Been away from SSHQ the past couple weeks. Lots going on. Not just All-Go Toys.
Though on that subject I thought I would speak for just a moment. I have been on a couple conference calls this week and traded some emails. Production on Passion Wagon is now fully underway. The Box art is all resolved and final production markings are being approved. So far so good.
Other things going on. All in early stages so still too soon for details. All I CAN say at the moment is that I was impressed with what was being debated in those meetings. Certainly don't mean to tease here, I am just wanting to share with you that things are moving ahead.

I think it does too. If I didn't have the Donald Duck one from BBI, I think I'd maybe look into this.

This plane looks awesome! It will go well with "The Temptation" Admiral Toys had planned for release, also a pin-up nose art aircraft. I think there needs to be more of this in the industry.
However, I have noticed one thing about this aircraft and that is the way they are marketing it. I am not sure if it is the nose art (which I know for a fact The Boeing Company has issues with naked ladies, ) or the attempt to shave some cost by not having to pay royalties, but All Go is not calling this model a P-51D or acknowledging North American aviation or Boeing on the box art or their pre-sales literature provided to the retailers for descriptive purposes. Admiral will have to do the same with "The Temptation." We spoke with Boeing several years ago about The Temptation and they were not going to allow this type of nose art, but Admiral did not care as well. Good job, All Go, for going out on a limb! Admiral has plans to do the same with their F-86... I mean "Korean Fighter"

I know I have complained about the price of this plane, but I will admit it looks really nice. I still cannot afford the $100 price tag if that sticks, but I hope it sells well enough to allow All-Go to release new planes in the future. Maybe something along the lines of a P-39 Airacobra perhaps? Now that would be awesome.

The props were straight on the three last general releases: "Old Crow," "BBD," and "Tuskeegee." I think "Tendor Terror" also had straight props, but that was not a general release. Bent props were on "Flying Undertaker," "Petie 2nd," and "Ridge Runner."vulgarvulture wrote:Yes, the only model with a straight prop, for whatever reason, is the Tuskegee P-51.
Too bad the props appear bent on the new model, but we could simply be seeing a prototype of sorts where they repainted a spare 21c P-51.

Not entirely true, at least in my case. I had 2 BBDs at one time and both had warped props, and my Old Crow's is warped. So I guess it's safe to say that it's a crap shoot and hopefully the All-Go P51 will have straight blades!The props were straight on the three last general releases: "Old Crow," "BBD," and "Tuskeegee."

I still eagerly await the Temptation "Korean Fighter" as well!Jason of Admiral Toys wrote:Admiral has plans to do the same with their F-86... I mean "Korean Fighter"
The idea of a figure is novel and nice, though if that significantly would increase the price and delay the project, I would think many collectors would still just love the F-86 .... er I mean "Korean Figther" with nose art.
