Any chance of a 1/18 King Tiger?

Vaguely recall hearing on some earlier post either here or from GP's old board after a toy show that 21st might be releasing a King Tiger in its XD line? Wonder if this is a possibility? Or how abt BBI? Anyone heard anything so far? Thanks.
I've heard of the FOV 1/16 offering but the unaccurate paint job is a turn-off.

I am not a big tank guy... But with the new panzer and if they did a king tiger I would have to add those to the collection.

I don't know about the King Tiger, but I'm psyched up for the Mk IV! It shouldn't be too far out, I hope.

true, but a tiger I is even more limited in what they could do with the mold. Unless they plan a sturmtiger some day, which i really doubt, the tiger is it. Can't use any part of it for another tank.
Given it's spectacularness and the fact they can also make a jadgtiger (yes i know the hulls were diff't lengths but i can live with a slightly short jagdtiger if i must) i feel confident we will see a king tiger if 1/18 armour continues.
There are no less than 11 distinct vehicles that they can make from the Pz IV chassis. Now that is going to make them really happy. (although, astonishingly the still haven't made a jagdpanther, even though they have the chassis already and it would sell tons).
King Tiger/Panzer IV...
