Tokyo-Marui Airsoft Tiger!

Pretty sweet. It's 1/24 scale. R/C...and shoots BB's!

$250 bones.

Here's the description (courtesy of Monkey Depot)

okyo Marui Tiger I Airsoft Firing Tank 1/24 Scale



The latest Tokyo Marui RC Airsoft tanks are here! The Tiger I is the best one yet!

For those not familiar with the TM RC Tanks here is the deal: The tanks are ready assembled
models that come with everything you need to go. Just add batteries and you are off. The tank is fully RC.
It has three forward speeds, reverse, turns, turret turns and elevates. AND best of all it shoots 6mm plastic
airsoft pellets. These thing will hurt too! So be careful!

The Tiger I tank features new individual linked tracks. Not the rubberband tracks of previous releases. Another improvement is the
replaceable crystals that enable multiple tanks to be ran at the same time.

Those are VERY cool and I'd LOVE to have one, too bad they came out AFTER Christmas...
I could have put one on my list... :cry:

I like those too, but I would prefer 1/18

1/24 is too small for our dioramas and if i keep buying different scales i'm going to go crazy.
take care,
HOOAH!

Yeah, everything's great until somebody gets an eye poked out!!

That Tiger sure looks slick! Nicely detailed and able to met out some actual punishment!

eh, but $250 is too much for me though. I wish 21st would do a 1:18 scale of the same thing.....

I've considered their other tanks (all modern up until now - Abrams, Leopard, and a Japanese one) in the past, but also couldn't get past the scale issue. But if you search around on the net, these could be found for less than $100. Tiger will probably become more affordable also, if you want one. Just give it some time.

Make sure it is Tokyo Mauri you are buying on ebay etc....

Watch out for people advertising Tokyo Mauri and shipping the chinese knock off Hen Long version. The remote is a dead giveaway, along with the stamp on the bottom of the tank. I had one shipped in a tokyo box and did not realize it till later. The Tokyo Mauri is a better product from detail to function. The hen long stuff is what you see all over for 59 to 100 dollars. It is ok, but I paid the tokyo Mauri price for it. Just my 2 Cents !!

Tokoy Marui is really good, I have airsoft weapons made by them and the wepaons work really good.
the price is kind of steep though.
any ways, it would be cool to see a battle of 1/18 tanks with RC and bb's shooting capabilities.

Big Duke 6, now that you mention it, I think they were the Hen Long versions that I saw for less $$$.
