Forget the little green army men that were popular back in the day, because the All City Breakers figures are all about battling in a friendlier manner.

[Kidrobot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidrobot-1) has decided to change up their [designer toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimmon-collectibles) by going with something that's outside of their realm of whimsical creatures with psychedelic colors. The brand created the All City Breakers series, which was inspired by the little green army men that have been popular since the 1950s. The figures shows a series of b-boys and b-girls frozen in popular breakdancing poses that proves these folks are serious about their craft. Even a mini plastic boombox comes with the toys to complete the look!

From the flare to the float, these figures are here to impress the crowd with the moves they bust.
