Army Men, or plastic soldiers, are toy soldiers that are about 5 cm (2.0 in) tall and most commonly molded from olive green, relatively unbreakable plastic. Unlike the more expensive toy soldiers available in hobby shops, army men are sold at low prices in discount stores and supermarkets in bulk packaging. Army men are sold painted green and almost always dressed in modern military uniforms and armed with 20th-century weapons. 'Jumbo' Army Men are a less common secondary scale with 4.75" soldiers made with the same process.
