We were sent some Awesome Little Green Men for the purpose of review. All thoughts and opinions are our own.
Jack had seen the Awesome Little Green Men sets around quite a lot before we were sent some for review and had always said he was keen to get some. We were going to put them in the birthday or Christmas present list but after being offered the chance to review some, we couldn’t say no.
A brand new collectible has arrived in the UK, these have already proved popular. The men may be small but their characters are larger than life and serious about the mission ahead. This fresh take on little green army men raises the bar by infusing battle and game play with 100 unique characters to collect in Series 1, including four super rare figures in the green army and the blue army. They all have their own expression and you can collect figures such as Sgt. Juliett and Major Zoomie, each figure with different stats. Can you build the strongest troops to win the battle?
We were sent two packs from series 1 – one with some green men and in some with some blue men which made Jack giggle because of the name. We had a slip of paper with the new recruits but if you lose that, you can easily find them on the website.
Jack had great fun working out which recruits he had and setting them up in battle against each other – sometimes he pitted greens against blues, other times he mixed the colours up to change it up a little.
As with all soldiers, each soldier came with their own dog tag which gave some information about them. When we looked up the figures we had, we had mostly common ones but also had a couple of rare ones which was great and really excited Jack. It is very rare in collectible series to get a rare one on your first purchase,let alone two so Jack was very impressed.
The Awesome Little Green Men provided Jack with hours of fun and he can’t wait to have his friends round to play battles with him. I love the fact that they are a little bit more fun than the usual green army men you can get and the collectible element makes it even more exciting – although it does mean another collection that Jack wants to complete! We will definitely be picking up some more – these are available to buy from Smyths at £3.99 for a blind bag and £10.39 for an assorted starter pack from Amazon {affiliate link} and £24.99 for a deluxe battle pack from Amazon {affiliate link}.
Will you be buying your child some for Christmas?
