Following WWII, when plastics were reintroduced to make car parts (radio pushbuttons, floormats, etc.) the plastic toy soldier really came into its own. Thanks to Louis Marx & Co., fathers could now buy their sons whole armies of soldiers for

1958's "Battleground" by Marx burst upon the scene with the new 54mm figure
sizes in excellent poses and many new accessories. Shown are Marx GI's.
