Sterling Silver Army Men

I am usually immune to the lure of pure luxury items, and at $2400 a set, there’s no question that these Army Men cast in solid silver by L.A.artist Josh Warner are pure, unadulterated bling.  Still: Wow.  Mr. Warner claims the figures are “all true to the original Vietnam era Louis Marx & Co. toys,” with the notable exception, of course, that their faces have been replaced with skulls.
