Ever thought of using that sweet polymer to make some modern Army Men. I was intoducing my young son to the cheap plastic Army Men and found myself quite bored with the out dated styling. Some modern styled Army Men would be sweet and no one can say that you guys don't have style. If you made them slightly larger your could make your magpul products on the men easily to see. For the sake of my boys childhood please make some decent army men.
PS...Make one with a middie with MOE Handguards. |

If they make iphone cases, then why not? I like this idea. My boys would love it.

Yeah, um... "For my kid". That would be pretty cool. I can see the add on the back of some gun magazine, some cartoon beach landing scene. And if you order now you get the cardboard foot locker and the limited edition plastic death buggy. Magpul Men! Try to "BUST 'EM!"

Would be a must have purchase for me. Oh, the memories of setting those little guys up and shooting them with rubber bands, and later, BB Guns.....

I'd be all over that. My request, give one a KAC SR-25EMC.

Agreed. This would be freakin awesome. I'd buy some for the kids I plan to have someday too!!!!!!

Oh I'll make no attempt to hide the fact that I'd likely play with them more. But Sten guns, Garands, Bren guns, and MG 42's are just unsatisfactory for my two boys. My boys like ARs. I was imagining one with a beard running a moe middie, one doing a reload on his AR, one with some belt fed machine gun, definately the grenadier needs to have that 6 shot 40mm, a sniper proned out with an OBR or bolt gun and maybe in a ghilli suit, maybe one who has transitioned to his handgun, one with his knife out, Scuba diver, Paratrooper, or anything else cool. This has to be the cheapest toy to make. Just make some molds, squirt some magpul polymer in there, trim any flashing off and throw them in a cardboard footlocker.

They gotta at least come in ODG, and then another color, that way there can be distinguishable "sides"

ODG and FDE would be the obvious choices. A few taliban in UDE with AKs and RPGs would also be good.

That's actually a pretty neat idea. I'd buy some, and I don't even have kids.

Maybe with rail clips so you can hang a bazooka guy under your M4 barrel.

might as well get working on this RFN so that you can use them for swag at SHOT 2013. I'd buy an entire set for my boy.

This is quite possibly the greatest dumb idea ever.
I was just recently lamenting at the dated, and poor quality of my son's plastic army guys. And if not for the children, do it for the sand tables!!! |

I thought about the same thing when I saw this sticker:
And I would buy a set too |
