While the level of detail may be relatively accurate, the degree of weathering is likely another matter. The weathering and painting shown in the pic is probably akin to what we saw on the pics of FOV's 1:18 Tiger... probably a marketing tool designed to stimulate pre-release collector interest. The finished product bore little resemblance to the pics we saw of the Tiger on boxes etc. prior to it's release.they've really stepped up the quality then. Skeptical.

This was the reply I received:
Thanks so much for your support of our 1:18 products. It's collectors like
yourself who have made the program an early success for us at Target.
We hope to continue extending BRAVO TEAM's assortment to include new armor and
figures in future releases. I'll pass along your suggestions to our Hong Kong development team
(whom you can 'cc' on your future inquiries: sales@unimax.com.hk). This way you'll get the attention of
this office in Calfirnia, and that of our parent office overseas.
FYI, this fall we are introducing AGES OF ACTION, an exciting line of fully poseable 1:18 warriors from
ancient history, developed in collaboration with Osprey Publishing. Have a look at them at www.agesofaction.com.
We'd love to hear your suggestions for this line as well if they are a genre of figures you'd patronize.
Again, and on behalf of our team at Unimax Toys, Thank You for the email and we'll look forward to hearing from
you and your colleagues on the collector 'front lines!'
Best Regards,

That Stryker picture is probably a paint master, or something. There's no way it could possibly be that good.
Then again, you guys should be used to the, "Oh-we'll-show-you-our-new-product-but-it's-actually-not-the-product-you're-gonna-get-because-that's-our-paint master-and-the-product-you'll-actually-get-is-a-slightly-inferior-version-of-that-picture-we-just-showed-you. tactic by now, because 21st have been doing that for years.
Man, that's a mouthful...
