Character Spotlight: Green Army Men from ‘Toy Story’

The Green Army Men are a group of characters from Disney Pixar’s animated film Toy Story. They were purchased as a “Bucket o’ Soldiers” containing 200 pieces. Their leader, Sarge, instructs the soldiers to perform covert missions around Andy’s house and backyard in the first couple of films. Plastic life-size Green Army Men are scattered throughout Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While the Green Army Men do not have a traditional meet-and-greet at Walt Disney World, they make regular appearances. Below, we’ll preview a few photos and discuss where you might find them.
