I have a group of six painted generic little plastic players, similar but none the same as pictured so far in this thread. I got them for nothing, which is what they're worth, I'm sure, and have no idea about their source or whether they were issued with paint or someone did that later. What I do know is that I absolutely love them and would be looking to add to the collection if I was still searching eBay or going to shows. Every kid my age had at least a company's worth of similar dark green soldiers with which we played endless war games, including sending some in parachutes up with the little plastic Nike missiles we had, and I'm sure there are still some stuck in the oak trees in our battlefields of the back yards. Love my little ballplayers!
