Big Daddy Missile launchers

Big Daddy is a brand name that makes 4 different missile launcher trucks. They all look ok. Claims the truck is 20 inches long, but i'm skeptical, probably more like 16 inches long and the box it comes in is 20. Has anyone seen these?

the MLRS truck (with 18 missiles) looks somewhat like the Chinese truck at the top of this website, which I've learned is a type 81 mlrs. The Big Daddy MLRS is actually not bad in size as there are a lot of 6x6 MLRS systems in the world, each with different rocket combinations on the back and all are about 24 foot long trucks, which is 16 inches in 1/18. The Big Daddy MLRS is somewhat generic, as far as I can tell, as I haven't found one yet that has an 18 round rocket launcher on a truck looking similar to the Big Daddy's truck. The toy would GREATLY benefit from larger wheels...it would make a big difference; diameter of 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inch would be ideal:

And, here's a pic I found of a GI Joe figure beside the Big Daddy MLRS (second picture).

I got one of those off Amazon several years ago, thinking it would be like the elusive PTE missile launcher truck. These were junk and unable to hold a figure. Back in 2021 I was able to get the PTE truck from M&C Toys in China (along with the PTE A-10 and SU-27) and it is a much larger and far superior toy.

Fun fact. I found the PTE Anti aircraft missile truck on Amazon UK. I could buy it, shipped, for about $70 USD. I was just about to purchase but decided to take a second look at the pictures, which weren't great. By studying them closely I realized that it wasn't the PTE Missile truck I was buying but something that looked like it. Turns out it was the Big Daddy one. I didn't buy pending further research into it. Glad I didn't. Thanks for the heads up on the Bid Daddy stuff.
