Army men

For other uses, see Army men (disambiguation).

Army men, or plastic soldiers, are toy soldiers that are about 5 cm (2.0 in) tall and most commonly molded from low-density polyethylene plastic, which makes them durable and flexible. Army men are traditionally solid green or tan, and molded with 20th-century uniforms and weapons.

Unlike the more expensive toy soldiers available in hobby shops, army men are sold at low prices in discount stores and supermarkets.

"Jumbo" army men are a less common secondary scale with 4.75-inch (12.1 cm) soldiers made by the same process.
