BMC Toys WW2 Iwo Jima Marines – 36-Piece Plastic Army Men, 1:32 Scale

Overview: A historically inspired 36-piece set

From the American Hero Collector Series, this BMC Toys collection captures the scale and spirit of the Iwo Jima campaign with 36 plastic army men. The lineup features 12 distinct U.S. Marine poses in olive drab, crafted for durability and crisp detailing. Figures reach up to about 2.45 inches tall and sit in a classic 1:32 scale, a nod to traditional metal miniatures reimagined in modern plastic for play and display. The set carries an official license from King & Country, aligning with a long history of historically themed figures.

Constructed from sturdy polypropylene, these figures are designed to endure frequent handling while preserving fine lines and little to no excess flashing. Packaged in a polybag with a header card, the set is ready for gifting or easy shelving in a classroom, studio, or playroom.
