When I lived in Japan, Pepsi had promotional figures of PepsiMan, various action figures, baseball players ... and Disney marketed all of their characters - all made in a soft plastic and prepainted (perfectly detailed I may add and no paint chipping and totally bendable/twistable/almost chewable). And some of these came in a little bag because they were smaller than a 1/72 figurine.

I never could find out who they were made by, only by license agreement, but likely in China. These things were give-aways for free when buying a 12oz soft drink.

Imagine being able to buy a Napoleonic army all prepainted, bendable, no paint chipping, and all for free when you buy a soft drink? Of course, thats alot of Pepsi for Waterloo!

Hmmm... that's not too far off of the Axis and Allies collectible figures out in the stores now, and the science fiction/fantasy ones too.

A lot of Pepsi for the Battle of Waterloo? I can, and *do* drink a lot of Pepsi, heeheeheehee!
