ARMY MEN
FTF - Gets A Extra Large Army Man FIgure
The most common kind of Army Man is modeled after the American
Soldier, with the old M1 Steel Helmet. Though particular types
vary, the vast majority represent US troops circa 1941 to 1960. A
later type armed with M-16 rifles has been around since the 1960s.
Most Army Men are molded in green plastic. Those molded in other
colors were done so to represent "enemy" troops.
Army Men were accompanied by an assortment of soft plastic
accessories, vehicles and heavy weapons. These include tanks, M3/M4
half tracks, 105mm howitzers, Jeeps, 2 1/2 ton "deuce and a half"
trucks, pup tents, sandbag emplacements, barbed wire fences, heavy
machine guns, mortars, bazookas and parachutes. The common tank
types include the M26 Pershing heavy tank, M41 "Walker Bulldog"
light tank, M47 Patton tank and M48 Patton Tank. One manufacturer
included an odd type of open personnel carrier that could carry a
missile launcher and an obscure kind of tank destroyer.
Other accessories that might be included were pillboxes (concrete
fortifications), fighter planes, helicopters, small landing craft,
missile launchers and 3/4 ton trucks.
Packed with virtually every set was a paper American flag on a
small wood dowel with a round plastic base.
An odd but common type was the "ring hand", with the soldier's
weapons, field gear and helmets molded separately. These were a
particular brand which were produced in great numbers.
