I dont know how long some of you have been collecting, but I can remember when 21st was first at target and TRU only. I also remember when they went bankrupt and quit making toys for a period. I am damn happy to see them in WM, Target and TRU. Even if its not perfect its still the best thing going i...

Its got to cost a lot for a on line retailer to fund one of these. BadCat is pretty small when you think about what it takes, as far as things drying up, of course they will slow down and of course its going to cost a litlle more. But I dont think one could say this puts 21st anywhere near in the sa...

I dont think the modern figs are cartoonish, just the craper old WW2.

Why they dont simply pack the crew figures into sets is beyond me? I would love to buy tank riders or panzer crew seperate, or the 88 crew.

They would easily be able to put out 10 to 12 sets of WW2 figures doing this.

Funny, I have the same two crew on mine. Which might not seem that odd to some but the Tamiya figure set comes with about twenty to choose from! :wink:

Real quiet! :cry: I think its the whole economic thing...? Probably not a lot of toys selling too well, or at least as well as in the past. Plus 21st has a history of some failure. ( for what ever reason?) Guessing they would be conservative due to that? In all honesty I have to shake my head some t...

I agree with the above about figures, however some 1/35 scale figures are very very close to 21st centurys 1:32. I have several Dragon figures that when placed on a 21st base are the same height as 21st and fit right in. As far as the guns go? Not sure? I have used 1:35 mortar. They worked out great...

I would think that if 21st did do Soviet stuff they could do camo vesions as well. The majority of sells tend to go to a kid that walks by the shelf and thinks cool tank! Collectors or purist may not be fond but even then I have seen my fair share of soviet cammo paint jobs! Either way I think 21st ...

I hate how they put one good figure in with the crap ones? Was the same with the wia and medic!

FOV has a lot of figures that could make up sets, tank riders and crew would be a great set, they could easily do a US and German set, possibly two of the latter no problem? :roll:

I dont know about politics and all that when it comes to the stryker. I do know that hearing it over and over again about accuracy gets me a bit. I see these as toys and can live with a few mistakes.

No its the figures, I bought a three pack for chopping up and the uniforms are a earth brown. The series one I picked up at a TRU store had a lighter tan uniform. Dont know about the picture but I know there are two different colored uniforms for this set. :wink:

You dont have to sculpt the pigs head, just yank one off a 21st stug!


I did this and cut the barrel down to give it a good 10.5 cm look. May not be toattly accurate but its pretty cool! :wink:
