Not a bad selection there but where is the guy wading through water with his rifle over his head? I also see no minesweeper doomed to be useless in the fight. I guess the grey and/or beige bad guys have been defeated already too, or are they waiting in a meticulously placed ambush off camera?

Saw these today and they're good quality for toy soldiers, no mold lines and nice sculpts. My only problem was the price - £10 for 104 pieces isn't bad, but not cheap enough for an impulse buy.

Back in 1991 Dragon magazine made a game where Army Men are pitted against an invasion of Dinosaurs- a game anyone could play with cheap dollar store toys. DINO WARS! allows you to use any army men & plastic dinosaurs you have lying around to re-enact both childhood play and lost-in-time B-movie action, only this time with dice, tape measures, and shiny rules instead of just your lousy imagination. It is really geared towards two-sided battles, humans vs. dinosaurs, but you can have as many players as you have room and figures for per side.

there was a russian brand named Technolog or Tehnolog, i think, they made untraditional platisc soldiers, fantasy stuff and robots, but those were kinda expensive ($10 or so for 6 or 7 units)

Tehnolog
These are awesome anon and I'm saying it as someone who isn't really into miniature figurines.
I just searched for them and found out they're sold on Amazon too (not a scalped price).
I don't know if the company changed it's name..it says by Fantasy Battles.
>kinda expensive
Seems like they have good reason behind that, it's not just the company itself being Russian, but it's also being made there.

They're great, its just a shame about the price of them. I can't post the Amazon link (something about it being spam), but you can find 10 of them for $17.
