All-Go! Toys - New 1:18 player JAGDPANTHER ANNOUNCED!
Looks like these will be geared for the adult collector, than those that leave them in boxes and don't enjoy them.Airacobra wrote:That is what I was afraid of.coreystinson wrote:The pre-orders will be popping up soon, but when you see the price for these I imagine the cheering will come to a screeching halt - they are not cheap, gone are the days of Wally World mass production run pricing. This will be a limited production run and thus a very expensive model.
I for one am excited at the news!

This is awesome news on a new P-51. Not fond of the scheme since I like silver Mustangs, not OD, but to each his own.
My only question is:
Is that Mustang shown a 1/48 or 1/32 paint master or is that really 1/18? The landing gears look too perfect for 1/18 which makes me infer it's a smaller scale.
If it is 1/18 are they retractable or plug N play like BBI's Phantom. I hope it's plug and play. You can easily get more realism from the model.
IMHO retractable gears are overated. Interesting they are choosing one of the earlier P-51D's which didn't have the extra material on the leading edge of the vertical tail like most "D" models have.
TKO, can ya enlighten us on these questions?
Thanks

Anything that is a truly limited production item, regardless of what it is, is goiing to come with a heftier price. All of these type items as we know, come with a minimum order figure from the manufacturer. I'm sure AG Toys will order the absolute minimum of all their releases in the beginning. I think we all need to just accept the fact that they will probably be fairly expensive instead of moaning and groaning about price point. I know that not every will but there will be plenty that will. Regardless of the price, this reminds me of the old depression era song.

Take a look on google.NWarty wrote:LOL...I was drawing naked chicks on aircraft when I was ten. But then again, my favorite reading material was Watanabe, Squadron Signal, and discovering Dad's PB stash.
I was an art major in college, still draw a ton of stuff, and love pin-up/nose art.

Now if I could only get a decent poster-sized copy of Vargas' "Trick or Treat" onto my man-room wall
I found several places offering that poster for sale.
It's a shame Small Joes got the info wrong on the Pilot...

Great news. As long as the product is sold by etailers, we are assured of getting what we want. No running from store to store hoping for an item to be in stock.
I would like to have verified whether the production is to be "limited". At $100 for the Stang doesn't tell me that is a "limited" production item.
At anything lower than $150 for the KT, I'm in for multiple buys if the KT is "limited".
Did I hear T-34? or was that just wistful thinking. I know a B-25 in 1/18 would be dreaming for a new company. Maybe 1/32?
Great news TKO.....
