Parachute men were some of favorite toys as a kid. There were just a few different molds and they were super cheap. I always thought the molds were funny. There were other versions of the parachute men. Some were soldiers and were larger for instance, but I always loved these little ones that were more cartoonish. I loved the simplicity of the toy. Fold up the parachute and then throw it as high as you could and watch it float down. Over the years I bought many of these little guys. Eventually the stings would rip through the plastic and you'd have to get a new one, but they were super cheap. Later in the 90's as an adult I picked up a few and left the rubber bands around them. The rubber band around this one is getting all cracked from age. This is something I saw today.
