Re: Joy Toy WW2 United States Army 1:18 scale action figure set

I got the German mountain set. Better than I expected. Will get the other Gerrman sets. But for the U.S. set I will not. One figure is useless, the black guy. In WW2 the services were segregated. A black guy would only be in a black unit. he would not serve along a with a white guy in the same unit....

Have not seen any comments on this new line. I bought 25 British and like them. My only complaint on these I cannot get the trigger hand for firing the rifle to fit properly on the rifle. I have seen pictures where it fits perfectly but as of now I can't figure it out. Any help? I have so many ROTLA...

Re: Austin Miniatures WW2 Japanese

15 years or so when I collected old origional Marx figures I did have all those sailors. Even back then they were kinda of difficult to find. My best recollection was that these sailors came with one of the Marx Training Center Playsets.

1-16th Russian Tank Question

I see where shortly there will be a 1-16th Russian tank on the market.
Will that work with 1-18th? Or will the size difference be that much different?
I do have to wonder if a company is doing that tank why go to a different scale?

Before it was edited I,m the unsrupulous customer. Been collecting WW2 1-18th since 2000 and a member of this board since it was "Groundpounders" About a month ago I decided to start collecting 1-18th modern stuff.

re: 21st Century

I believe the difference this time between the last time 21st was in trouble is the cost of doing business in China.
Unfortunately I think this is the end of 21st. It sure was a good ride!
I,m not real optimistic about FOV either. For all of the above reasons.

Do you make the handles on the ammo boxes, or where do they come from.

So you are willing to spend $200 on a line of figures. I,m sure 21st Century are clicking their heels over this!
Do you have any idea what it cost to produce this stuff?
These companies have got to make at least a small profit, and I,m afraid WW2 Italians won,t cut it.
