I made my cousin a checkerboard with Army colors and material. It is a quilted piece and I wondered how to make the checkerboard pieces stay on the board. I put magnets inside the columns. Now what do I do?
I ordered Army men and put magnets on the bottom of the men and with the magnets inside the columns it was a perfect match. They were the right size, and being two colors just perfect for two teams.

These are the best value Army Men I have purchased in years. I am an avid collector and these are incredible in their detail and quality of plastic. The plastic is soft but firm. You won't have any broken rifles or bayonets in this crew. A great selection. My only wish is that they would release a pack of 40 in one color. The group with the boat is great but has a lot of sitting and parachute figures which are cool, but the plastic would've been better spent on 8 more riflemen. And also both sets include the same figures and amounts, just with the added boat crew, paratroopers, and sitting figures. I feel you get more bang for your buck with this set. They are about 40 cents a figure.. and worth it.

The grandchildren were impressed with the detail and design of these army men figures. I think that says a lot since it reflects the opinions of a 6, 9, 12, and 14 year old. I would definitely recommend these.

Had to add to our current army man collection. This set is adorable as advertised and totally worth the money. My child is obsessed with boat and anything military he flipped when he got these!

They are too large for the hobbyist and cannot be painted. They are very good for children.
