BMC Toys Revolutionary War 34-Piece Army Men – British, American & French Figures | 1:32 Scale

Overview

Step into a pivotal moment in history with the BMC Toys American Hero Collector Series set for the Battle of Yorktown. This 34-piece collection blends three nations to tell a story of strategy, endurance, and teamwork: 11 Colonial Americans in blue, 12 British Redcoats in red, and 11 French soldiers in antique white. The lineup also includes three iconic leaders — General George Washington, General Charles Cornwallis, and Marquis de Lafayette — recreated in a classic toy soldier style that appeals to kids and collectors alike.

The figures are designed to evoke a nostalgic, yet refreshed look. The 2021 release features deeper colors and a soft plastic feel that’s friendly to small hands while preserving period-appropriate silhouettes. Each piece stands up to display or play, and the overall group creates a visually engaging scene that can spark imagination and storytelling without relying on screens.

Build, color, and scale

Made from fairly flexible LDPE plastic, these figures balance durability with a gentle poseability that makes handling easy and satisfying. They measure up to 2.44 inches tall, placing them at roughly 1:32 scale—an approachable size for dioramas, shelf displays, and tabletop setups. The color treatment, with antique white French troops and saturated blue and red uniforms, helps each faction read clearly in scenes of marching, fortifications, and skirmishes.
