I'd like to replace the modern U.S. Army figures in the Mars Attacks! Boardgame with something closer to the soldiers on the original 1962 cards.

Does anyone make late 1950's U.S. Army?

What scale? In 15mm, I think Khurasan makes generic B Movie US troops. CMost 1950s types would still have WWII weapons.

I think they are ~25-28mm. But I'm sure someone else can be a bit more specific.

28 mm

Then maybe the Wargames Factory plastics? Again, 1950s, ie Korean War era are not going to look much different from WWII troops.

Love the Wargames Factory Plastics. Now, if only I had a guy with a flamethrower and a bazooka . . .

Thanks, nnascati.

Another option would be the Valiant Miniatures US, they have bazookas and MMGs, but no flamethrower. You are not going to find too many flamethrowers outside of USMC sets.

Brigade Games Atomic Cafe line has 1950s troops. I feel like there were pictures, now there are not: link
