I work for the Army and these are a fun little thing to add to my desk. Larger than regular green army men, and not bendy like the originals. Quite the conversation pieces at work!

I used to love playing with the little green army men when I was a kid. My father worked construction, and I often went with him, especially on weekends and summer vacation. Often there was a large sand pile on the job site, for use in plastering. I would build elaborate mountainside fortresses that one army would have to defend and that the other would have to storm. Occasionally, I'd lose track of an army guy and he'd come out of the other side of the cement mixer, to my father's displeasure.I don't know to what extent my love for the little guys influenced my decision (probably not much), but I did end up doing 4 years in the US Army. By then, of course, the army had switched to camouflage, so I never got to be the guy in the green fatigues.Much later in life, I started a regular yoga practice, something I continue to this day.When I saw these Yoga Joes online, I immediately went to Amazon and ordered a set. And they are as awesome as they look. Well-molded, but very much reminiscent of the toys from my youth, and each in a unique, but clearly identifiable asana. I've scattered them around my home and office, so they catch my eye throughout the day. They bring a smile to my face, and everyone I've shared them with has reacted with pleasure.I guarantee there is someone in your life who would enjoy having one or more of these little green guys. Maybe you.

Well made - meaning they balance as expected. A cool twist on a classic set of figurines. Brilliant!

These were the perfect present for my sister. Packaged wonderfully, and all little guys came in a different pose.

Ok... I want to dispel some of the reviews that I've read on these little gems. I'm an avid metal toy soldier collector but will dabble in plastic rarely if something really gets my attention. That Something would be these little guys. I'm unsure of the reviews that found these figures lacking in size. They measure about 62mm in height. For comparison, standard Britains' toy soldiers are 54mm (1/32) and the 'New' Toy Soldiers, sold by King and Country, Gunn Miniatures, etc. clock in at 60mm (1/30 scale). So, these are actually *larger* than the largest familiar scale to most toy soldier collectors or purchasers. They are made out of what appears to be polystyrene. This is the type of plastic used in, say, scale models. Plastic came about as a remedy for those parents who were tired of buying super expensive metal soldiers, only to have your kid crack a few weapons, arms, or heads off. It is, to paraphrase Miracle Max, '*Mostly* Unbreakable". It is certainly more brittle than standard 'soft' Army Green toy soldiers but on the plus side, polystyrene mends very easy and requires no more than a Super-Glue type of cement. And honestly, were you actually going to play with soldiers that average about $3.50 per figure?! If so, you might want to consider moving over to painted metal figures for higher quality and realism if you've got that type of budget. These guys are doing yoga. Nary a Brown Bess, Enfield, MP40, or MG42 in sight.I've also noticed some complaints about broken figures. It's possible that the first figures were sent loose. They are now sent in a plastic shell with cut-outs for heads, hands, feet. I treated this like I would a model and used a small snips to trim away any packaging that encased limbs. All came out without any difficulty.While they don't 'fit' the theme of other soldiers that I own, they are their own, individual theme. Placed in a cabinet with others, they'll still stand out as 'unusual'. The Yoga Joes are unique enough, and diversified in pose enough, and, yes, priced well considering how much a good collector set costs that I'm confident that they would be snapped up at the Chicago Toy Soldier show,East Coast Toy Soldier show, or any other venue.

I love these bad boys-they are perfect!!

As a fairly low volume art toy, the pricing on Yoga Joes is very fair. My bigger issue is they’re a little bit brittle, so if they’re going to be toys kids are going to play with, you may end up super gluing a couple of them back together. I love the concept, though, of turning a toy that glorifies war into one that promotes peace.

Great product. My patients get a kick out of it when I tell them that they need to stretch. I tell them that STRETCH NEEDS TO BE THE WORKOUT! NOT JUST STRETCH BEFORE WORKING OUT, BUT STRETCH NEEDS TO BE THE WORK OUT. Then I show them the Yoga Joes and they seem to get the point after that. I see mostly Soldiers who tend to overdo their workout and their work throughout the day. When they are running out of time during PT in the morning, the first thing to go is stretch because they have to make more time for running. Stretch is important! Great training aid. Thank you.
