Gi joe or toy soldiers
I had lots of those green men with the various guns and man I had some battles! No GI Joes, that seemed girly to me. No offense ladies, I am old. I even forts with indians and we never crossed over from WWII/Vietnam and the Civil War.

Of course you know @SSGT LARRY OLSON that you are goating me into this conversation with the "too girly" comment :-) As we say, "They're ACTION FIGURES, not dolls". I've had everything from the green plastic Army men on up. Remember the "Guns of Navarone" moutain playset and it's Sears equivalent the "Iwo Jima" playset with all the vehicles, etc., had'em both. Then I graduated to 12" action figures. Could not get into the smaller 3 3/4 " ones. Now as many of you know I have a 1/2 a garage devoted to my GI Joe and military action figure passion.

She was in the movie "Super Troopers" for a cameo and my heart still skipped a beat.

Had 'em all! The little green Army men by the 100s, and GI Joes with lots of accessories. There were some major battles fought in my back yard and there is probably still a battalions worth of them buried throughout the yard that had been lost over the years!

SSgt (Join to see) , there is probably even more than one (unintentional) mass grave back there. I also had to bury one of my GI Joes that lost a battle with the lawnmower! He did put up a valiant fight though! If memory serves, my dad had to replace the blade on the mower! LOL!
