Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 68 Sets: Pt 10 Payton Vehicle 'STAR' Set (Dark) with Star Appliques Pt 2 Landing Craft

The first vehicle of the 'STAR' set we'll look at is the Landing Craft. Okay, we've covered the landing craft before back in early February and this one looks the same as that one except for the stickers, but hey, I wouldn't feel as if I've done the set justice if I didn't post these photos.

The one thing I really like about Payton landing craft is their ability to hold tanks, trucks, Jeeps, and figures. It's a proper landing craft - for a toy that is.

Payton's landing craft was one of the best designs made during the golden age of Little Green Army Men. Let's face it, as good as Marx was overall, their landing craft was crap! Payton's could actually fit tanks, trucks, Jeeps, bunches of Army men. etc., and there was no idiotic hump on the deck to impede off-loading. The LCT measures 8" (20,32cm) L x 3" (7,62cm) W x 3"(7,62cm) H to top of ramp.

The diminutive Marx landing craft with that hump on the deck - meant to accommodate the wheel set underneath.
