Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 54 Miscellaneous Vehicles Pt 2 Delivery Van - Yellow SP

First up is this 'Delivery Van' in yellow soft vinyl plastic. These are copies of Renwal's van which was made in a hard styrene plastic. The van measures 4.125" (10,47cm)  x 1.5" (3,81cm) W x 1.125" (2,85cm) H.

'DELIVERY VAN' is molded on the roof but is a bear to make out in the photograph

The trucks have 'PAYTON PRODUCTS, INC.' molded underneath, but they were - for me - practically impossible to photograph regardless of the color of the truck. Anywho, the markings are there.

For the next few days we're gonna look at a couple of miscellaneous vehicles that Payton sometimes packaged with their sets:

-Delivery Van

-Tanker Truck

both in soft vinyl plastic

I have seen photos of these two trucks in olive green - which one would expect to see in Little Green Army Men sets. BUT, just as the aircraft came in olive green and various bright colors, it would not surprise me if Payton packaged the brighter colored trucks in the sets as well. I say all that because the olive green trucks are VHTF while the bright colored trucks are a easier to track down, leading me to believe you were more likely to find a colored truck in a set than anything else.

Angelfire was recently purchased by another company and the first thing they did was screw it all up!! Apparently none of the blogs hosted by Angelfire are now viewable. Let's hope the incompetent fools are able to fix their screw up and bring Kent's website back on-line!)
