Good pick
Clicked here to post this exact same comment.
I keep finding these boring things that say "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY" on them, but on the plus side I've found a few coins and old bottlecaps to take home!
The one hoisting his gun over his head in victory waaay too early in the battle
That guy ruled
Both Victory and Surrender pose. Two messages, one figure.
I'm that guy crawling on the ground that kinda looks like it's dancing if you stand it up on its feet.
Omg I wasn't the only one that did that?
BAZOOKA
The machine gunner guy
That guy was cool
Mortar guy
He always seemed smart and capable
Theyrenall good calls but I agree. Confident stance
Laying prone. Seems chill.
Huge boost to the camo index as well
I always appreciate the dynamism of the pose for the fellas who were in the middle of throwing a grenade, I don't think they had any other weapon
Honorable mention to the binocs officer, used to love that one
Yes and the Grenade throwers were always pretty rare. In a big pack of 50 you'd get like 3.
That guy just had a grenade left. Very last stand
The one who frags his commander
Why does Dirt_Owl always get the good toys. Not fair 
The green army guys can be fighting whatever war you want
Oh in that case I'll be the guy with the little medic bag
Crucial guy. Heals people with stuff from the bag
Chunks of plastic and a cigarette lighter cures all wounds.
Aspirationally the parachute one but realisticly the one in the VCR.
I wanna be the guy with the radio who keeps calling a wendys instead of ordering an airstrike
Radio guy is dope. He doesn't even have a weapon, he'd armed solely with calling Wendy's for an airstrike
"Sir, it's a felony to tease the order box."
Binoculars guy
We called him glasses, RIP
flamethrower guy
born to grill
The one left on the radiator too long
the radio guy
I'd be one of the tan ones
Binocular Guy on Green Team: enemy spotted!
The one that is inexplicably a different shade of green and slightly different size from all of the other ones.
"You will notice my ludicrous scar and obvious limp"
That remind me anyone play those old "Army Men" video games with the green army figures?
Hell yeah. They were kinda dope.
Those were the first time I legit feared friendly fire by mortar
Bazooka guy doing a lunge!
"Every day is a leg day." ~ Bill Burr
bazooka guy
Acab includes those little green guys
One of the ones lying down. I'm old and tired.
The big magnifier glass that melts them
The ones without weapons (the only ones I was allowed….lol)
The one that someone perched on top of a lamp that later turned on and melted it, which a parent only noticed when the intensely acrid smell of burning plastic filled the house.
I'm ok.
