Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 62 Sets: Pt 4 Payton - Winneco MIB Set with Gray Tank (No set no.)

While Payton didn't necessarily make adversaries for their Little Green Army Men like Marx did, they did offer vehicles and troops in other than olive green which could serve as the 'bad guys'. This set has a tank with a gray hull but the Army guys are still olive green. In a later post I'll show some different colors.

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 61 Sets: Pt 3 Payton No. 420 US Troops

Now here's a header bag set from my collection. The prices for MIB Payton sets is outrageous and I ended up losing out on several lately. I had bid over $100 each for several small bags which came up on fleaBay and got blown out of the water! This one however, managed to find its way to me and I'm thankful. It also was an aid in helping me to distinguish Marx from Payton howitzers because at the time I got this, I was still a bit unsure.

Notice the cut-down hydraulic pistons

First generation howitzer is on the left with full hydraulic pistons (that's what I'm calling it because I have yet to find a specific nomenclature for these)
At some point the pistons were shortened as seen on the right

What they would look like in real life

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 60 Sets: Pt 2 Salesman Sheets

These salesman sheets are in my collection. Salesman sheets were a very handy tool for salesmen wanting to hawk their goods at a retailer. Instead of carrying around a suitcase full of samples, all they had to do was open their briefcase and pull out a few of these sheets showing what the company offered. If you look closely, you'll notice all the different variety of toys I've been covering since the beginning of January.

Lots and lots of planes here. Trying to discern the various types of planes and matching the sheets to actual toys is a challenge.
Set No. 226 (top, middle) contains several automobiles that I do not have in the collection.

Little Green Army Men and Old West

In an earlier post I alluded to a Payton aircraft which was much larger than the ones blogged. Well, here it is - a beautiful B-17 bomber which actually drops bombs. I've never seen one of these and would really love to get a hold of one!
