I don't collect 1/18, but those are nice. Says sealed never opened.

Says sealed never opened.

Well if its unopened then maybe he's got two.
I've never seen this one nor ever heard any mention of a 101 Panther. I like it.



Just looked, the seller has six available.....oh and they're in china.

Would not be surprised if these were post-21C products using the old molds.

There'e this thread that mentions a 101, but I think it's 1/32 and a different camo.

I'm still suspicious. They also have an open model for the product photos and six available. Most likely, they're every bit as good. Looks good minus any German markings, which leads me to believe it's a post 21st Century Toys Chinese product that doesn't upset the authorities. The font and kerning seem a little off.

Meanwhile 1/18 celebrity look alikes

I would agree and they seem to be using the old 21st packaging as well.




I wonder when the 21st 1:18 King Tiger will show up?

Interesting about the 1:32 101 Panther, I didn't know they made one .

Love the look a likes......

Where are our tank experts? I have a sandy/desert Tiger, but it was custom job.

The bottom figure always reminded me of Gomer Pyle for some reason - but I do see Karl Malden's looks as well. Nice job!!! Got anymore? Who was the guy that always made the pics with different scale figures interacting with the little word bubbles???

I wonder what ever happened to 21st's 1:18 Jagdpanther?



Could these show up one day? It just seems like anything goes over there.

Ahhh man...that would have been awesome. Broken dreams and hearts.....

I can see the signature Pyle posture and jutting chin.
I should probably explain the randomness of posting the lookalikes. On the eBay page for the Panther, they had the Bill Murray, figure under their, "People who shopped for this item also looked at:" section, and a bit too often. Wanted to get a second opinion from the community on the likeness.

I like that Panther! I wonder if any batches of it will arrive on this side of the ocean anytime soon?

Also, can we agree to not post anything about 21st's jagdpanther? It's just too painful to see a picture of it...

I think the only way we'll see these Panthers on this side of the ocean, is to buy from this seller.
With 21st Century out of business who owns their unsold products? Who has possession of the molds?

Its a question (one of many) I wish TKO211 / Zach could answer.

As for the Jagdpanther, for now if you want one you'll have to make it.....


Did this in 2000.
