Scientific Study #1: “Cockroaches and Mutant Variants: A Comparative Analysis”

In this groundbreaking study, we explore the fascinating world of cockroaches and their mutant counterparts. Dr. Madd’s genetic tinkering has unleashed a perilous threat, endangering both Plastic World and the human realm. Our research sheds light on their behavior, adaptations, and potential consequences.

Introduction

Cockroaches, resilient survivors of Earth’s evolutionary history, have adapted to diverse environments. However, the emergence of mutant cockroaches —engineered by Dr. Madd— poses unprecedented challenges. These genetically altered creatures exhibit enhanced traits, threatening the delicate balance of ecosystems.

Methods
  1. Field Observations:
    ◦ Disguised as ordinary plastic figurines, we infiltrated urban areas, laboratories, and abandoned buildings.
    ◦ Documented the behavior of regular cockroaches and their mutant counterparts.
    ◦ Noted differences in movement, aggression, and feeding patterns.
  2. Laboratory Experiments:
    ◦ Collaborated with Dr. Madd’s captured lab notes (retrieved during a daring mission).
    ◦ Analyzed genetic modifications in mutant cockroaches.
    ◦ Investigated their resistance to common insecticides.
Results

Our findings reveal stark contrasts between regular cockroaches and the mutant variants:

  1. Regular Cockroaches:
    ◦ Nocturnal scavengers: Hide in crevices, forage for food at night.
    ◦ Resilient: Survive extreme conditions, including nuclear fallout.
    ◦ Limited threat: Annoying pests but rarely dangerous to Army Men.
  2. Mutant Cockroaches:
    ◦ Enhanced Aggression: Attack other insects, including regular cockroaches.
    ◦ Speed and Strength: Swift movements, can change direction as if breaking the laws of physics, capable of scaling walls.
    ◦ Resistance to Bullets: Dr. Madd’s modifications grant partial immunity to common weapons, like plastic weapons. Their armor is very resilient, but no so much to metal weapons and explosions.
    ◦ Resistance to Fire: Do not resist explosions, but fire. Common Flamethrower do not work on them.
    ◦ Resistance to Toxins: Dr. Madd’s modifications grant immunity to common insecticides.
Discussion

The mutant cockroaches pose a dual threat:

  1. Plastic World: Their invasion disrupts ecosystems, endangering miniature habitats. If M.C. can’t eat lifeforms, they will eventually start eating plastic, from trees to Army Men.
  2. Real World: Dr. Madd’s creations could escape containment, wreaking havoc on other worlds. During the reign of humans, common cockroaches spread throughout their world, reaching every corner of it. It is statistically probable that the mutants will somehow manage to reach other worlds.
Conclusion

As plastic Army Men, we must collaborate with scientists to contain this menace. Our shared survival depends on understanding these resilient creatures and countering Dr. Madd’s reckless experiments.

Green Plastic News – restoration project

Project to restore old Army Men films into full color

On the anniversary of the 70 years of the famous Green Nation Newscast, using technologies from the extinct humans of the Real World, we present some images of the color restoration in progress, where we can even see several of the nation’s heroes who us have long since left, including their star reporter: Vikki Grimm.

Unboxing a toys variety of Tanks, Action Figures, Plastic Soldiers, Collectibles and more

Good quality and summarized video version of the live Unboxing stream from a while ago, year 2023

Some of us on the team of this Army Men YouTube channel are collectors of all kinds of “toys” that are visually interesting. In fact, that’s what our Video Game project will be about: it won’t just be about Plastic Soldiers, but also about all kinds of toys.

Unboxing toy variety 2023
Among the open boxes and packages it is worth highlighting:

– French metal statue of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte on his horse (Grand Armée de Napoleón 1/32).

– A 1/35 scale M4 Sherman Tank that, although it is a toy, is very good to customize.

– The worst copy in the world (if not the universe) of a Fortnite figure.

– The extremely rare and vintage 1995 Toy State Industrial Sci-Fi Phantom Battle Car, a kind of Lamborghini for the Terminator figures of the time.

– A 7”-inch McFarlane Spawn Deluxe figure of the Mandarin Spawn (WM Collector Series, 90018-7).

– A figure designed by Spin Master with extreme detail down to his armor and weapons, of Thresh, the Guardian of the Chains from League of Legends (LOL) that glows in the dark with top quality material finishes (6 Inches) from the collection Champions, collector grade.

– Diecast Car Ford Taunus GXL (1974) from the “Great Argentine Classics” collection.

– 4” (10 cm) figure of Yasuo and Darius from League of Legends (LOL) designed by Spin Master, from the collector-grade Champions collection.

– Some bootleg figures from Saint Seiya, also called “The Knights of the Zodiac” of Shiryu of the Dragon, Shun of Andromeda and Ikki of Fenix, all with V1 armor, with the extra figures of their armor, separately, armed.

– Rasti and Grido from Argentine joined together so we could enjoy our ice cream while playing (???). We ordered two bowls of our favorite flavors and we got a special spoon that transforms into a toy. There were 6 different models to collect in its first edition and 6 more in the following Halloween 2023 edition. These last 6 formed something bigger…

– At the end, among the Rasti – Grido, several plastic soldiers and some very cool astronauts.
