Do you ever wonder what the kids played with in Stasi-land? Well this is it. Just behind the Iron Curtain the young boys of East Germany gird their loins and steeled their resolve with toy soldiers like these. Made of rubber (or a rubber-like substance) these commie figures were produced in the 1960s-’70s. Note the accurate camouflage and well defined AK47s. Very nice.
These are Steve’s favorites so if you have any info on Eastern Bloc/Cold War manufactured toy soldiers please contact him: 248.586.1022.
