Army Men Playing Cards by The Futurist Co.

Army Men Playing Cards by The Futurist Co. is a nostalgic tribute to the iconic “Little Green Men” that defined generations of backyard battles and toy-box warfare. Inspired by the classic plastic army figurines of the 1950s and 60s, the deck recreates their unmistakable molded aesthetic with monochromatic green artwork, oval display bases, and vintage military styling throughout every card.

The court cards replace traditional royalty with battlefield specialists drawn directly from the classic toy soldier lineup. Kings, Queens, and Jacks appear as bazooka operators, machine gunners, officers with binoculars, medics, and flag bearers, each posed like miniature plastic figurines frozen mid-action. 

The Jokers expand the battlefield further with M48 Patton-style tanks and commanders emerging from their hatches, while the Ace of Spades features a saluting soldier integrated into a bold tactical spade emblem.

Army Men Playing Cards combines playful nostalgia, toy-inspired design, and military iconography into a deck that celebrates the enduring charm of one of the most recognizable toys ever created. 

Pledge starts at $10 on Kickstarter.
