Pointing guy is very important. He tells mortar guy and machine gun guy where to shoot.
I'm in the rice patties killing you GI
>>29336897
But it's just two lines of army guys. Are the mortarmen and machinegunners stupid?
>>29336859
Thats just Steve, no one likes Steve he's a fucking idiot

You can't just line your mans up and expect shit to get done! I thought that everybody knew that pistol and binoculars guy designates targets. Radio guy calls in the information to pointing guy, who is in charge of a mortar section.
I even set it up for you.
I had these guys
>>29337088
They look like wizards
Bazooka man is best man
Those crouching ma deuce guys were objectively GOAT.
>>29336859
That guy wouldn't be so bad if he could stand up without fucking falling over.
>>29337150
There the cowboy's and Indians
>>29337241
He looks better on the ground, like he's wounded and trying to get his rifle to get back in the fight
>>29337088
I used them as insurgents with all my other odd colours in ambush for the massive green column
>>29336936
I'd usually stand the sweepers next to the mortars and cannons to sort of act as crew. Same with the wwII style pointing guy and binoculars with hand in the air guy, but there are so damn many of them compared to regular troops.

I'll give you a tip.
The company that made the original ones, Timmee, is still around. They still use the original poses and shit so you know you're getting the real deal. They use good plastic too. You can get 100 of them on amazon for like ten bucks. They still make the tanks too.
>>29337479
You sir, are a genius.
I never thought of that.
that pissed off feeling you got when you bought the shitty no-name dollarstore ones that had mismatched weapons, and you end up with half a bag of american GIs with M-16's, and the rest of the bag a bastard mix of WWII soldiers like germans with MP40's and americans with rifles.
That amazing feeling when I found ones at a dollarstore once that actually had like 5-6 sets of all the different major countries, US, UK, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia. And they all had specific weapons and helmets and even faces, with the Japs having little squinty gook faces, the russians having like angry faces, the brits having bren guns and stens and shit, etc.

Did anyone ever own that massive mountain base thing?
It had a SAM launch kind of thing (which if I remember right actually fired torpedoes, kek) and a runway that stretched out from inside. It was pretty cool except for how it meant one side got a cool built up base while the other got a few tents.
>>29337851
My friend had one but it was kind of shit desu.
Playing inside it was much better to use blocks since you could design your own forts and also destroy them in the battle.
It was ok outside but it was still more fun digging trenches and stuff.

I seriously can't wait to have a son just so I can teach them basic military tactics using army men battles.
"make sure you keep your tank facing the enemy so your armor is strongest"
"don't send those soldiers there alone, make sure you have the big machine gun covering them!"
>>29336859
When I was a wee lad I had a armyman C-130 and it came with machineguns and everything. It was in that signature green color and came in the perfect size for army men.
>>29337851
I had an Iwo Jima one where it was a rocky mountainside with trenches and shit. It even came with the guys raising the flag and a bunch of japs.
Anyone used to take the foam packaging from boxes and use them to make forts for your army men? Not like packing peanuts, those big chunks of foam that you get in TV boxes and stuff.

Some of the first ones I got came with a play mat with some craters and a river, but it was kind of small and more fun to build stuff. Stacks of books, legos, boxes, rocks, etc. I used to set them up on/around the stereo and make walls and bunkers out of tapes and CDs as a kid. Building trenches in the garden was awesome too. Setting up two armies on opposite sides of a ping pong table and trying to knock them down was fun. It was always hardest to get the ones near the net.

I used to play the c&c games a lot and when the parents told me to get off the computer I'd start setting up army men battles. I think Westwood used to have an actual sand box on a table that was used to lay out terrain for some level designs.
Airplanes, Trucks and especially Jeeps used to annoy me.
I loved airplanes, so it really bothered me that there was no real way a child could keep one loitering above the combat zone without trying something stupid like trying string around it (now you've got unaerodynamic string) and then trying to tie that up somewhere high.
Trucks rarely fit soldiers, and when they did it involved cramming them in and a lot of trouble to get them out, but it wasn't so bad because it was easier to imagine they were inside it and just move soldiers as necessary.
This wasn't an option for Jeeps, which had big open windows but could usually only fit a soldier in the back. Even if you could get one in the seats, his hands wouldn't be on the steering wheel!
The lack of viable parachute methods used to also annoy me (either you get the ones specifically designed to parachute, in which case the chute can't be removed and they're a pain to move around, or you get ones not designed to and tie things to them which never worked as well for the dropping part, but let you untie it later), although I was usually content to just transport troops in via plane then fly them to the combat zone with helicopters.

When I was younger I had the micro army men. I hot glued different colors of felt to a large base peice of grey felt so I could emulate desert vs plains. Even threw in a few Battle Kings for more vehicles and logistics support.
>>29337804
Some of my troops got chewed by the dog and became casualties. I never destroyed any outright but modified a few extras with a lighter. A spare general/captain guy with binoculars and a pistol off to the side had his arm carefully tweaked so it points to the front like he means business. Wish I had a pic but they're in a storage unit for now.

I had (have, somewhere) so many of these Ertl die casts. They had little plastic missles bombs and drop tanks you could customize onto the pylons, too.
I used to ask what all the little weapons were and what they did. He eventually got some Jane's books and told me to look them up.

One of my friends had a ton of the micro machine ones. The forts and bases were pretty cool, but my favorite was the giant tank that could act as an APC for regular tanks or a lot of troops.

>>29338375

>>29338386
just realized micro machine tanks would make good R/C drones for army men, like in that 007 game(nightfire? idk). Anyone have the giant-sized army men? I used to have a few and used them as giant supersoldiers for battles.

I had a conversation about this with a friend the other night where people who play stuff like Bolt Action and Warhammer 40K are just playing with plastic armymen with more rules, and that stuff like Airsoft and Paintball is just like playing with toy guns as a kid or sticks with more rules (everyone knew that actual toy guns were better than stick guns)

>>29339346
Occasionally some of the thinner barrels snapped off of riflemen, making obrez gunners. I think there was at least one bazooka guy it happened with too, but oh well, sawed off rocket launcher. There was a set or two of knockoffs from the better Timmee ones that had some oddball figures. the ones that come to mind are a crouching m16 guy with no head(dubbed Roland the Armalite gunner) and the general/captain pistol and binoculars guy who was normal except his head was craned way up like he was getting assassinated or realized he was about to get airstrike'd.

lost it
So I've came to the conclusion that I was the only person that cared about mine?
Never Left a man behind. Green or Tan, broke or not. No man was left in the lawn...
Either we all came home or none of us.
>>29348029
May man, I agree. I took care of my toys. But fuck the tans... commie bastards.
COME OUT YOU GREY AND TANS
COME OUT AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN
SHOW YOUR WIFE HOW YOU WON MEDALS IN THE PLAYGROUND
TELL HER HOW THE GREEN ARMY
MADE YOU RUN LIKE HELL AWAY
FROM THE GREEN AND LOVELY PATHS IN THE GARDEN

what kind of fucking expression is that fish's face supposed to be conveying?
>>29348338
Protecting your head in a warzone is important though, you should always wear protection
>>29336859
You calling that brave trooper a faggot? You know what that guy is actually doing? That move of the rifle upside down in hands with bayonet attached was an official silent communication signal from WWII to the Vietnam era for indicating contact with the enemy. His rifle is pointing in the direction of enemy troops. You dickless piece of shit cowards thank that prave PFC with a "Good eye, Private!" or I will one-arm you into the fucking ground. DISMISSED!

I made a really simple army men war game. I guess this is the right thread for it??
>>29338330
>saving me tax dollars
That's a real hero.
I've made a few army men stopmotions. I'll share em to bump the thread.

30 seconds in and I love it. Thanks anon.
>>29348492
Aww they melted.....
Did anyone have the C-130?
Fuck it was the coolest thing. Completely OD Green, but it had a ramp at the back and you could take off the entire wing set to disassemble it.
I can't find it anywhere now;_;
>>29348601
I saw it in stores all the time, but never bought it.
>>29348380
I think I had a game I'd saved off /tg/ buy can't find it now. Thanks anon

>>29337670
I buy the high end ones now and paint them.
>>29348029
It always worried me to see people destroy theirs on purpose.
All of mine made it home as well.
>>29342208
I had those guys too, but the molds were shitty so it looked like they were throwing grenades.
>>29342418
Holy shit the minesweeper guys seen some shit.
>>29342418
>woman has regular skin tone
huh?
>>29344607
is there a website where they are still available?
>>29345313
that's the thing. Those guys aren't useless. They're good to use as squad leaders, or mortar/mg crew, etc. the problem is when you get a bag of 30 soldiers, and 15 of them are either these assholes or the minesweeper guys.
>>29348437
>Tank driving backwards
>>29348990
It's a rare example of actual for real sexism in video games.
>>29343700
They are for green plastic men, but the sets they came from were made from a higher quality alloy of plastic as did the soldiers they came with.

Neato.
I used to make bunkers out of Jenga bricks.
>>29349159
lol how long have you been waiting to post that?
>>29342220
I've got a fever, and the only cure is more Wilhelm scream.
>>29348029
I felt the exact same way bro.
I still have one single army man to this day that I keep safe.
>>29342220
>Nope, we don't take prisoners!
Holy shit, this was intense

Greys. Weird thing is a spyplane
>>29339130
>TheGreenWeenie.jpg
Why is finding good quality planes so hard?
You can go with die-cast ones, but they're almost always at a scale where a single soldier is taller than a B-2
>>29342395
Holy shit my mom said the same thing.
Brother????
Remainder of the greens, now act as a shitty peacekeeping force

But, who here /micromachines/? They were goat.
Some muhrines, used to pretend they were mercenaries
>>29349687

>>29349677
>Micromachines
FUCK YES.
I still have mine... somewhere. I remember when they invaded the pussy-ass Hotwheel nation, those die-cast cucks never saw it coming.

>>29349710
I used to build big lego fortresses and then bomb them with marbles and attack with my micromachines.
I hope they're still in a box at my dad's house, I have a huge collection. All the Star Wars ones too.

Sir, do you have a stamp for that?
>>29348674
So I did some googling.
This site has a bunch of info and some war game rules:
http://www.thortrains.net/armymen/
This looks to be more aimed at kids:

These are playground style rules:

Very simple rules:

Fuckin' moolies man

>>29349735
>TFW had some of those and lost most
I still have two base sets, though. I used to set them up and exchange missiles between them.
>>29349885
>you will never be a kid again
>>29349685
Okay, you inspired me. I went and dug my old toys out of the attic, found a few survivors amongst the metric ton of Lego.
>>29349946
Nice. I had all of those. I have to say though, I have always hated the Thunderbirds paint scheme. Just not my thing.
Do you have any more?
>>29349959
I always liked the green/white camo like the Hind has.
Those were all I could find for now. I think I have some buried somewhere. They're being passed on to my kids and grandchildren, assuming it will still be legal for kids to play with assault toys by then.
I actually would love to have a day to play with toys one final time.I use to have this massive wooded board where I would create cities out of Hot Wheels tracks and those motorized train toys and grey boxes as buildings. I would summon this nigga and have the green army men fight him.
>>29349978
Good shit.
>tfw no F-22/F-35 micromachines
>>29349919
Bull shit. If other people can get themselves tied up and beat with a cane for gratification, then I can play with little plastic green army men for shits and giggles if I damn well please.
>>29349413
A little while haha
