    Dollar Store Firemen

    Well here's something a little off the beaten path, it's Dollar Store Firemen figures. I bought these guys to make fun of them. But when I got them out for review, did my opinion change? Check out the full review of these figures that come four to a package for a single George Washington.

      I saw these as well as policemen & soldiers-- I was thinking they'd make great weapons for Toyman...

          Hey yeah, that's a good idea as well. I saw the Police ones as well, but didn't see any army soldiers. Definitely have a lot of possibility for the creative mind.

                I've always loved cheap rack toys, especially unpainted plastic figures like these. I'd love a couple of bags each of the soldiers, firemen, and police. These remind me so much of the kind of dime store toys I loved when I was a kid. You just don't see toys like this much anymore.

                    ^Thanks! My only complaint is that the soldiers are tan, not green.

                    Remember that Superman:TAS episode where Toyman used life-sized GI Joe Astronaut & Marx Cowboy as henchman? Cool!

                        ^They're tan because we fight in the deserts now.

                        Those would make a nice accent piece for the toy display.

                          I understand why they're tan--I watch the news & collect 12" GI Joe, too.

                          I was just thinking in terms of retro-appeal with my '70s Toyman

                            Yeah that was cool nods to Johnny west and G.I. Joe,
                            check out the simpons episode where Lisa goes to the creater of Malibu Stacey doll and she tells lisa how she dated Joe ,Johnny and I think Jim and steve.
                            and Joe come in wanting her back !

                            they come in green.

                              My dollartree had both the Green and Tan army men... they had pretty bad camo. I would have preferred just plain tan or plain green.
