SCUTTLE BUTT!

IIRC, TKO211 said their products will be aimed at the adult collector, so major chain stores would seem to be out of the picture for the time being.

Of all the possible repaints 21st could come up with, yet another natural metal P-51D with nude nose art is probably the least attractive option on the table (AT came up with a similar tentative approach a while back regarding their F-86). Then again, maybe that is their only remaining mold, in which case my guess is the newly revived 21C will be needing CPR sooner rather than later. I mean, how many P-51Ds repaints can you sell (esp. in this economy)?

Say, I stood in front of that table and looked at that bad boy in person. Do you see any drool puddles on table?

The nice thing about the A-10 is that spots can be accurate given the paint scheme....

I like re-postings of the A-10 prototype picture almost as much as the re-postings of the Salma Hayek picture...

I might even drool as much.

JERICOEAGLE1:

So have you ever "horsed" around with your neighbor Salma?

Jericoeagle1 · Post by **Jericoeagle1** » Thu Jan 14, 2010 12:33 am

I'd give my left n@& to be able to. I've never seen her around town but a friend of mine has. I guess she keeps to herself when she is up here.

so bad?

Post by **aferguson** » Thu Jan 14, 2010 10:39 am

what was wrong with the plastic? Very durable. I had one of my cobras fall 5 feet onto a hard floor and only the mini gun broke. I glued it back together good as new. No other damage.

Gun blown all to hell, TOWs broken off. I've got a busted Hydra pod, too. Without the benefit of a 5 foot drop.

I MUCH prefer Bbi's plastic.

That's the packaging and how they're stored during shipment more than the plastic. 21st simply used ABS on most of their models, and polyvynl on their figures. BBI wasn't different.

My 88's both arrived in boxes that looked like a stiff wind would blow them apart, and 21st's stuff was always packaged that way for the most part. I specifically remember the choppers being in shoddy motorworks boxes that seemed, if possible, even cheaper and less well designed.
