My husband bought this set for our son over a year ago who was then five. I cannot believe how often he plays with his army men. He uses his imagination and motor skills; and he asks questions about the different countries represented by the soldiers. I highly recommend this toy.

Purchased as a gift for my 5 year old son. He plays with them a lot. Not as good a quality as I recall from my own childhood, but they get the job done at a reasonable $$$ for what they are.

I remember seeing this at Longs and wanted it so bad. So, years later I was suprised to see the same thing, in different packaging at Rite Aid. They are more fun than most army men (because you can play WWII and different uniforms.) The British get guys with bagpipes to boost morale (or to anoy the crud out of the German grenadiers.) The Japanese get swordsmen and the Americans get pilots/paratrooper guys (with no parachute but they have machine guns.)

When I bought this toy for my son, I thought initially it might just be the same molded plastic soldiers for all of the four countries, with the exception of the color of the plastic. I am happy to report that I was wrong. The four countries' soldiers represented here (Germany, Japan, USA, and UK) are rendered the way they might have actually looked in WW2. The German soldiers are molded in gray, and have the signature Stahlhelm helmets and the distinctive gas mask cases, the British soldiers (molded in yellow) have the distinctive soup-dish helmets and their machine gunners appear to have Bren guns, the Americans are correctly armed with M3 Grease guns and garand rifles, and the Japanese have officers with samurai swords.
As to the level of detail - well, they're plastic molded soldiers. They were meant to be played with by children, so they're not collector quality renderings with sharp detail. There's the usual leaky-mold-with-rough-plastic-edges common with these types of toys, and the overall detail is pretty rudimentary. You wouldn't even paint these and put them in a diorama, but for my 5-year-old son, he loves them.

Here is a good one-stop shopping bucket for many poses of toy army men. The figures are made by the HingFat toy manufacturing company of China. There are 4 nationalities each in its own color, and at least 12 poses per nationality. You get a good variety and a good quantity for the price.
Those of you who remember Louis Marx and Company army men will be disappointed in these knock-offs. Although many of the poses will be familiar, in reality these figures are slightly smaller and less detailed than the Marx figures. They are also molded of a harder plastic that will snap more easily than the classics. You can see lots of sprue twists and mold lines in the figures. Sculpts are not very crisp. Some of the poses are slightly out of scale as if the molds were acquired from different sources.
Historically speaking there is good and bad here. At nationalities at least have proper national weapons. You also gotta love the national stereotypes: the Brits have a bagpiper, the Japanese have a sword wielding officer, one of the Germans looks much like Rommel. Many poses are familiar from famous photos. On the other hand, the German army has a Bundesrepublik Deutschland flag, U.S.A has a 50 star flag.
Kids young and old will certainly love the set as they are colorful, varied and plentiful. I have not yet tested these items with pyrotechnics or flame.
