    There were other female characters besides Vikki and Bridgette Blue, who was introduced in this game. In the Air Attack games there was Bombshell, and she was green molded plastic just like the rest of the characters. There was also Tina Tomorrow from Toys in Space and the units that were based off her. They too were molded plastic, albeit a light blue color instead of green.

    If I remember, the original reason vikki was different from the rest of the green army was because colonel Grimm (who was the original sarge at the time) hooked up with Tina tomorrow from toys in space. But once the games came to home consoles, they sorta retcon her origins and instead was mainly used to help signify she was a unique soldier/npc.

      @@gavindixon15 I'm kinda confused, you had the 3DO Army Men games, but not a 3DO. Did you have somewhere to play them on? Or was the 3DO Army Men games, and playing Army Men games two separate ideas?
      If the latter true, then no one actually did buy the 3DO, and feels like some kind of Polybius experiment where everyone seems to know about the console but have never actually owned and played it (nowadays, I probably wouldn't believe the 3DO existed outside of a weird fever dream if I didn't see the console and games for sale at the retro video game shop in my area).
      I had considered it once upon a time as a kid (probably about 20-something years ago now), because Gex looked awesome.

      I asked a legitimate question on how you phrased your text and you couldn't even answer that.
      Even though I figured out that you're just stupid, and call the company 3DO (when it's actually The 3DO Company), and make no mention of the context being the company. So, saying I played the 3DO Army Men games, that could mean any of them developed by The 3DO Company, or the games specifically on the 3DO (and you saying you don't have a PANASONIC 3DO didn't include Sanyo or Goldstar, so it was opened up to meaning you don't have specifically the Panasonic one). Your own poor wording is at fault.
