I have a set of WW2 army men where the Japanese are a lime green like the one you showed, but the British in that set were Tan and the Americans Green, Germans Grey
oh my god..... i played with these in the 90s. i guess because of the history, we never or very rarely had japanese army men....never thought they were made like that....
There are also you didn't mention are the Cowboys and Indian(native American)figures because Marx toys and Timmee toys made the Indian(Native American) Red until around I think 2010 Timmee change the indian color red to brown instead to avoid racism against native American community
I actually have a bunch of those vintage 1/35 scale tim mee figures and they come in a variety of colors. Both those and their line of 1/32 knock off airfix figures come in yellow, red, green, blue and many more. Fort West did have figures in specifically red and yellow, but both the cowboys and Indians share the two colors fairly equally in most sets.
I think the colours come from the uniforms in WWII! The Tan are supposed to be Japanese, the Green are American, the blue are Russian and the grey are Germans! Not sure what the British, Canadian, French, Italian and others are supposed to be though. In the Army men games you have 4 teams, Tan, Green , Grey and Blue. I have some of the Army men games by 3DO! My favourite is army men toys in space! I think I saw one in the background of you're vidoes.
@@CasualChairEnjoyer I have every colour but oranges from BMC toys! I do have some red and yellow soldiers too. I got a big bag of soldiers for Christmas last year, I was really happy to receive them. I'm a man of simple taste. I'm not really bothered with big expensive stuff. If I ever win the lottery I want some one to make me some gold silver bronze and lead soldiers. I'll go to a jewellers to get them to make me some.
@@CasualChairEnjoyer I think the red are British because of the red coat army back in the imperial days. also red is a typical colour for British institutions such as the Royal mail. Our post boxes and older phone boxes are red, the Kings guards wear a lot of red. When we ruled the empire our maps were marked with pink to highlight our territories over seas, not quite sure why they chose pink instead of typical red though. Did you know McDonald's are now doing a temporary cheesy cheese burger, Mr big cheese? I LOVE cheese!!!!
No creo que una empresa actualmente se atreva a fabricar figuras de plástico amarillo con temática oriental, a no ser que sea una empresa pequeña o independiente, y que sepa ocultarse bien en caso de represalias, solo es una opinión.
And also I thought the reason why japanese army men are tan/yellow is because of their uniforms
You thought those were bad. I saw a set based off of Somolian Rebels and one of the figures was a child soldier.
The most offensive in my collection is a SS soldier performing the Nazi salute by Marx
I think i speak for all of us... SHOW IT IN YOUR CHANNEL GOD DAMNIT!
only in the 1950s😂

This is a reupload of yesterday’s video with some audio adjustments.
I'm a wargamer and want to get into the combat storm game that uses army men and this is really cool.
Will watch again bud. Glad for tbe title update.
These colours are pleasing to the algorithm
When I was 10 I used to like the greens but now I like the tans and grey.

Persinalmente pienso que el color naranja le queda mejor a los nativos americanos que el rojo.
Actualmente ¿como crees que una empresa crearia ese tipo de soldaditos políticamente incorrectos?
Like the bob ross of the armeymen community- heart emoji
“Here we have some happy little airfix paratroopers.”

You also have red and yellow sometimes

I always thought that
Green=American
Yellow=British
Brown=Russia
Grey=German
Blue=french
Tan=Japanese
Pink=Canadian
olive green=italian
Que opinas de los soldaditos rojos? Pueden representar a Rusia y China aparte es el color contrario al verde.
Is for army men are😊

I had the Japanese figures since middle school and the moulds well..... Didn't age good.
Have you cosplayed as an army dude before?
Nah, don’t want to get called out for stolen valor.
I think he means a plastic army man
Marxs oversized army men are some of my favorite tbh
they look more tan than yellow
Japanesse uniforms were kinda yellow
si una empresa creara figuras de plástico con temática de terroristas de medio oriente de color amarrillo ¿seria ofensivo?
Are you on the devils lettuce?
Probably
As a racist i can confirm.
If the figure offends you, throw it out.
What? 😂😂 when did I say it offended me personally? I just said it was an offensive caricature of a Japanese person from the time period.
funny because marx is from china
