Dean had Army men. I had my own Army men. I remember my Army men were new when we took our trip to South Dakota. I have this image in my head of being in some Best Western motel and playing on the floor behind something with my Army men.
"Guys" could include Army personnel but were a collection of random figures. My guys were made up of scuba toys, a mechanic from a Corgi semi, plastic cowboys, etc. And they had names of course...still do. I think I still have most of my guys...I do know "Gringo" is missing. He was a green race car drive that had no lower body because he fit into a plastic race car. But he was good at karate chops as I recall.
Some of my "guys"...(in no order of importance)
> Dennis McArthur (Dennis was a motorcycle rider from a Corgi motorcyle and was pretty cool)
> Arthur McArthur (Dennis' brother. He didn't have a head and I think I got him from our neighbor Curtis Carr)
> Pete Sullivan (a 2-tone swiveling dime story cowboy that had a horse)
> Ken Cowboy (either a friend or related to Pete and he also had a horse)
> Chuck Woody (a gray scuba guy that had a raft and a personal underwater craft. Had two at some point)
> Riggs (he was a mechanic that came with my Corgi semi)
> Nick Knifeman (great names...he was an orange premium from Fritos and had a hood and carried a knife)
I still have these guys in my possession.
