I would buy these.
Back in the day I would hold LGAM matches. Take 15 Chinese army men [it says so on the package] and staple the bases to a piece of lath. Set them at 15 yards and shoot at them with either a centerfire rifle or a rimfire [2 classes] You can shoot as many rounds as you want, and take as long as you want, but keep track of both the time and the number of rounds. A full bullet diameter hit "killed" the guy, any 2 hits "killed" the guy, if the guy is completely blown away, he is dead. Whomever has the most kills in the least amount of time wins. In the case of a tie, the remains are unstapled and weighed, the lowest weight is the tie breaker. Shooting the staple is considered unsportsmanlike conduct except on the prone guy, and the full weight of an unshot target is added to your total, and that target counts as unshot.. |

That's an original idea... I would've never thought of that! I'd definitely buy packs, preferably in FDE and Foliage... for my "kids"

I would be down!
I had army men and for some reason cowboys and indians... I would take over a room and set out full scale battles. it would always invariably be cowboys and army men vs indians.  oh how time flys! |

Yeah the "Magpul please make this" threads are usually pretty tired, but this is actually a kind of cool idea. Plus you could use them lay out strategic plans in the dirt and stuff like in Red dawn or make pew pew noises with while your bored at work instead of reading the magpul industry forum.

Is anyone else thinking this?....
Magpul army men vs the Chris Costa action figure? You could have your own Magpul / CostaLudus war. And recreate Gulliver's Travels at the same time. |

If they do make them it'll probably be a limited run just for people at SHOT and they will be $30 each within a mater of days.
ETA: I'll buy some if they do make them. |

It could be Magpul's version of the Larue Dillo.
Different colors, different commemorative editions, e.g. Chosin Marine, WWI Doughboy, etc.
Just need to find some old Airfix molds to get started. |

And because it's Magpul, the parachutes would actually WORK! Think of the awesome.

Yes please
My son is only 1 but he'd have a bunch of these. By the time he goes to school possession of army men will probably get you on a no-fly list |
