Day 128.75
Army men, or plastic soldiers, are simple toy soldiers that are about 5 cm (2 inches) tall and most commonly molded from green or other colored relatively unbreakable plastic. Unlike the more expensive toy soldiers available in hobby shops, army men are sold at low prices in discount stores, supermarkets, and dollar stores. Also unlike many toy soldiers, army men are sold unpainted and almost always dressed in modern military uniforms and armed with 20th Century weapons.
Army men regained popularity thanks to the 1995 film Toy Story. To appeal to a wider demographic, army men have been produced to reflect sequences in popular war films, such as Tora Tora Tora, Hamburger Hill and Platoon.
