these details.👍🙂

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Thanks man. I agree. Cool fighting poses was way more important than 100% accuracy back when I was a kid.

[@brianwilhelm37]

Although I had some 1/32 soldiers I played with outside, my thing as a kid was always the 1/72 troops and they only got played with inside. Consequently, I still have my collection of over 20,000 men. As far as accuracy goes, the Atlantic Japanese set was terrible but that never bothered me as I always understood that, first and foremost, they were toys. I have a TON of fun memories with my Atlantic Japanese and they always fought in combat just as well as my more accurately dressed and equipped Airfix and Matchbox troops. Also, they looked extra snazzy in the jungle with their ties and neat dress! Thank you for doing these reviews, they alway brighten my day and give me that smile I had as a kid fighting imaginary wars no end!

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Wow that`s some collection.

[@Germanguy6969]

I got 20.000 Soldiers as well. Been collecting for over 40 years. Got sets from: Airfix, Esci, Revell, HäT, Revell, Atlantic, Roco, made in Hong Kong, and some other companies. Just need one of the kids to move out and maybe fight my wife over who gets the room for me to play in. :)

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

@@Germanguy6969 Holy crap.

[@maximillianschonhausen]

Atlantic was always hilarious. One wonders how that worked for them. I mean some guy had to sculpt the figures at some point. Why go through the trouble of inventing ties on Japanese soldiers? Was that Italian sense of humour? Like the tree guy with whole branches with very few leaves? Rayguns and so on. I’m thinking you either do it right, or cut cost by skipping details altogether. But Atlantic kind of always did that - and with their target customer they of course got away with it.

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

I always wonder what the thought process were. Like you say nothing realy makes sence. But I guess that´s why they are so much fun to collect. It´s kinda like the X-files.....the truth is out there lol

[@ronaldmcdonald8303]

I went to Newcastle today and I got myself some Africa corps and 2 WWI planes in a packet a Fokker and another plane!

[@tomsenior7405]

Thank you for another cracking review. Deep Joy. Such a pleasure to see Atlantic figures collected and appreciated. We spurned these solders and dismissed them as naff, when we were children. Maybe we were spoilt? We had Airfix after all. For those who have fond memories of Atlantic, I salute you. Nostalgia can be a wonderful thing, it can help one find one's centre and put a smile on one's face. Thank you again my friend for all the smiles you give me.

[@toysoldier68]

Atlantic figures are so funny 😂😂😂I think the sculptor was stoned😆

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Most likely.

[@frasco1965]

As always, nice review, I love Atlantic like all Italian children of the 70s, the poses were not as beautiful as the Airfix, but my heart beats for Atlantic❤

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

I feel the same. Not being perfect is the charm of Atlantic. Also making sets that one else made at the time is very cool.

[@DrZacsToySoldiers]

If anybody is interested, Gulliver Toys of Brazil makes decent knock offs of most of these Atlantic Japanese poses and a few Airfix poses, in tan and butternut, for about half of what these usually go for on ebay. Just got a set of those, will be comparing them to my own Atlantic set in a review video soon

[@NightmareGbg]

Oh i had this set but could not remember who made them. The Machine gun is probably supposed to be a Type 92 Heavy MG

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

You`re probably right. I guess the Type 92 was an upscaled version in a larger caliber of the Type 3. Still the wrong type of magazine though. But it`s a toy not a model so I guess it works 😁

[@Emdee5632]

I never had Atlantic figures, but compared to some of the other Atlantic sets so far on this amazing channel, this Japanese Infantry seems to be a nice set. The soldier with the weird outgrowth, well that's camouflage of course. The other figures are okay I guess. Maybe they could have made the rifles look a bit more authentic. The only silly thing is the heavy machine gun. It is (sort of) recognizable as the Type 3 or maybe the later Type 92 but it is very crude... Atlantic could have done much better in 1/32 scale.

Tree Guy!!!!

[@wirakusuma7353]

Hai bung jual ke Indonesia😅 pasti saya beli

[@manweller1]

They don't look to bad I like em

[@donaldwiller9238]

Great job man the flag man cool 😎 trees 🌳 man😮

[@UrielRamirez-oy6nt]

I’m thinking the guy (or woman) who sculpted this just had a sense of humor OR went off an outdated uniforms of ww2 book

[@UrielRamirez-oy6nt]

Also the machine gun is a type 92, only extremely cartoony

[@IMCproductions]

I like the one with the flag

[@simonbrown9310]

Very nice video. You are right, the rifles don't look like an Arisaka at all. Oh and great choice of music here !!! 😊

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Tried something different with the music.

[@monkeysa43]

Hi have you ever seen the other box of Atlantic soldiers that is very flat and square?

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Yes I think I know the ones you´re talking about.

[@ewmhop]

GOOD VIDEO AND REVIEW SIR,THE ONES WITH TIES ARE GOING TO A FORMAL DRESS BATTLE.HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND TAKE CARE.

Banzai！

[@DrZacsToySoldiers]

SSssssssssssss

[@Plexomoxelp]

Were Atlantic ever sold in Sweden?

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Not that I know of.

[@jessewoods6890]

Just love the channel & your work mate !!! l am just amazed at what such great condition your Atlantic boxes are in. Keep up the great work................Jess From Australia.

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

I just bought this collection about 6 months ago. The seller had bought them to do a book on Atlantic toy soldiers so probably got only pretty good boxes to show in the book.

[@raphaelaraujo4790]

I remember these when a boy and not released for this manufacture, down here Gulliver did, there were 2 additional poses, a kneeling and a machine gunner. Top quality box, seems Sergio Toppi art

[@Germanguy6969]

This set was awesome. I got the 1/72 scale.

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Does that have more poses?

[@Germanguy6969]

@@toysoldiernostalgia They got the same amount of poses.

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

@@Germanguy6969 ok cool.

[@blinxdarkslider]

Can you make up some diaramas? germans vs uk, or america vs japan? Just a little fun showing a battlefield with mixed sets! this channel is awesome! Tell a story... every pose tells a story

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

I will do a huge outdoors set up next spring/summer with a mix of Airfix, Matchbox and Atlantic. But it would be fun to do smaller ones indoor. Thanks for the idea.

[@kiwiworld]

Do you have timme soldiers? If you do how big are they compared to them

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Don`t have any at the moment. I need to start collectin some of the US made toy soldiers.

[@igolfjtweetler4097]

I used to love the bamboo hut they made and setting it up in my grans garden with the Japanese soldiers in it. Then my U.S marines have a battle royale with them. You needed plenty imagination and sound effects. The Banzai and Aieewww cry I used to read in Warlord. Warlord would be banned now heh heh.
