4.0 out of 5 stars These are not army men., November 15, 2008

These are models, designed to go with armor models in the same series. Amazon lists them as "army men", they're not army men in the sense most Americans think of army man toys - they require assembly with glue of some pretty small parts.
With that said, they're great recreations of each of the major weapons and clothing styles utilized by US Soldiers during World War II.

If you are buying them for modeling or for educating, they're great, if you are buying them with small children in mind, they're not the right product.

It grieves me to see a classic model kit get knocked simply because it wasn't what customers expected. These model soldiers require a great deal of assembly (and painting!) but are well worth the effort. The equipment is well-cast, figures assemble easily and smoothly and the poses are excellent. This is a great kit that's been around for years. For figures to accompany 1:48 scale armor kits they can't be beat.

Im on my way to pro model building and I built 2 of these kits and I think its just great! there are 15 awesome u.s. infintry figures in each kit(including 2 tank crew figures). if you are looking for a green army figure set than don't look here. this is a model kit. not for play. anyway it was cool
