On purcahsing 5 Toy Story Army men sets, I realised that to make them fit my LEGO city, they would need yellow heads and hands. This raised the problem of what to use the green hands and heads. My solution was for the Zombie characters. For every soldier, there is an evil, brain-loving fellow who would love nothing better than to rip you apart. Please post if any more ideas come alng, like a tree :) (wtf?)
(I have a feeling this topic will be moved)
101 uses for Army Men 101 uses for all parts from the set

If you think it's going to be moved, why did you post it here in the first place 
I would have put it in the Licensed forum since it's a licensed theme set.
Anyway, I think zombies are the obvious answer, I also saw a MOC where a person got slimed from the ghostbusters ghost, also I think Seigrfire used the standing plates as lilly pads.
I still haent opened my 3 sets yet so I haven't had a chance to play with them much.

Loads of stuff; for example green gloves for gardeners!
That would be Svelte.
Yeah, I agree... and I'll be moving this!

Svelte? I think they were in his lovely pirate ship MOC.
They could be used in a MOC where all life was frozen in place, and they became one with the vegetation. It's a longshot, but you can put that as #101.
I liked my set, but I'd gotten really excited about it by the preview pics, and didn't enjoy it as much as I expected to.

Well as said before, green hands can be used as gloves/mittens in many contexts, especially winter scenes/snow sports. I'm sure they can also be used very effectively to MOC some different plant types. As for the green heads, you can use them as alien heads, but if you're building City then just turn them around and use them as watermelons in a green grocer stand!

You could use the guys themselves in a museum as mannequins or something. If not, then I believe zombies and gloves have been said.

True, the set comes with 8, and if you have 5, that's 40 hands! A whole fridge full of asparagu...

They're still holding their value, despite being so easily obtained now. Look here!
Things to do with them...
You could swap out the hands on Killer Croc to finally make him right, and you'd be keeping them in the Licensed family at the same time.
You could also use them as thorns on a vine, though I'm not a huge fan of minifig body parts being used that way.
Oh, or you could use them with a plain green torso to create a solid green minifig for your monochrome minifig collection. You don't have a monochrome minifig collection? Weirdo...
Last but not least, you could send me a pair to replace the ones I stole from Green Goblin to make my solid green minifig.
It's funny, actually, outside of one SPIII set, green hands have only appeared in Licensed sets: Toy Story, Spiderman and Star Wars have all had a green handed character (yes, there are 2 variations of Green Goblin and 2 different army men, but you get what I mean).

Or radioactive people perhaps? They are usually green in cartoons

I saw helmet use as turtle by Schlimps:
But I guess you wold like to keep helmets on your figs...
I agree on what they said before: you can use the hands as vegetable, even try to make a new technique for grass...
I hope you will show us what you find !

The green stand piece is a favourite of mine, and actually pretty cheap on Bricklink.

I bought a heap with the idea of using layers of the pieces as foliage in a tree, but I haven't got round to that yet
