Small Soldiers – Mini VHS Keyring
Big action. Big fun. Big movie. Joe Dante’s gloriously entertaining 1998 action-comedy — starring Gregory Smith as Alan Abernathy, a teenager who discovers that a new line of military action figures — the Commando Elite, led by the ruthless and brilliant Chip Hazard (voiced by Tommy Lee Jones) — have been fitted with experimental military microprocessors that make them fully sentient, dangerously intelligent and utterly determined to destroy their enemies, the peaceful Gorgonites (led by the gentle Archer, voiced by Frank Langella) — alongside Kirsten Dunst as Alan’s neighbour Christy Fimple, Jay Mohr and David Cross as the hapless toy company executives, and the late great Phil Hartman as Christy’s father — a film of spectacular practical and CGI effects, enormous wit and genuine heart that was one of the great video rental discoveries of the late 1990s and remains a hugely entertaining and inventive piece of family action cinema — now on your keys. This miniature VHS box keyring is a faithful recreation of the original Small Soldiers (1998) UK Universal VHS case — featuring that vibrant bright blue cover with the “BRILLIANT!” — The Sun review quote in bold yellow at the very top, the bold chunky SMALL SOLDIERS title in white with a red and orange gradient outline dominating the centre of the front, the Commando Elite squad assembled in full battle-ready glory with Chip Hazard pointing directly at the viewer in the foreground, the hulking Butch Meathook looming behind him, and the Gorgonites peeking out from the top right corner, the red BBFC PG certificate badge and the Universal logo badge at the bottom of the front, the bright blue spine with SMALL SOLDIERS running vertically in that same bold chunky font alongside the yellow BBFC PG triangle certificate at the bottom and the CIC/Universal badge above it, and the brilliant blue back cover with the “SMALL SOLDIERS is a spectacular adventure for the whole family!” tagline in yellow at the top right, the four scene stills, the full synopsis in white text, the complete cast and crew credits listing Kirsten Dunst, Gregory Smith, Jay Mohr, Phil Hartman and Joe Dante as director, and the Universal logo alongside the barcode and the yellow BBFC PG triangle certificate at the bottom.
A must-have for any Small Soldiers fan, Joe Dante devotee, or anyone who still remembers the day the toys fought back.
