An Army Men franchise sequel, made by fans for fans, but also for newcomers
Prepare for a miniature war in Army Men Revolution. You are a Plastic Soldier who battles across countertops, through hallways, bathrooms and into the backyard, all to save the Toykind way of life. This game is an initiative of the Army Men Toyverse Project.
IMPORTANT: After this introductory page, with exception of every Posts and the “Community HQ“, “Toy Collectors” and “News” tabs, the rest of this website is written from the perspective of the plastic soldiers from the story of our Army Men Toyverse & fan video game sequel. The “out of the universe” information can be found in tabs at the end of each article, in a dropdown section.
Bloodless Toy Violence!
The Army Men video games franchise is a series that taps into the nostalgic charm of playing with plastic toy soldiers, bringing them to life into video games digital battlefields. The games are known for their whimsical yet strategic gameplay, where players command armies of plastic soldiers in their war against the Tan Army and other factions.
The franchise began in the late 1990s and quickly gained popularity for its unique concept and humorous take on military strategy games.
Imagine a Call of Duty or Fortnite but instead of people, it’s plastic soldiers shooting each other in gigantic home environments!
Plastic Warfare: Are you Plastic enough?
Players navigate through various environments that mimic household settings, turning mundane locations into war zones, complete with garden hoses as rivers, backyards in jungles and books as barricades.
Throughout the series, players encounter a variety of soldier types, vehicles, and weapons, even different toys, all stylized to match the plastic toy aesthetic. The games often feature a mix of real-time strategy, third-person shooting, and action-adventure elements, providing a diverse gaming experience.
The Army Men Videogames
The Army Men series is a collection of video games produced by 3DO from 1998 until the release of Army Men: Turf Wars in 2002. From there Global Star Software & Volcano Force Studios did it. The games revolve around plastic toy soldiers engaged in battles across various imaginative settings. Here are some key points about the series:
- Plot: The plot centers around four nations of plastic toy soldiers. Early games were more serious, in 1/1 scale world, with the only reminder that the player’s men were plastic being that when they died, they would melt or shatter. However, the series later took on a more light-hearted tone as the Army Men discovered the Real World and held battles in unexpected places like kitchen counters or flower gardens, in a 1/32 scale.
- Inspiration: The games were inspired by commonplace toy soldiers, often known as green army men. These figures were originally produced as cheap copies of tin figures and have become some of the most well-known toys in the world.
- Game Titles: The series includes several games, such as Army Men, Army Men II, Army Men 3D, Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes, Army Men: Air Attack, Army Men RTS and many more. Each game explores different scenarios and locations within the toy soldier universe we call “Toyverse“.

These games blend humor, imagination, and plastic warfare in a unique way!
The Army Men franchise has left a lasting impression on its fans, fondly remembered for its creative approach to war gaming and its ability to turn the familiar into the extraordinary. Whether leading a squad through the underbrush of a backyard or piloting toy helicopters over a sandbox, the games invite players to rekindle the imaginative battles of their childhoods with a digital twist. But this saga ended abruptly, abandoned & incomplete, with a bitter open ending. WE ARE HERE TO FIX THIS.
Heroes are made, not born
The story of Army Men Revolution, our fan sequel videogame puts us in the plastic shoes of a plastic soldier, after 20 years since we last saw them in the videogame Army Men: Major Malfunction.
A world exists that’s quite different from our own. The miniature Plastic World, home of the Army Men, where everything is to their scale (2 inch / 5 cm). There, during years, a battle raged out of control – a battle between the forces of good and evil, Green and Tan… but today that changed. Their world is at peace, threats from the other worlds forced them to form an alliance. Today the war is between the Army Men and other bigger Toy menaces!.
Welcome to the Toy Multiverse
Everything changed a lot… enemies are now friends, and friends are now the enemy. There are unimaginable and powerful new foes. Cutting-edge technology has appeared on scene for quite some time. And strange and new worlds to explore via the Portals, a kind of mysterious doors that can transport you to other universes. The Army Men’s adventure has only just begun!
The perspective of a living Plastic Soldier
News correspondent Butterscotch is in charge of carrying out the content of this website so that everyone in the Plastic World and Toy Worlds can stay informed about their own history in progress. This website is authored by the Green media outlet Green Plastic News.
But, on a personal note, I want to make it clear: As an honorary member of the Green Nation and an outcast of the Tan Nation, most of the information I have access is from the Green Army Men. Therefore the information about the rest of the Nations and Toykinds is what was collected by the Green Government and Green military intelligence.
The term “Toyverse” doesn’t directly appear within the official Army Men video games franchise, but we can provide some context based on the information available.
While the specific term “Toyverse” isn’t officially used, it aptly describes the imaginative world where plastic toy soldiers come to life in the Army Men games. These games allow players to experience epic battles from a
miniature perspective, turning everyday environments into war zones for these tiny warriors.
If you’re a fan of nostalgic gaming, the Army Men series is definitely worth exploring!

ARMY MEN PROJECT DETAILS:
What is the Army Men Toyverse project?
Initially our project was going to be a video game only, Army Men Revolution. But currently we are thinking about something broader, not just a video game, but a series of MODs, animations and stories in different formats, mostly interactive, which together we will going to call “Army Men Toyverse”.
Why “Toyverse”? Because it’s not just about the plastic soldiers, but about the other different types of toys, here called “toykinds” which is equivalent to saying “species”, but in this case the “species” of toys. And by Toyverse we mean the entire world they live in, which is not only the Plastic World and the Human World (Real World), but all the other Toy themed worlds. For example the Medieval World, which is like a kind of medieval fantasy world with dragons and characters like Merlin, King Arthur, Dracula, Don Quixote de la Mancha, Frankenstein and Van Helsing, Robin Hood, etc. A world with a very attractive theme for that kind of particular sector of potential players, full of classic characters… copyright-free lol.
And the same thing happens with the Prehistoric World, Space world, Brick World (the world of Army Men equivalents for LEGO) and Action World, the world of action figures and superheroes, among many more. FINALLY, we think it’s better to focus our project on a universe of toys, the Toyverse, also called Microverse, to be able to collaborate with many more people. Without going any further, Attack on Toys is a game that combines Army Men plastic soldiers, action figures and LEGO figures fighting against each other.
It started out as a game of plastic soldiers very much in tune with the Army Men franchise, and after expanding by making Action Figures and LEGO figures playable, it did not lose its essence, its Army Men identity. And on the contrary, it is now played by those people who like LEGO figures and action figures.
But in our case the Real World will be the most important part of the project, which will also involve battles with animals. Anyway, you can read about all these things on this website.
This website is the first step into this Army Men Toyverse project. Is written from the perspective of the Army Men, as if they were the ones describing their historical events and classifying the components of their world and everything related to their Toyverse. Each of the video games is taken as stories of historical events.
We reached an agreement between developers regarding the audience of our fan game:
During all this time, working with other people related to the Army Men videogames fandom, we came to the conclusion that a game just for Army Men fans would not be worth our time and hard work, because there are very few of them. It is not a popular topic. And although there are people interested and potentially interested in plastic soldier games, they are not hard fans of this franchise, but rather “normies”: They liked the games or like the theme, but they are not die-hard fans.
So although it will be a sequel to the 3DO’s Army Men franchise, involving its characters, it will be first a game for new audiences, focused on the “new audience” perspective. So no “only hard Army Men content”. And we are going to make new players have to play the old games to discover key things in the story of Revolution, getting the new audience retroactively interested in playing the old game classics.
The story:
The story will progress over time, possibly with the release of DLC in the format of campaigns, seasons or chapters (whatever name we will going to use). It will also be developed on this website, and the players will shape that story, interacting with us and throwing out ideas (Maybe you will know how to solve the “mystery boxes” better than us).
At some point our idea is that each player will be a unique character in this universe, even if they look the same than the rest of the plastic soldiers. They can all be made from the same mold, right?.
Our personal mission:
What are our intentions in all this? In addition to wanting to continue the original Army Men franchise and give it a better closure than that bittersweet ending it had in Army Men: Sarge’s War and Army Men: Major Malfunction, we want to use this story to reflect some current issues that are really important for us. Because, why make a hollow game or story with nothing to say or communicate?
Among some of our intentions are to raise more empathy for the environment & fauna of our planet and other humanity planetary issues in general. For the youngest or the smallest kids, the simple intention of teaching new and interesting things. For this reason we will going to introduce certain things like animals into the game and the ability to collect data about our world. Anyway, stuff like that.
The game universe:
Everything will take place in a universe we called “Toyverse” that has clearly existed for a long time for us (the spectators) with past events, old known characters, known places, etc. But not that long. Something like the first Star Wars movie, which was implied to be set in a large universe that had already existed for a long time, in a story that have a long time background (from original movies to the time of the prequels).
The main universe will be the Real World (Big World) and you can travel to all types of worlds via Portals. Our idea is to dedicate ourselves to the worlds that people most want us to develop. So it will depend on the interest of the players where the game goes. That does not mean that the Plastic World will be left aside. But at least initially, if no one is interested on it, it will be the last thing to be developed further.
These Army Men (plastic soldiers) come from a world different from ours, as the introduction of Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes says “A world exists quite different from our own (…)” and for them our world, the Giant World which they now call “Real World” is an equivalent for us to what would be another planet. And the same regarding with other worlds to which they can travel via the mysterious Portals.
And what would we do, humans, if we went to other planets?: Study them. For this reason, the Army Men study these strange and new worlds (from their perspective), collecting data and trying to solve the mysteries of their existence, since the Plastic World already suspects that their world of origin is the Other World, the Giant World, which they now call “Real World” because they think it’s the real world they come from (all clues point to it). Who created the Army Men? Who put those mysterious Portals?, with what intention?
But at the same time, it’s been a while since the Army Men plastic soldiers are studying these other worlds, and they have already made the mistake of interfering and changing them. We can quote Plastro and all the chaos that broke out when he arrived to the Real World. The same with Brigitte Bleu, who conquered and commanded with her fatal charm several other worlds (or at least they both tried).
But beyond these 2 known examples, in the time between that and Revolution, other events happened, which, like the Plastro and Bleu examples, always brought Plastic World to the brink of extinction. Therefore, in addition to studying the Real World, the Army Men alliance has created rules not to interfere and do not change these worlds, as much as possible, and even restore the natural order in them. For this reason, some missions for players will range from preserving a giant tree intact, to rescuing and healing an injured animal (even defending it to the death).
To finish with this point, what about humans? Well, nobody knows for sure. Everything indicates that this was their world and their species are no longer here, or at least there are not as many as before. This is a really big world, so that’s hard to check. There are reports of sightings, but none can be truly verified.
Gathering the information they left behind, theories suggest that they self-destructed. That is why the alliance of nations created the rules that apply to the exploration and respect for the preservation of other worlds, as well as their own. Balance will make natural progression harmony reign. The imbalance will cause some worlds to disappear, including the Plastic World.
There are other theories, based on the ideas left by humans, that say that everything is a computer simulation or that it is a parallel world. But these are not taken into consideration by the Alliance’s science division.
But to make this a reality, we need you…
