This fantastic looking series of eight "Green Green Army" figures are reminiscent in theme to Rocket World's classic and iconic "Insurgents Wilderness Gruppo" (I.W.G.) line: endangered species taking up arms against mankind and fighting back! In the instance of these new Panda's Den Toys pieces, these capsule sold figures are cast in green plastic and made to invoke nostalgia for the vintage Green Army Men toys of our youth, complete with World War II appropriate gear attiring them. Included in this series are the military grunt Polar Bear, gas mask wearing Amur Leopard, rapid fire Rhim Gazelle, bazooka wielding Gorilla, sharp eyed Malayan Tapir, Galapagos Giant Tortoise communications specialist, stealth fighting Red Wolf, and Red Panda soldier. While these are expected to be seen all across Asia by the end of the month, there is no word on them making their way to the States… Price at a mere ¥200 (approx. $1.95) apiece, each one also comes with a WW2 inspired propaganda poster!
