History of These Figures
The current figures are reproductions of the original Tim Mee Toy WW2 GIs first introduced in 1948. Over the years, they were produced by Applause Toys and BMC Toys before returning to Tim Mee Toy in 2023. Compared to the 1948 originals, these are slightly smaller with a bit less detail. They are often mistaken for Eldon figures due to a misidentification in a popular collector's book. Green plastic army men as a category have been inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame, reflecting their enduring appeal.
Play and Stability
Most figures stand well on flat surfaces, but the Radio Operator pose may need a slight prop due to its design. The LDPE plastic offers some flexibility, helping the figures withstand rough play. These are meant to be set up, knocked down, and picked up over and over.
