Review: Let the battle begin! Invasion - So....these are 1960s Marx mold army men. That alone is a special thing. Exactly as you remember if you were a kid in the 60s and 70s. These arent inexpensive but they are exactly what you remember....all the detail and I think they even feel the same....not too soft and not too hard plastic either. Havent stepped on one yet to know for sure.... Do you want to gift these to someone? Check. Do you want them for yourself to bring happiness or actually use in a diorama? Check. Do you want to gift these to a child? Well....not sure on that as you can get hundreds at a dollar variety store for the same price. BUT....these are high quality VERY detailed and are a bit bigger than the super cheapies. I included a pic of crawlers...the small weird color one is a dollar store man so you can see the huge difference. Also, this color is the correct color of what we had back then. So I got two different bags. BMC U.S. Soldiers 1960s Plastic Army Men 31 pieces. Comes with a raft, two paddlers, sitting men and I got 4 parachute guys in my bag with various other poses. The bases have nothing stamped on them. The old ones had the round Marx symbol. I am blown away these are the same. One of my sitting guys was deformed but all others were clean and neat with very high detail and no burs or flashing or problems. Just great since one guy usually gets pummeled anyway....lol. The others I chose are Iwo Jima: pictured a few in last photo. These are slightly larger and are stamped BMC Toys China and some numbers. Highly detailed, same type hardness very close or same color. Many different poses from my other bag. Also! The bazooka Joe's bazookas are removable! They come individually wrapped in the bigger bag. So detailed...a true pleasure to hold and enjoy. It is up to you how much you like to spend but i do feel I got a piece of history with the old Marx molds and a toy I had enjoyed so much as a child. An older child or adult would appreciate the big difference in these and the cheap dollar for 30 or more bags of men. A younger child imo just wants hundreds of men so quality may not be so impressive. There is really no comparrison to quality of these versus those cheapies. I am very happy with my purchases and wish I could afford more. They are still addictive even though Im old! I would love to get the cowboys and indians at some point since I had those as a kid also. Review: Great toy! - Bought these for one of my grandsons who is 5, his older brother is a Marine and he loves anything Marine related, I was happy to find ones that said USMarines on the package instead of Army. I also got military trucks that were just the right size. He has had so much fun making up missions for these to go on. They toy looks like a nice quality ## Features - BMC WW2 Iwo Jima 36 Piece Figure Set - Color: Olive Drab Marines - Size: Up to 2.45 inches tall - Scale: Approximately 1:32 - Packaging: Polybag with Header Card ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B077CK5TQQ | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Animal Theme | no animal theme | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #91,753 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #118 in Kids' Play People Figures #967 in Play Figure Playsets | | Brand Name | BMC Toys | | Collection Name | American Hero Collector Series | | Color | Od Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 412 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Historical Education | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00741801400346 | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Is Autographed | No | | Item Dimensions | 8.5 x 3.5 x 8.5 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8.5"L x 8.5"W x 3.5"H | | Item Weight | 10 Ounces | | Manufacturer | BMC Toys | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 60.00 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 40034 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | BMC-40045 | | Model Number | BMC-40034 | | Number of Pieces | 36 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Outer Material | Plastic | | Play Activity Location | Tabletop | | Scale | 1:32 | | Set Name | BMC WW2 Iwo Jima US Marines Plastic Army Men | | Size | 36 Piece Set | | Sub Brand | BMC Toys | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Team Name | U.S. Marines | | Theme | Military | | Toy Figure Type | Miniature Figure | | UPC | 741801400346 | | Unit Count | 36 Count | | character | Soldier | ## Images ![BMC WW2 Iwo Jima US Marines Plastic Army Men - 36 American Soldier Figures - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81l7fDLp5BL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these made of flexible plastic, like old Marx plastic toy soldiers?** A: BMC plastic soldiers are not as soft as Marx soldiers but they are not made of brittle plastic either. BMC marines are well sculpted and made of solid plastic. I guess best description is a firm plastic. Good quality. BMC Normandy US Army and Germans are not of same quality as the IWO JIMA soldiers **Q: How many poses are for each?** A: There are twelve poses altogether. Just like the old Marx army men (they are the original Marx molds) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let the battle begin!

They toy looks like a nice quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best quality and detail for the money *by D***D on October 19, 2020* I ordered these and several others manufactured by the same company for my children. The quality of these are above and beyond what you typically find in local stores. They are made of non brittle plastic so they should last for years to come. The detail is much better than the run of the mill cheap versions I find locally and not one was damaged or misshapen when they arrived. I will definitely be purchasing more from this company in the future. My children couldn't be happier, highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - BMC WW2 Iwo Jima US Marines Plastic Army Men - 36 American Soldier Figures - BMC WW2 Japanese Plastic Army Men - 30 Imperial Soldiers of Japan 1:32 Figures - BMC CTS WW2 German Assault & Medics Plastic Army Men - 24pc Gray Soldier Figures --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/61258626-bmc-ww2-iwo-jima-us-marines-plastic-army-men-36](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/61258626-bmc-ww2-iwo-jima-us-marines-plastic-army-men-36) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-31*
