The Ultimate Soldier is a toy that was created in 1997. Designed by 21st Century Toys, it originally came in three different sizes and it is still as popular today as it was back then. These days however, the Ultimate version is classed as the 12 inch soldier.
What you may not know is that the Ultimate Soldier range consists of soldiers that have been designed based upon the soldiers that fought in the Korean War, World War II, The Vietnam War and the Operation Desert Storm. As well as the soldiers themselves, you can also purchase weapon sets and vehicles too.
The Ultimate Range
The World War II soldiers tend to be the most popular. Not only can you purchase the American soldiers, but you can also purchase the full range of German soldiers too. This makes them great for children who like to re-enact popular scenes from the war. It can also be very educational.
The soldiers come complete with everything that they would have had on the field. Guns, jackets, boots and a helmet are just a few of the items that come with the action figure when you purchase it. It is the sheer size of the toys that attracts most children to them though.
If you are looking for a boxed figure for your child then the Soldier Bear boxed sets tend to be quite popular. You can choose from a Desert set or a woodland set. Both come with their own accessories that they would need in their individual settings. You can even purchase “The Ultimate Supply Room” which comes with a figure as well as lots of different weapons. It is the perfect gift for those who already have a couple of Ultimate Soldier figures.
Overall there are quite a lot of army men toys available out there. However, the Ultimate Soldier range is definitely one of the most popular.
