Plastic Army Men — 3D Model Collection
A complete collection of classic green plastic toy soldiers — the kind you played with as a kid, now game-ready in Unity. Eight fully rigged characters, two detailed vehicles, eleven weapons, gear, structures, and accessories.
Important — what's included and what's not
This is a 3D model and rig pack. All characters have Mecanim Humanoid rigs, which means you can retarget any Humanoid animation to them immediately — Mixamo, Unity's Starter Assets, your own animations, or any animation pack from the Asset Store.
Included: idle animation, static poses, fully rigged Humanoid skeletons, IK chains on Flamethrower and Radio Operator.
Not included: walk, run, attack, or death character animations. These are widely available for free (Mixamo.com offers hundreds of free Humanoid animations that work with these characters out of the box).
Why no animations? Every game has different animation needs — an RTS plays differently from an FPS which plays differently from a tower defence game. Rather than include animations that might not fit your project, these characters are set up to work with whatever animation system you choose.
Free animations that work with this pack:
Characters (8 rigged soldiers)
All characters share a base mesh and Humanoid rig, making it easy to use the same animations across all of them. Several static poses are included for placing pre-posed soldiers in dioramas, menus, or tower defence placement spots.
Vehicles (2 detailed models)
Jeep (15,000 vertices)
Amphibious Seep (16,000 vertices)
Weapons (11 types)
Rifle, Pistol, Hand Grenade, Bazooka, Flamethrower, Assault Rifle, Trench Gun, Sub Machine Gun, Land Mine, Sniper Rifle, .30 Cal Machine Gun
Each weapon is a separate prefab that can be attached to any character's hand bone.

Special features
Toggleable base plate — every soldier stands on the classic plastic base plate. Toggle it on or off at runtime or in the editor using the included tool. You can even animate the base appearing or disappearing. Base on for toy-box aesthetics, base off for more realistic gameplay.
IK chains — the Flamethrower's hose and the Radio Operator's cables use Unity's Animation Rigging package for inverse kinematics. The hoses and cables follow the character's movement naturally.
Lip-sync mouth textures — bonus mouth shape textures (1024x1024) included for animated
lip-sync via texture swapping. Pair with Animation Tools for audio-driven mouth animation.
Mecanim Humanoid rigs — all characters use Unity's Humanoid rig configuration. Retarget any Humanoid animation from Mixamo, the Asset Store, or your own library. One animation works on all 8 characters.
Static poses — pre-posed character variants included for diorama scenes, menu screens, promotional art, or tower defence placement.
Performance
Every character is only 1,185 vertices. Optimised for mobile, WebGL, and large-scale scenes where you need dozens of soldiers on screen without killing performance. Detailed enough for close-up shots in stylised or toy-themed games.
