Red, White and Blue Part One | Army Men Stop Motion

The pompous Imperial Reds are attacked by a fanatical force of the White Army. Who will prevail?

This army men stop motion film took me the better part of almost two years. I wanted to combine my interest in Qing Chinese history with the Mahdist War, but similar to freshly divorced parents, just because you like two things separately does NOT mean they go well together. Regrettably, Red, White and Blue doesn't involve the United States of America a whole bunch. This army men stop motion animation was supposed to come out before Just Deserts, but procrastination and distractions occurred. I reckon this must be the largest gathering of AIP figures ever seen. I don't know when Part Two will come out, though, so don't ask.

The toy soldiers and figures used in this army men stop motion are from quite an extensive range of brands. The Reds are mostly customized Armies In Plastic figures, from the Boxer Rebellion in China range. Some are from Overall War Nation, an obscure Chinese firm that specialized in East Asian history. The White Army is mostly made of Sudanese Mahdist Dervish and Fuzzy Wuzzy (Beja) warrior figures from Armies In Plastic's Sudan and Egypt category. There are also some Arab (berber) tribesmen and Pashto warriors figures from AIP, along with Jecsan Arabs (another obscure Spanish company), Hat, and Steve Weston Toy Soldier army men in the lot. If you dare ask what army men I used, I will chase you.

The sound effects are pulled from a variety of video games or movies, including but not limited to Total War, Command and Conquer Generals, Half Life 2, Bioshock Infinite, Saving Private Ryan, Lord of the Rings, Khartoum, the Four Feathers, Young Winston, Warlords, 55 Days at Peking, and even the celebrated and perhaps immortal army men classic Plastic Apocalypse.
