Assemble Your Troops for Battle with Awesome Little Green Men

Collectibles like L.O.L. Surprise, Shopkins, and Hatchimals are all the rage right now. If you’re anything like us, you spend your weekends hitting up toy store after toy store trying to track down the latest releases of your favorite collectible toys. They look super cute on display on any shelf or collector’s case, but what if you could take your love of collectibles to the next level? That’s where Awesome Little Green Men come in!

This new line of military themed collectibles from MGA Entertainment adds in a fun battle element that makes for a really cool interactive experience.

Awesome Little Green Men are line of kick-butt soldiers and vehicles. They come blind boxed, just like MGA’s other popular toys L.O.L. Surprise and NumNoms, but once you’ve unboxed your soldiers, it’s time to hit the battlefield. Your collection of toys becomes a troop of male and female soldiers who you can level up and send out to take town enemy territory in a Capture the Flag style game. It makes collecting and trading with your friends totally worthwhile because you aren’t just getting new toys, you’re building out your army that you can really use to take down the enemy.

It’s a refreshing and exciting twist on the collectible genre. We’re hoping to see more collectibles jump on board with the trend of play and other bonus elements that make them more than just a figure and bring the play experience to life.
