I have a half maple leaf nephew. Should I get him the one legged Mountie and the canoe or save one of them for his birthday?

Murray the Missile spotter...... a brave bloke who sits in the snow cloaked woods and waits for Russian Missiles to race by over head.


Millicent the sub crasher.....First female Canadien sub captain. The sub was full of sea men so her foot slipped on the brake......

So many possibilities.....

Wolverine is Canadian, so aren't all the action figure versions of Wolverine technically Canadian action figures?

You will want to get all the scale accessories. The maple syrup thrower, the ham grenades, the Tim Hortons donuts bandolier and the large backpack with a Canadian flag on it that assures safety overseas.

When I was a young man I aspired to join the military because I thought it was honorable and would make me a man. Then I realized that I could quite possibly be forced to become a murderer with no honor. I think that realization made me a man.

Let's see... All-star cast. Action. That was something unheard of in British cinema at the time besides James Bond.

"In March 2002, Furlong participated in Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan's Shah-i-Kot Valley as a member of the 3rd Battalion of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI)."

And yet I don't see sales being all that strong for the "Princess Patricia Super Sniper Action Set"

Definitely you guys for the Canada jokes. There's no resenting Bob and Doug.

Ed Wood Jr. possibly wore bra and panties during the Guadalcanal campaign, as a US Marine. He served from '42 to '46. It's not always safe to taunt the "funnies."

OnlyM3: for the french Canadians

[www.upl.co image 500x500]


The French get a bad reputation for getting overrun so quickly in WW2. Historically, they've won a heck of a lot more wars then they've lost and even during WW2 the Free French army gave the Nazis hell through both in France and elsewhere in Europe throughout the entire occupation. They even started the liberation of Paris without support or approval from the Allied high command (who thankfully threw their support behind the offensive once it became clear the Free French were serious).



At any rate, creating a Canadian military toy line is a pretty solid business model. I'm sure if the guy plays his cards right he could stand to make a decent bit of money for both himself and the Soldier on Fund.
