Am I the only one who finds it kinda wierd that they made toys based on the show MASH?

5. Now, I've got that scene from Spaceballs with Yogurt talking about merchandising stuck in my head.

Spaceballs the T-shirt!
Spaceballs the breakfast cereal!
Spaceballs the flamethrower!

3. Not to mention there were no Chinook helicopters during the Korean War

I wouldn't buy 'em.

8. In that they seem to have been simply repackaged mass production army men toys...

No, I don't think there's ever been a mass market appeal for little transvestite medical corpsman toys. Go figure.

9. Oh, there were dedicated M*A*S*H 3.75-inch action figures too

No, really! Tranny Klinger and all!

10. I'll betcha...

those green army men were not particularly popular in the wake of the Vietnam War. But M*A*S*H*, with its pacifist message was a big hit. Interesting that the toy soldier manufacturers managed to get permission to use the TV show's name to sell their toys.
