Army men
''... For many American boys, playing with army men and exploding them with fireworks is like a rite of passage. This cultural phenomenon was represented in Army Men, a popular series of computer games introduced by 3DO in the 1990s. Green army men that came to life like the other toys in the movie were also among the characters in the 1995 Disney movie, Toy Story. Gummy army men candy are also available.
Because these toys are readily available and affordable, they encourage a variety of creative types of play. As such, they can be set up in many different ways. They are especially well suited for the sandbox, or simple wargames with rubber balls or marbles, which can be rolled or thrown at army men. ..."
