    New Star Wars Command toys. SW as classic Army Men figures.

    I've heard these are just starting to hit stores. I kinda dig them. Nice 80s retro vibe going on with the bright colors. I'm probably in for a few packs.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    neat, it'd be really cool if they were packed in a bag with a header card like the old army men.

      I would've loved it if they did them in the exact same colors as the Galaxy Laser Team:



      Still, I can see myself picking some of these up. They would be absolutely tremendous to play with at the beach! Nothing beats army men and sand castles!

        Maybe a little less 80s neon but really not too dissimilar. This is one of those things you wonder why they never did it back in the 70s/80s. SW army men seem like such a good fit for the time.

          My son and I are both a little stoked about these. I love army men.

            This should be a fun and fairly inexpensive way for kids to army build. The basic nine figure packs are only $4.99. I hope this really takes off. I'd love little playsets or diorama pieces for these. They are reminding me a bit of the original Kenner Micro Collection which I really liked as a kid.

              I hear rumours that 2015 may see a lot of neat stuff get made into the army man scale, I'm totally on board.

                We were on board for the 'handful of heroes' and the little 'how to train your dragon' buckets a few years back, and my kids enjoyed being able to stuff a handful of figs in their pockets to play with when we ran errands and such.

                I see the micro connection in these as well which makes me want to take a look at them when they hit the shelves, tho I am pretty burned out on SW merch as Hasbro has pretty much sucked the joy out of that universe for me. I would totally flip around tho if they made spaceships reminiscent of the old die-cast ones but in solid plastic colors with little wheels like bathtub toys.

                  Ooh, these are neat. My son loved the Marvel versions from a few years back.

                    I would love LOVE a Death Star playset for these like the one in the original Micro Collection.

                      I have parts of my original Death Star and Bespin sets. I would like to get ahold of the Hoth 'world' setup with all of the icy playsets together one of these days.
                      The little plastic figures would probably work pretty well with these if they were scaled small enough.

                        I think it'd be fun to paint some of these up to bring out the details.

                          If anyone could make them look like masterpieces it would be you sir.

                            The Bespin set is a favorite of mine.
                            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
