It's quite interesting to see that this kind of box never include USSR soldiers, like they were not involved in war... Amazing when you know that 80% of german divisions were destroyed on eastern front.
Not really, this is directed at an American buying public. The Western Front, the Pacific, N.Africa was where Americans did the fighting...they were never linked with Russian troops. You are inventing an issue that doesn't exist. There are also no Indian troops, Australian...etc. But, there are Russian troops and Australian troops available but they aren't big sellers. Do you understand business? Capitalism?
I'm from a third world country, and this bucket, would be equivalent of a treasure chest, filled with gold, back when we were 5-10 yo. Most of us had at most 10 plastic soldiers and we used them as some sort of a currency, or a barter piece: "Hey, if you'll be as the goalkeeper (goalkeeper wasn't fun in the eyes of the most), I'd give you that toy soldier you wanted" - or something like that. I remember when my grandma got me a pack of like 20 soldiers some day. The reaction the boys had was like the adults would have if someone pulled up in a Bugatti. Good times. The last generation with childhood without computers (i was born in 1998)
that brings to me too many flashbacks of my childhood, i used to play with my dad, unfortunately he passed away a few years ago, i'll never forget those moments
it's amazing how long they've been using those molds. I remember getting a bag of those japanese soldiers in 1990 or 1991 (the molds were much higher quality back then, btw but still probably decades old even then). However, my set didn't have nearly as many poses. Weird how that is. you'd think they'd just have all of the poses but lots of times if i see toy soldiers they'll have a fraction of the poses from the set. And often they'll have like multiple officers or some weird unusable pose.
These are cheap Chinese knockoffs of the old sculpts. They aren't using the original molds, they just made a simple mold using existing soldiers. That's why they don't have the details the originals had.
@@andymoore9977 You're right, looking closely I didn't see Airfix among them, I grew up in the 70's playing with a mix of Airfix, Tim Lee and Atlantic copies made by Gulliver (who makes them to this day, but no longer using the beautiful art-inspired boxes at Atlantic)
@@ArmyStopmotions I made this stopmotion in my channel its called "silver men find a virus" If you want to watch it its on my channel And please tell me what you think of it!!! Thanks a lot
The stop motion moment when he shows the position and simulate battles it's EXACTLY how I imagined as a child, shit I'd love to image like that again. Recently I bought some soldiers but I haven't the same imagination as before
I got this bundle (same molds) a decade and a half ago. The Japanese are my favorite. I always imagined the surrendering pose was them treking through swampy, waist high water.
That's a lot of soldiers. I've seen buckets of soldiers before but nothing like those. I remember most figures and poses from back mid 1970s. I had the Airfix Matchbox and lots of copy reproductions that were purchased in clear pkt plastic bags at the local milk Bar and chemist or drug store if you like and News Agency and of course in Store toy department The animation is pretty good. Well presented.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️.
I’m 51 years old and I play with my army men like they were football or rugby players!! Not all the time but every now and then! Not married or dating, just have a good amount of spare time! Does that sound weird to anyone? But yeah I use 100 army men, and I call it “Feeding Frenzy” cuz it’s a lot like a shark feeding frenzy!!! LOL I have fun with them! The average amount in each pile is between 50 and 60!!
I've got one similar to this, I have red blues tan and green. Japan, Britain, Germany and the US! I quite like my soldiers. Amazon sell parachute soldiers, they come in packs of 10 with 5 colours! You can also visit BMC toys online for a variety of WWII based soldiers and tanks! If you like soldiers you may enjoy the Army Men games by 3DO/ Army men toys in space is my favourite. You can also go to car boot sales as people often sell their kids old army figures for a small fee!
A nicely detailed review: the scale comparison with Tim Mee figures, and showing differences between the old and new versions of US and German soldiers are particularly useful.
I don't think they were explicitly surrendering. They could be crossing a lake and wanted to keep their rifles outside of the water, or this could of been a melee stance. Either way, it mostly comes down to your imagination.
I couldn't find them but I found this one on Amazon that had American armys and germen armys and British armys so thank u for posting this vid because It got me this idea
5:39 is there any way to get that general guy 1st to the right in green? I need a green general for my army because I have a tan general and a grey general
@@rafaelmacias9979 I’ve gotten a knockoff version of it in green before at an arcade but there’s no official set. The pose is based off Matchbox’ British 8th Army. You’d probably would have to paint it green yourself. The easiest for me is using spray enamel paint since it isn’t too heavy and seeps into all the details and then a coating of clear glossy spray paint.
The Timmy soldiers you showed where the vietnam era soldiers. I have the old 60's Timmy WW2 U.S soldiers with the medic crew of nurse ,Dog and the 2 medics carrying a wounded soldier on a stretcher. TSSD and CTS are the best ones I think. They are very well sculptured and detailed. Expensive tho.
Do you recomend buying this one? Like I mostly have Airfix soldiers and Idk, do you think they will fit well with the other soldiers? I dont mean size I mean like details and everything
@@montsegallegodeossorno9578 the height of the soldiers is good. The scale of the guns is a little weird though, Airfix guns look more realistic compared to these oversized guns.
Is there anyplace anymore to get those green army men? I think they are Timtee brand ones!! One pose is a guy standing and it looks like a small tommy gun or something like that?? I don’t know what the different poses are!
@@ArmyStopmotions I’ve gotten I think 4 or 3 of those buckets myself!! The one I call a Tommy gun is called the “grease gun” LOL forgot about ones that hold the flamethrowers!!! LOL I even have some minesweeper guys too
I bought the same bucket and i just received my soldiers and they are great but i have noticed that the soldiers feel hollow and some kind of empty from inside do you have that as well with your soldiers ?
@@buzzerbeater9522 the japanese are all periods of the war, they always had problems with uniform supply, so you could see soldiers wearing old uniforms even in the 45, some germans are afrika korps, and some wear the m43 hat, some have the mg42, but except those you could say all the rest you could see it even in the end of the war. The british are all in african/italian campaign uniforms. The americans have all the same uniform essentially, you could say those are for all the periods in the war.

@@unoqualunque993 ok, maybe I am wrong but somehow it looks kind of strange to me. The first guy is using an English Enfield rifle, ok that's maybe because it's late war.

Also an English one I guess. And why are they using our modern flag and not the old one from nazi Germany?

And then they charge through enemy lines with bayonets destroying most of the enemies protection with the bayonet poses
Dude, that bucket of army men was the coolest I’ve ever seen with the divider and I love the flags
I lost many of my plastic soldiers during the Great Firecracker Wars of 1964-65. Sad indeed.
Some gave all, all gave some.
Jajaja 👊💥🇲🇽
Jajajaj the best comentary!
a lot of good plastic was buried in those streets... but one will never forget the sacrifice they made to keep our childhood alive.
Most of mine became casualties of asshole younger brother during the I was away at college offensive.
wicked cool ! would have bugged my parents non- stop for these when i was a kid !
I had almost all of them here in Brazil in the 70s and 80s. I miss them so much.
I have a bunch of figures from WW2 museum in New Orleans, where I live. It was an Iwo Jima set they sold when I was like 10. These bring me back.
