Army Men was this odd franchise. The original game was a Toy Story inspired hybrid RTS/Action game for PC with console roots It wasn't particularly great but turned into a low end franchise with a million entries linked by the theme for every platform. The must have kept selling, but it's one of those things nobody had any passion for.

you were a kid. a shatterproof ruler is much more epic to a kid than when you're grown up.

I was a HUUUGE fan of this series as a kid. The four armies were the green (heroes) the tan (enemies) and then two armies you very rarely saw. The blue, which were a very sneaky faction that were kind of known as spies and saboteurs and the grey who were basically the Russians. The grey were almost never in the game, as they were wiped out by the tan in back story material. You generally saw blue and grey as just casualties along the way, the tan already having killed them in the campaign you were playing. Also I never played Green Rogue…and I’m glad I missed this one. So I can still remember the series fondly

I remember having Army Men II on PC way back in the day. For kind of a goofy overhead real-time tactical game, it had its charms. I don't know what's scarier; the fact that the series continued for twelve thousand games, or the fact that they all came out within about a five year span.

How is the main character wearing trousers when he emerges from the Pokédex? Did the machine who cloned him from the other army men's DNA put it on him? Were the trousers also created from their DNA? If so, is it sentient? What if someone ripped it off him? Would the trousers feel pain?

I never understood when movies and games did this, they take an idea like Army men, and instead of bracing the idea of a bunch of toy soldiers fighting, they try being so serious with it. Imagine a comedic type of game where it's set in various children's playrooms and toy sets like model trains and whatnot. Why not embrace the idea instead of trying to make it like other 3rd person shooters.

Guys I love your content so much please never stop, even though you are extremely underrated and deserve way more subs your content is unbelievably good, keep it up

The whole fun of Army Men (Sarge's Heroes at least) were the times you were literally in a human-sized environment (a bathroom, a kitchen, and of course who can forget the Christmas level?) and had to contend with stuff like stoves, bugs, and trying to climb a couch. This looks and runs like absolute garbage.

I remember buying it at a Costco and reading the manual on the ride home, describing in detail to my parents how every powerup worked.

I kind of like that somebody clearly loved RT and squeezed a bit of it into this game, fun to see.

Right, I forgot this spinoff game was a thing. So, let's list off the dynamic of the setting; Greens are the good guys, tans are the bad guys, purple/blue (it kinda interchanges the two) are spies, and usually any other color is a neutral party. The six characters being bled into the mold are the main and supporting cast of the Sarge's Heroes games. Sunglasses guy was the one that had the rocket launcher, I believe. (I barely remember this stuff. It's been like 10 years since I last played an Army Men game.) Another detail; the plastic army men from this series are from another world where everything is their size, and they find portals (ranging from the traditional toy bucket to a circle made of not-lego bricks) to travel between their world and the real world. Whenever they end up in the real world, it turns into an arms race to grab new (literal) toys to turn into superweapons. It's all nonsense meant for preteens and teens, so don't expect it to be a particularly sensible plot.

This was such a strange game. When I was a kid I really liked a couple of the "World War", "Sarge's Heroes", and "Air Attack" entries in this series. However, I remember that I rented this one for my PlayStation many years ago and was very disappointed with it.
