Little green army men; will they ever go out of fashion. You buy them in a bag of dozens and they keep little boys busy for hours.
Sad but true.
This was a bizarre scene in a drug store window that I took a while back. I am not clear why a NYC retail establishment would dedicate this much window space to such a low cost item. Unless of course this was a show of patriotism and had nothing to do with merchandising.
Whenever I see these plastic figures. all I can think about is a childhood story of Gary’s where he bit off all the heads of the army men. Not clear on the motive.
Perhaps it was a political statement (unlikely).
i could cry but i don't have time 
oh great story of yours tonight (as usual) this one in particular brought back a ton of, I thought forgotten, memories of my big brother playing with them plastic soldiers for hrs & upon hrs. * thanks for the jolt back let say over 40+ years . . . lol
glad i could spark a memory for you.
i wonder if little boys still find them intriguing.
P.S. I like that you have it snowing on your blog * I’m impressed
Did Gary drink Earl Grey tea after the beheading?
Oh yeah there’s one right there, my 9 yr old said when I asked if he still played with them. really? did not know they were still around. ..what else do you do with them? .. array of exploding noises … shooting them with rubber bands .. 🙂
