I had one set of plastic Civil War soldiers when I was about 4, but I
haven't seen many other toys. However, this points out an interesting market
trend that addresses a point made elsewhere on this thread:
Someone suggested that a Civil War theme would be almost guaranteed to do
well, but the current lack of Civil War toys suggests to me that at least some
marketing researchers have judged it not to be a toy line worth pursuing at
this time.
