Thanks to At The Queen's Command blog for providing images of some of the soldiers: www.atthequeenscommand.com/?fbclid=IwAR18SyVAM7LZmybUkthLRdd_2r4f1RI_P6B7MW-qN63Tdk-EEygBQPM5JN8

The Timmee toys soldiers originally had a walking/marching pose, but the mold broke sometime in the 80s, and was never fixed

By golly darn, you covered everything but my very favorite pose I can’t seem to find the original artists of the mold, but I have found that a company that makes a kit called “Military Defense Playset” that includes the poses in olive drab and knockoff timmee poses in dark green. It also has 2 M48 Patton tanks in dark green and olive drab. I would put a link in this comment but KZfaq usually marks any comment with a link as spam so I’ll try to reply to this comment with the link

I personally like the poses that come in 1/32 models, because they are really 3-D (have a lot of plastic in them) easily paintable, as you put them together after you paint them, and really detailed. They are just really expensive, so I tend to just buy stuff from dollar tree

Hey moe thanks for uploading this!

Thanks for the guid General, keep up the amazing work and have an awesome 2019!

I have come back to this video many times, the references and review is very useful. Thanks!

The BMC Lido army men go great with the M41 Walker Bulldog tank that TimMee offers. I use those guys to go against my MPC Germans and my Armies in Plastic Russians although slightly off scale it's still cool. I think they should be made in tan in the future. :)

Thank you for the vid. I have been gathering army men and vehicles for a few months now so I can shoot a stop motion. It helps knowing some of the makers of the figures. I wasn't familiar with matchbox. Thank you

General Moe,The standing pose is very common at Amazon. You can buy it there or look at a local store.Another tip to find standing soilders is “True Hero” On Amazon

You can get a big bucket of the match box ww2 army men u like on amazon for 20 dollars. There is also British and Japanese soldiers with it

Damn Army men rts Theme song in the background... so nostalgic...

Nicely done, thanks for sharing this interest & passion!

Another great video! The green "BMC" guys with no bases were originally made by a company up in the Bronx called Lido. As a kid I played with them and liked the no-base feature because it allowed them to be placed in trees,climbing ladders,etc. I used to pretend they were a military police unit, since a few of them have pistols and lanyards and seem to be in sentry poses. As for the Timmee, they are now being done in a whole different bunch of colors,which is great because you can use the white as ski troops,the blue as navy,black as ss or commandos,red as communists,etc. They even now have purple,which reminds me of one of the all-time great comic book series from the 1960s; "M.A.R.S. Patrol", the Marine Attack Rescue Service. The enemy force had purple uniforms and tanks,etc.

I am just starting out on KZfaq, but your videos are a great motivation. Keep up the fun content.

A nicely detailed review, General. Well done, sir!

Very insightful! Great video too my man

Timee will always be my favorite as the inherited Timee Vietnam era guys where top quality when I was young. I do love the Elite Forces figures they’re very reminiscent of the old Timee with a similar plastic which is flexible and not brittle. Another thing I like is the set I picked up came in a bucket where the top was actually a foxhole with wood bridge for the handle which was added play factor

My favorite is “ye old Marx & mpc guys from the 70’s”

The video was so complete and good

omg that background music is from rts army men! that is my favorite game of all time! spent so many hours playing that

The soldier standing and firing and the Timmee/Timmee knockoff bazooka guy are my favorite poses. I've got so many bazooka guys and standing and firing guys in my collection!

You are so good at all the army men

I have currently true hero’s and timmee and it’s a really good combo,the true hero’s fill in those poses I always wanted to have the shooting standing guy, I really like the combo I recommend to get them 2 together

I admit I have nearly all the knock offs but the British paratroopers knock offs are my most favourite (with others like timers and match box or whatever)

The timme soldier that had to have his hand remade is pretty much useful for being a dead guy

Hey, can you link the true hero and match box USA army set? Thanks!

Nice poses

Is there a site that shows more information about all different kinds of plastic army men? I've been searching and couldn't find one. That's also how I came to this (very helpful) youtube

At 13:42, concerning the paratroopers - I have a bunch of these 'generic' molds from when I was younger. Those are my favorites. Where can I find more like these? I found the proper British ones, but I like the simplified version.

3 years after this video, and mixture of poses have gone random... Dunno if it is just depending on shops where one looks plastic soldiers from, perhaps...? I kinda miss those good ol' matchbox kits. About those 'nam poses you said apeparing in early 2000s; those appeared here in Finland in 90s already... xD

This music brings back so many memories! "Ready to build! Where d'ya want it?"

when is the next lego vs army men coming out i cant wait i saw the trailer by the way i love your channal

There is a store near me where I found a couple drawers of the British airfix troopers for only 25 cents a guy. Super happy for finding them!

Elite Force has another set. It’s very modern solders with some heavy duty guns 💪🏽 check em out bro

bmc are recasts of lido. they also do recasts of marx and mpc. marx toys were the best detailed army soldiers during the 1960's from 2 inch scale us infantry to the 6 inch scale marines.

Airfix/matchbox seem good and I have a few, but only 2 since I got them at the dentist like 4 years ago, except for the German ones, I have 15 and I got them. Last year

I have 2 elite forces buckets, though they are slightly shorter than the timmee molds

Genrel could u plse help me with the air ticks i cant find them

Great video 👍

General moe True heroes and adventure force make this posses.

Your videos are the best.

Thank you for making this video i learned alot thank you

5:08 that company died with toys r us

Hi I'm new here. So I was wondering where did you get the first soldier design. In my country I only have the bizzare soldier so yeah

22:14 the shotguy gun🤣🤣🤣

What brand and where do you get those army men on the front of this video, iv been trying to find them

I do army men stop motion also I always go for bmc because they are not very expensive and have lots of molds

I did have an original standing rifleman??i remember cause it sucked when his bayonet bent..maybe it was rare?

HiI'm 11 years old and I admire your videos more than all your soldiers movies

I have 200 ww2 style army men some British styled some American styled some German styled and that’s all the styled army men i have they aren’t too detailed i have almost all of (possibly all of them) the Air Fix paratrooper poses and i’ve been subbed to general moe for like a year now possibly longer

Hey i have 11 large soilders i have the 2021 version and there small i got alot of men but im oredering your fav army

My favourite were a set by ARCO. They did a special forces style set that basically just had a bunch of Rambo looking figures.

Awesome video

Nice work!

I love your vids

Nice video! Those overly-tall "BMC" figures you mentioned were originally made by "Lido" of the Bronx in New York City. I find them very useful as Military Police (or Air Police for the Air Force),or also they work well as Rangers because---since they lack bases----you can have them climbing trees or scaling cliffs or place them on ladders ( Back during WW2 the Marines had a similar unit called Carlson's Raiders,who did a lot of similar Ranger-type stuff,based on methods learned from the Chinese Communists). Also I agree with your thoughts on the Tim-Mee Vietnam guys; very useful backbone troops and good quality. I'd like to see you do a vid on plastic vehicles too---or have you already done it?

Awesome

What is the name of the set for the airfix paratroopers? (13:30) I wanna see if I can find it

Nice one I use a group of army men for each colour Green : airfix paratrooper,matchbox American infantry, cheap Chinese army men Tan : airfix paratrooper, matchbox American infantry , Us marines , cheap Chinese army men and small 3cm army men Grey: airfix paratrooper Blue : airfix paratrooper

I can't find the air fix paratroop set (I think that's how you spell it) and I have a few fake ones and I'm hoping to get the original . Anyone have any ideas where I could find any in 2024?

i get my airfix ones from arcades or stuff like that

how i get the airfix and matchbox copies.

Where did you get the airfix tan British Paratrooper set I can not find it on amazon or eBay

This really helped a lot thank you!!

Army men will be in the harts of many

My first set was a bucket called elite operations. Although it doesn't say true heroes, it is all their molds.

Can you please tell me where you got that green pillbox in the background? I have been searching for something like it, but now it’s just getting ridiculous. I simply need something so army men aren’t worthless compared to my bunch of tanks.

Can someone like give me a link to someone or some company selling Gray army men tanks? Because I only need them to finish off the armoured teams.

In 10:09 when did u get the stand up shooting guy because that’s my favorite

I loved it and I just got Tim Mee army men for R 962 I am from Shouh-Africa

timmee also had sapper guys but for some reason they dont make them anymore

You have voiced my concerns so accurately, I really wish Timmee had a standing and aiming mold

So excuse me General Moe sir I gave the toy Army men soldiers a war speech to attack lego military forces.

Hey I am a stopmotion artist and I live in a area (not gonna say where for privacy) where in here 10:49 the machine gun,bazooka,rifle up,rifle down,walkie talkie,binoculars and there's also a uzi and a dude with a bag on his back but no weapons.since I don't live in America/Australia I see that there's some things that's not that normal for Americans/Australians because our baseplates for army men are either hexagonal or square and circle sometimes and youd be lucky do find anything here 11:51 except the ones I listed

Anyone have any good websites for men and vehicles and what not?

Tim Mee and Matchbox are my dream to get but I never get them because I live in the Philippines and most army men there are just some worse or kinda ok ones so if any of you can tell me where to get these ones as cheap then thank you!

how did you get the c1berde

I have the German matchbox guys and I *LOVE* them so much! Best figures I have and I wanna get American

What brand are the general army man?

im trying to find the grey German ones, no luck yet :/

I watch hole video it was intresting btw i sub

Tbh, I enjoy your normal voice.

very jealous of the artillery gun in the background

how could i get timee plastic army men in austraila i my self have started making stopmotions but i can't find any good quallity soldiers!!!

14:05 captain macabre from plastic apocalypse!!

What frames do you use to make stop motions

I like your vids

I know who makes a few of the gulf war poses let me know if you want more of those and/or some of their vehicles let me know and i will find some places to purchase them

4:01 i can name all those brands, jaru xtreme team and imperial toys all of them are knock offs

Where can I get them.

Respect 👌🏿👏🏻🤙🏻👏🏻 IT is a roumainian

I have the captain as a lieutenant and I love the lmg guy

You should do armies in plastic there great

13:32 does anyone know where to get them?

I have LOTS of the paratroopers even grey ones

Some match box figures on amazon if you look up ww2 army men

I have some standing up men and I didn't mold them together either

I have grey American soilders,the one that you love

I like the Matchbox US Infantry and the Matchbox Afrika Korps .... I have the rereleases available from Revell/Germany and from Hobby Bunker in the USA .... The knock off's of the US soldiers are ok and I do like them .... But for tan vs. green it's the Matchbox guys for me ....
