This, in my opinion, long overdue toy idea was made into fruition in 1987. The toys were non-posable toy soldiers released in "squadrons" (groups, of course) of an Orange army and a Blue army. The squadrons consisted of three or eight figures set on card-backed blister packs.. All the Army Ants had individual names.
According to the Virtual Toy Chest Army Ants page, "The Army Ants struggle to conquer the vast land that is your backyard. Two opposing armies engage in deadly combat to control important resources. The orange army is lead by General Patant. His forces include an assault team, sniper team, bazooka team, aerial assault team, and his special strike force. The blue army is lead by General Mc-Anther. His forces include a mortar team, artillery team, flame thrower squad, bomber squad, and his personal special forces. Only time will tell the ultimate victor of this epic battle on a micro scale."
