Wife's comment on seeing images: "Our son is too old for toys!"

Son's comment: "No, I'm not. Those are cool."

My (unvoiced) comment: "He'll have to fight me for them."

Nobody listened to my idea of making G.I. Joes with interchangeable heads.

Hell, even the excreble 1970’s Joes had a black member.

So now we have to be politically correct about toy soldiers??????? Sheesh...............

They didn’t say, but I will ask — how do we know which one is the gay one when we have the new diverse group of toy soldiers which reflect the diversity they are seeking??????

[spodefly]

There may not be any brown skin, but I am pretty sure the one on the right is gay.

[Krankor]

What about a cowardly soldier? A stupid one? A drunken lout? I mean, to be fair, you gotta represent everybody.

Daughter says grandson can't have them because they have index fingers in the trigger guard instead of extended along and above.

She's a real bitch about gun safety. I did well.

Those are cool, but these are way cooler:

I’m trying to get a paratrooper from the 82nd or 101st circa D-Day with a Thompson for a personal weapon. I want the offspring to play with it instead of the metrosexual Ken dolls that they team up with the Barbies.

What a load of crap. sheeeesh!!!! Some people have just way too much time on their hands. Those miserable people need to get a REAL job and do something productive.
I'm sick and tired of being criticized for being a white, married to a woman, straight adult man. No matter what we do, it is wrong. I was accused of being a slave owner the other day on another website. But I cleared up that misconception quickly by telling the ignorant bastard I was Canadian and just the military in the United States and my family tree never included a separate branch off owning slaves.
I also thought the democRATS said if Obama (half white and half black) got into office, the racial problems would be resolved. Idiot me, believing what a politician, a democRAT politician at that said. We all know how to tell when a politician is lying, his lips are moving. Old but goody.

All of the 25 images included in publicity material showed white men, despite 9 per cent of Armed Forces personnel being women and 6 per cent being from ethnic minorities.

They probably should have had a few women and minorities, but 9% and 6% are not exactly overwhelming numbers. No doubt what group still supplies the British fighting forces.

(They should definitely have had a ghurka with that deadly knife.)

These are way too realistic to have much fun with. Those cheap bag-o-soldiers we use to play with in the 1960s offered a young boy a world of possibilities, when inventing battles.
Ones with broken off limbs were used as casualties. The useless ones, like the guys with the mine detectors would often get killed by a flame thrower, really me with lit match.
These realistic ones are way too expensive to even think about burning or chewing off a bent limb. What fun is that?

[JillValentine]

I made soldiers out of my Barbie dolls. Presto! Instant female warriors.

[Eagles6]

So statistically one of these figures should have been a black, muslim, Jewish, one legged, lesbian dwarf in transition.

I have been collecting the "Ultimate Soldiers" series for year. I have many of the 1st series tanks, soldiers and aircraft all in new condition, boxed.

Anyone interested? I could take inventory.

I was going to give them to my son to play with and I have, but I kept on collecting them.

A lot of good they do in AC storage...

Anyway, these are awesome toys and even if I just get to look at them they are VERY COOL...
