TOY SOLDIER Day is celebrated on the 4th Day in March which is a play on the words βMarch Fourth OR March Forthβ.
The Army of Toy Soldiers originally started as the fan club of a talented street performer, musician, and internet personality known as Dr. Steel. Dr. Steel started his career in 1999 in Los Angeles, where he put on shows combining puppetry and video projections to help his audience better understand the meanings of his steampunk songs.
Later on, Dr. Steel moved on to performing in clubs and also released several CDs. Dr. Steelβs stage persona was very originalβhe portrayed himself as a mad scientist determined to take over the world and become its Emperor, which was also the reason why he needed The Army of Toy Soldiers.
The Armyβs mission is to promote Dr. Steelβs philosophy of transhumanism, freedom of thought, and subjective reality, which can be done by the so-called βinvasionsβ it sometimes makesβit is not uncommon for groups of these toy soldiers to βinvadeβ theme parks around the world dressed in their full regalia. Toy Soldiers are also famous for doing charity work in uniform, such as clothing and toy drives for the less fortunate.

Here are some activities that you can do on TOY SOLDIER Day!
Get out your old toy soldiers when you were a child. Or perhaps pick up a newer set of toy soldiers for your kids. Do you remember playing with yours? They could have been βlittle green army menβ or perhaps G.I. Joes or some other action figure altogether. Itβs not something thatβs really popular when you get grown but it sure was fun to play war when you were a kid though β¦ and shoot lasers β¦ or shoot bang spit π
Listen to Doctor Steeleβs music or watch a video of one of his bandβs street performances.
