This channel is the pinnacle of a perfect mixture of child hood nostalgia, drama, action and perfect cinematography. You were a cornerstone of my young years. Love your work.
This should honestly be a movie in theaters, it looks so good. The editing, the acting, the sound effects. It's like toystory but for adults and about wars besides a kid playing with a toy.
@@sethleoric2598 All the factions are a stratocracy in nature which basically means that the head of state and administration is made up of military officials.
The fact that there can be so much emotion that can be conveyed in little plastic men just through their movement, the voice acting and the moment itself just baffles me. This puts so much potential in Michael's new film Reveille.
When a stop motion video of toys fighting each other is more realistic and surreal than most war movies. Phenomenal job to everyone who worked on this awesome piece
I’m glad we get to see the different perspectives of not only the Tan, but the green as well. We see crazed Tans and Greens, but we also see many who just want to live and don’t kill for pleasure. Even Dune doesn’t seem completely crazed. Ironically both sides come in many shades.
man im 17, I remember when you came out with plastic apocalypse when I was like 9. I was obsessed with army men and stop motion in general. And, I loved your stop motions (still do). You put so much work into them: you bring the plastic to life and tell thrilling stories. It's really something man, its a talent. Thx for the fond memories. And I'll keep an eye out if you ever produce any other films. Your channels are really something.
*part 4 (Chronological) 1: Saber Tooth 2: Hedge Base 3: Prisoner Operation Parts I & II 4: Lucifer That is, if you are the type of person who includes prequels makes Lucifer the 4th installment, which I am. Are you ? Also, technically you could be the type of person who would say Prisoner Operation Parts I & II count as two separate installments that also makes Lucifer the 4th, which I am not. Then there are the people who think both Saber Tooth counts and Prisoner Operation counts as two which makes Lucifer the 5th installment of the series.
Damn man really wished he did more of these fr i remeber little coming to play with my toys outside gateful i found this channel and ill always watch these every now and then
Judging by the few shots it's in, it appears to be a block of wood with 2 dowel slices used for the "reels" and 3 small dowels used for the lenses. Likely held on with super glue.
I really enjoyed this movie. The animation was awesome for soldiers that were NOT articulated. The scale was grand as well, with long shots and closeups blending together beautifully. The action was great as well. I'm completely impressed a and now a subscriber! Fantastic job!
This is an accurate representation of what younger me saw while playing with my plastic army men. It even includes the horrific war crimes! :D I also feel bad for Shamrock. Poor bastard...
Love this. I played with army men as a child and later, when I was old enough, enlisted in the Army and became an infantry NCO. This is so much fun to watch.
It takes a loooonnggg time to make a stop motion, I've made some stop motion projects before and the longest one I've made (1 minute long) took me three days, mostly because of bad time management but, yeah it still takes a long time to make a stop motion
Mike's ability to make likeable villains is impressive. Especially the fact that either side can be the protagonists, and it could be up to the viewer.
Yep. The Tan commander, Gen. Dune, is the best officer in the series. But poor Sgt. Moss of the Greens was also a good leader in an impossible situation. Couldn't help feeling sorry for him.
Really nice! I especially like of the background shots, such as the Tan tanks at the forest when Sergeant Shamrock takes a peak at the them and the landing craft near the coast when the Tans, led by Captain Windsor, went up Sabretooth Hill to capture the Greens’ base.
This is top tier quality, it's amazing in every single aspect, the intensity of the firefights, the story, dialogues and characters with consistence, sublime!
Hey man, please upload when possible and don't quit if you are considering it. I love this series and hope it continues. Hope you're doing well god bless.
You have managed to make me shed aa tear with expressionless plastic men and nuanced voicework the ending while tragic was beautiful and i do mean that... A perfect example of the absurdity of those waging war and the price tolled on the ones made to fight it potrayed by army men...
God i wish this had something. I cant describe how good this was. It's like fucking watching Band of Brothers, You all did such a good job. Hope your all well.
I hope I'm not the only one who wants these plastic soldiers to discover the human world, the battlefield would become a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room or a backyard, something similar to the Army Men Sarge's Heroes saga.
Just seen it a second time. I get the whole story now. I find this more engaging than some of the 'real' movies that's supposed to be out there. It just echoes the vibe of old war movie and I just love that. I'm sure the second won't be the last time I see this either.
this army men video of the tan army was amazing! I loved it Plastic Apocalypse Series your videos are the best! your videos are so AWESOME keep up the great work! you guys can do it :)
Dude, do not need to apologize. I am almost 60. This reminds me of the stuff we did with army men pre internet and pre cable. About 30 years back my nephew had green & tan army men and a map (it was right after Halloween), my sister in law and I sat up one night and set up a battle scene with limbs blown off, vampire blood etc until about 2 am. (Yes alcohol was involved) At 8 AM kid screamed holy hell. He is about to hit 20 years in the military
Stranger Things fans: "I can't believe I have to wait so long and only get one season!"
Plastic Apocalypse fans: "Whoah another upload! it's only been a year, this is amazing!"
True
And that's one of the many reasons this show is better than Stranger Things.
I mean I'm a stranger things fan but I think this show is way better
I hope ALL of you agree
Keegan i got word that it's coming out Christmas of, 2021.
The Angry Contractor hold up where did u hear that? I’m super hyped but don’t want get my hopes up😁
Imagine being this guys banker and see his purchase history
"Sir, why is there a $1000 dollar order for plastic army men"
"Uhhhhhh"
My purchase history would probably be similar. Also, imagine being his neighbors.
HAHAHAHA
True
Zhukov, why haven't you encircled the 6th Army yet
Hahahahahahaha
It felt like a been 10 years but it’s been one
Facts its crazy
You're not wrong though, it has technically been a decade.
How ?
@@lovenerds6184 Cause it's now 2020
Joe Garingan This video is technically not a decade, since the series is just 5 years old.

I can't deny that it's a stop motion masterpiece.
yes it is
sadly plastic apocalypse series has now reached its end he has no sold his army men collection for 4,000$
Oh yeah ! indeed is it. :-')
Still Best Ever ! +1
I am a child of the 1960's.......my heart will always be with the Greens.
I like the greens but I moved over to tan they are less brutal compared to the greens
True but nawaz the tan was brutal for executing.prisoners
I use to be with the Greens, but they just seemed much more brutal and the tans actually seemed like the good guys
#TheTansDidNothingWrong
The birmingham train spotter ummmm the tan sometimes shoot there own guys and run over people with tanks.
So sad the series had to end. If someone picked up the series that would be great. But nothing lasts forever. The age of the General Moe has begun
How did yk its over?
@@chrax-films3559 he sold his collection and said he's not going it anymore. The general moe made a video on it.
The battle between Tans and Greens continues on elsewhere, it never really ends. The Emperor Protects.
Army men Initiative is making another one named the rise of dune. It's not as good as plastic but it's still really good
@@LoganParam-03the battle never ended😔
22:57 that soldier was a beast he took 3 shots and got right back up, it looks better than before
Well, one shot usually isn't a kill. It depends on where you're hit
the green
@@skyraider87 he was hit in the stomach
three times
@@skyraider87 so you’re telling me if you get shot three times you gonna get back up that fast

This is seriously one of the most underrated series on RUclips. You've done a great job, Mike.
Man this series was one of the most epic things in my childhood, sad to see it gone, but always love to rewatch it when I can!
rel
Damnit I though this was a new one but I’ll take anything
Mlgfish123 it’s coming don’t worry the lucifer
Damn, one of the best war dramas I've seen in a last time
I wonder why the costal battery never got reinforcements? Holding nearly four a assaults you’d think they’d rush to send something there way.
Tan paratroopers cut off the routes. They can't send support there even if they wanted to unless they dislodged the paratroopers.
I’ve watched this over 5 times already. This is just. Too good.
The prisoner operation thing what happened with the base
Stay tuned.
This is a prequel to the first PA film, although Micheal Akkerman is indeed working on the next installment, and has even filmed several scenes.

I watched the original like 40 times
Tyco 06 your my hero
This is the BEST video I have ever seen!
When the officer gets hit at 14:43, does he drop his radio? I've always wondered and that would explain why he couldn't talk to his armor.
Seems like it
Probably
Yeah
Dang good eye. Never noticed that.
dang that's what happened he said that good eye might i know that's true.
More plastic apocalypse this is my favorite thing ever I've seen every episode please more
*Better Quality*
I can now see the nicks and crannies in the army men
Love this. I played with army men as a child and later, when I was old enough, enlisted in the Army and became an infantry NCO. This is so much fun to watch.
What a chad
This video inspired me to make my own stop motion channel. I’m glad that they made a better quality version.
