ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — It’s mission accomplished for little green army men.

The molded plastic must-haves for generations of pretend soldiers were announced as the newest additions to the National Toy Hall of Fame on Thursday, along with the Rubik’s Cube and bubbles.

The toys enter the Rochester museum after being selected by a panel of expert judges from among a dozen finalists.

The other contenders were: American Girl dolls, Fisher-Price Little People, Hess toy trucks, My Little Pony, the skill game Operation, paper airplanes, pots and pans, Slip ‘N Slide and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Anyone can nominate a toy, but to become a finalist a toy must have achieved icon status, survived through generations, foster learning, creativity or discovery and have profoundly changed play or toy design.
