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).
