I’ll start
>>65430818Flamethrower guy was always my fav. I liked Follow Me Men! guy with the pistol and binos, too.
>>65430818I had some gray ones with German weapons and some thick lighter green ones that had WWII/Korean weapons.Many men fell to the brutal onslaught of dirtclods, 4.5 mm artillery and jerry rigged flamethrowers.
>>65430818I loved those, but I liked the parachutists even more. The ones I had also came with Mi-24s and some parachutists too. I even had a cowboys and injuns set.For my pic, if you know, then you are cool. I used to pick these up for $3-5 in a shop across the street from the airport after watching BAC Strikemasters after school. Fun times.
>>65430818>M16sHuh. Always figured they came out—or at least were modeled after the WW2/Korea aesthetic
>>65430869guy pointing and sten grenade
>>65430818i've always thought that MegaBloks figurines were way better than Lego. So much more flexible to pose, spent hours arranging them on big Reach battles
>>65430818
>>65430818It’s radio man + 2 mortar men. That’s some real firepower for the squad.
>>65431034
>>65431270>kid toys>fagmeris marinesyou need to be 18 to post here
>>65431000Because of this set in thought that smg literally sprayed when you pushed them to your hip I thought thats how you fired a sten.
>>65431000I used to paint my good ones.
>>65431343>Mk6 armor>he thinks they're primarisGet off this board, zoom zoom (or at least brush up on your lore)
>>65430872I remember growing up my friend had these retro WWII toy soldiers from the like 50s or 60s that were Wehrmacht vs US Army. They were way fucking cooler than those green army with m16s, they even had little plastic KIA guys
>>65430818>"Pilot to bombardier, the ship is your.">"Roger skip, I have the aircraft. Bomb bay doors open..... bomb gone!"
>>65430818better dead than tan
>>65431343Fuck off you LARPer. Nice to know Primaris hate comes from clueless retards like you.
>>65431603Corporal Big Dick Tyrone
We had an open shirt beltfed LMG guy, very Vietnam, and he lost his stand so he became a casualty. Instead of a war scream as he's hip firing his MG it became a scream of "Medic!" I always felt bad for him because of that.
>>65431000I hated that that sniper was pointing so low, that I never found him a good position to shoot from. Like dude, lift the rifle up a bit.
still fun

Make way for the lord of lords, chink bootleg lego with military theme from early 2000s. Older Cobi sets from the Small Army line were wild as fuck too.
Not sure if you have these in America but this is peak british experience for a militaria childhood
>>65432431Mostly Revel brand models, but yeah they're a central childhood thing.
>>65431270If those were actual kiddy marines, they'd be slathered in at least three coats of paint, no thinner
>>65430869>>65431000 (chegged)For me? It was always machine gun guy and grenade guy.
>>65432431Airfix was still fairly common via imports (still is), they have always had a presence in some way shape or form: Airfix Corp. of America, Airfix by Craftmaster and MPC being some of the names used prior to the late 1980s, but direct imports of the British stuff existed too. Same could be said for Frog (under the Air Lines brand), Hasegawa (Minicraft Hasegawa and Hales Corp.) and so forth. The selection has always been better than just Revell and Monogram, but those have always been the most accessible (sold in grocery stores and art stores).I still have the box for the Lancaster I bought with money I made trimming bushes (and getting to pick all of the edible berries) from when I was 13 somewhere. Shit pic, but I picked these up last month at $10 each.
>>65431787I had so fucking many of these dude
>>65432443>'Special' ForcesOrcs stand no chance...
>>65431603ya my cousin had those with a bad ass half-track too. he wouldn't let me have them when i asked....
>>65432431>>65432463>got pic related as Christmas present in 2024>no time to assemble them since then bacause work and responsibilitiesFuck this gay world.The worst part is that I can feel my eyes going worse and worse and soon I'll be simply too fucking astigmatic to be able to work with fine parts in these sets...
>>65432431>>65432437>>65432463I was too fucking dumb as a kid to ever do these. I remember even walmart had revel battle ships and shit. I tried to make a few scale models, and after cutting myself with the xacto and making a mess of glue, my folks took them away from me.This was my shit back in the day. God know's how much my parent's paid for it monthly, but they sent you monthly fold outs of various planes.
>>65430818If you want to step things up a notch, I used to set up army men and shoot them with a bb gun with my dad. You can turn it into a whole game with turns and teams.
>>65432488Go for it. Get you some oldie magnifying specs and a bunch of tweezers and you'll be good.I did.
>>65432443bong kids fears there's Duncan Rhodes under their bed
GENERAL PLASTRO DID NOTHING WRONG
>>65432494I got Smithsonian Air & Space and some back issues of Air Enthusiast, but I had (and still have) more books than magazines. As far as videos, I did not have much, I used to check out Wings, Top 10s and other Discovery/History/Military Channel documentaries, rather than owning them.Since all of Wings is on YouTube, anyone want to recommend me an episode for this evening?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6TJD7iuMFw
>>65432469I always got one of these after the dentist
>>65432674F-111
>>65432469These were my and army men go-to after winning some games at the arcade because I sucked at playing all the games but one (which involved duck hunting) and could never win enough for one of those trigger launched helicopters they had hanging up, picrel.
I've let a bit of my childhood autism leak through into my adult life, it's still fun to hold up a model and fly it round the room.
>>65432494Mine were bad, don't feel too bad. All it serves as is a patience traininer.https://youtu.be/XrJMyqun0XE?si=dAT5-CMBGEAkxqXsThis looks fun as fuck, imagine sticking a laser based shooting system in them.
Airfix soldiers are the bestThese were mine
>>65432797https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKn1qqDmMi8I was today years old when I learned that in Poland and the former USSR, they make RC airplanes for combat.
I still have them in the store-room somewhere But I'm sure many will have degraded from material fatigue by now, they're ancient
>>65433102I had these good knockoffs. Still have 'em.
>>65432431growing up my dad would build these with his neighborhood friends and then blow them up with firecrackers and shoot them with .22 rifles. he then got me into model building as a kid, but without the fun parts after.
>>65430818Wish I hadn't destroyed this.
>>65430818None of you are tan army guy faggots right? We're all greenchads here right?
>>65433220Plastro did nothing wrong
Did anyone else have the walkie talkie +silenced MAC -10 guy?I had some in a mixed batch I got in a yard sale so no idea of the provenance.Considered them "commandos" as a kid Can't find any pictures when googling about them unfortunately but they were really rad
>>65432443Perfect.
>>65431270I miss 4e when the box art for the vehicles was done with art in the style of scale model kits rather than the sterile "exactly the game product" of now
>>65431343>>65431594NTA but these are the post-primaris rework of the Horus Heresy kit, so these are the hero scale nu-GW ones and are basically just primaris marines with a Horus Heresy coat of paint.
>>65432431This was the first model kit I ever got. Been scale modeling for 17 years now.
>>65432654Anon he melted a whole lego village for materials to fund his war. Typical fucking blue army psyops.
>>65433173Now we're talking. All the German models were great. Also look at the flag stand, I remember the feel of its knobbly surface still. Somewhere in the great family storage there's a bag of these rotting away, and I wish I knew where.

I remember the first time I ever played a strategy game. Pretty much never touched a toy while alone again.
>>65433527I look like that irl.
OldGenXFagHere.Boss level PT-19 flying thru
>>65432495That's the classic way of playing, except with a rubber band. Both players set up and then take turns moving soldiers and shooting rubber bands at each others soldiers until one side wins.
It was the cowboys and indians for me. Favorites were the guy fanning the hammer and the guy with the buffalo headdress.
I had a set of Neanderthals just like this.
>>65435606Those are ugly afI remember the Cowboys being tan and the Indians being red
Has one of these too
And one of these, but they sucked
>>65435638Oh man, i still remember the hum.
Everyone had these and those suction cups would really stick.Used to shoot them at cars as they passed by
>>65435538And if you hold the lever forward it's an AK.Pic related was a rocket launcher.
This had a smell all of its own.

>>65435778Man that thing was the shit
>>65435834Artist is Kaneoya Sachiko
>>65435673Suburbanfag millennial but I used to try and stack the rolls & hit them with rocks at just the right angle to cause a mass detonation and start a fire. I think it only worked a few times.
>>65435778>>65435886>>65435898Old skool
I feel old. I wish I could go back, if only for a month or so.
>>65435673I preferred the ones with the plastic clips, the paper rolls were always too unreliable; of ten it felt like only one would go off.
>>65435538You'll shoot your eye out kid.
>>65435673Awwwwww yeaaaahh!!!
>>65436238Be careful what you wish for.

>>65435673I liked the clip fed ones better.
>>65435673
>>65436240I had the opposite experience with paper rolls, most would fire. You might have to position them just right though so that they would line up properly.
racing jets
>>65436396>You might have to position them just right though so that they would line up properly.Yes, and after a few shots they would hang out the side again.
There should be a regular toy general here, there is so much shit and all /toy/ cares about is NOT OPEN THE BAWKS!!!!!
>>65436399There are vintage cigarette lighters based on rolls of caps
>>65436399Maybe I just had better toy guns than you. I had one a lot like this in the mid to late 90s, this sweet double-action rifle would reliably snap most (if not all) of a full roll.
Seen a lot of action with one of these, great potato based weapons platform
>>65436254>t. a plastic army man who’s entire platoon was wiped out by a sexy milfs flip flop
>>65436425You'd have had to go to Kay Bee toys or something for this. Small towns didn't get much back in the day and no amazon.
Speaking of small/tourist vacation towns, NOW when they have a vintage general store that shit is awesome. Models and die casts and all kinds of shit.
I believe one of my first cap guns was actually molded after a CZ75, though I don't know what happened to it or where it is.
>>65436425Man it was somer revolver you got for a few fucks from some seasonal blow-out sale, those thing were supposed to last a few weeks tops, I doubt they had someone going around with a caliper checking tolerances; in fact I doubt the people who made these even knew what a caliper is.I preferred making bow and arrows anyway.
>>65436504I only ever had western guns, but I distinctly remember having a squirt modeled after a Luger that was green and orange.
>>65435606Oo i had 1 set of these tooNot a really a great fan of cowboys and indians but the poses were alrightI liked the guy fanning the revolver tooAnd the hipfiring rifleman with the rocking chaps>>65436243>middle indian in raping/scalping pose over his victimuhh based?
>>65436654He is clearly neither raping nor scalping, but tomahawking the ground, IDIOT!
>>65436665Right, ancient planting secret.I had a rival indian one and the set I never see anymore had like two of them with ankle length head dresses and there was also a shaman wizard guy with a stick in battle pose.
>>65436675I had a bunch of Playmobil indians, including a chief with a very long headdress; those were made of rubber. It was pretty cool.
>>65436680There was a great WWF rubber indian guy, Cheif Totonka or some shit? 14" tall about.
bigger and older though
I had a rattling TEC-9.
>>65436247>PlastykI heard from someone in Kurwaland that his local supermarket has them.
>>65436749I'm starting to work lexan with a vac box and heat gun. I bet I could even make molded toys if I can figure out de-gassing the fill.
>>65433336Plastro can suck magnifying glass.
>>65433557Yeah. The box art made me want to play the game. Lost interest after the boxes changed.
>>65434904That's Army 2, isn't it? The interface in the first one looked different.
>>65436749I had (among other) a Micro UZI 8-shot cap gun.
>>65437064Army men was a great series, it sucks that it died.>>65437077I had the micro airsoft M-16. They sold them at a store I worked night crew for. Many gun battles were fought. The other options were an AK and a H&K something that was too squished to tell.
>>65436405>all /toy/ cares about is NOT OPEN THE BAWKSYet another example of boards being shit at their stated subject.
>>65437436The Scale Model guys are fine, I guess the Gunpla guys also build stuff too, but their /m/ thread is much more active, but you are right.
>>65430869Damn, those are really good choices. For me, it's hard to choices. Definitely binos guy and the over the head bayonet is really pretty insane, so that's cool, too.Also, I can smell pic related.

>>65435649Man, I forgot about those things. They were great. Man, I had so many guns and war toys as a kid, it was amazing. No wonder I'm here.
>>65436398Woah, I've never seen this before. What a cool concept. It actually makes more sense than cars.
Anybody else have parents that gave all their childhood shit away?>you didn't like it anymoreFuck you, I was a kid. When you're 12 all the shit you played with when you were 10 is boring now. I don't even know where to buy pic rel anymore
>>65438058Hobby Lobby, hobby shops, Trainz, Hobbylinc, and, if you do not mind tariffs for a better selection (there prices are cheaper to start with so with tariffs, the amount is about the same), then Super Hobby.

>>65438614We called them "mortars" or "torpedos" because we were stupid. Today I'd call them "fun". Mom got mad at us and told us to only use them on the playground because it'd "stain the asphalt". The playground was all sand, then we got yelled at a whole load for violating the playground only rule.

>>65440330>>65440343Nice work if those are all hand painted scenes, how many models have you made?
Did anyone else torture their army men or was I just psycho as a kid?
>>65440522You're fine. When I was little, like well under 10. I had this blue plastic revolver that had a rubber band inside it, so that pulling the trigger moved the hammer. Rest was solid. The muzzle also had this orange sleeve. I had for some reason also a baby doll. On multiple occasions I said to it "this won't hurt" and placed the gun on it's head. Then I pulled the trigger. Mom was a bit puzzeled of my execution plays. I also hanged my mouse plush with my lasso. Only once I "napalmed" my plastic soldiers with mom's BIC, as I needed them for battles. The more the merrier. More normal plays were arming all my soft animals and having a battle in my room. Many were killed.I did catch houseflies in a small glass jar with painter's tape and ripped their wings off. Then I had them as pets.I'm normal adult now, if you don't count the shyness on social side.
>>65440522you were rich is what you wereI had too few army men to fuck with themthey were the good quality Airfix stuff as well
>>65440522>>65440555Yes this is definitely psycho behavior. You people make me sick. We should be advocating to end the army man war after all these decades of bitter violence. I've done all that I can to take care of our veterans but there's only so much one person can do. I'm still traumatized after seeing one poor minesweeper with both of his feet blown off, still clutching his sweeper, desperately searching for mines to save his few remaining comrades on his little stumps. War really is hell
Used to remember having a super soaker 2000 back in the day.
>>65441043A lot of mine are buried in my parents rockery. Lots of combat occurred there.I can vouch for the longevity of the Airfix soldiers as I have one of the Commando crouching Bren men I recovered with a shovel gash half way through him.

>>65441057Shut the fuck up.
>>65439566>>Spencer's Gifts>Are they still around?Yes.
>>65435548I did that too. I had a rubber band gun as a kid, and it had a whole little revolver mechanism like a cowboy spur for loading up multiple rubberbands. I'd double-load so many rubber bands they'd start slipping off, and multiple would come out with each trigger pull.
>>65432495>>65435548I found lobbing paper pellets more fun because it's harder and you can get misses and "injuries" (hit but didn't fall over)my dad tried to get me to adopt a hex and dice system instead but it was too slow for me
