mutt jeep update - back of box
update below
I just reconed a new WM in my area, and they had what looked like new stuff. New vehicles at that: 2 mutt jeeps the one you see here and one with an M60, 2 half tracks one german, one US and both looked like new paint schemes and none come with figures (which is why I did'nt buy them all) Any way has anyone ever seen these before
UPDATE I almost forgot the back of the box...

I don't know, I just went to 21st site and couldn't get on. Maybe they're posting new intel on this very subject. I know they did a Mutt long ago butI don't collect NAM stuff... I don't remember seeing a Mutt with a TOW.

vn mutt
Most questions have been answered - but yes they came with driver (and came in a smaller box). Moth, yes the hood opens and there is engine detail. Overall it is actually very detailed but I agree that the no figure approach to these recent midsized vehicles sucks. Really hope this is not a trend. Honestly, how fast would these go if it was packed with the Platoon Leader or VN infantry? $23 for a Jeep and no driver is a joke compared to a USMC Sherman with a figure, or a CC with 2 figures.

I'll be honest - $22 with no driver is crap. After getting the Willy Jeep and Mutt when they first came out for $15 (and passing on the kubel ), I passed on the SEAL technical when it came out (I think it was $25) since it was WTF? It's the same size vehicle.
I'm sure if I find one, I'll be buying it. But, if this is a trend I'll likely pass on the small vehicles.
Or maybe 21C is teasing us, and some Vietnam figures are on their way

yes, if this is a re-issue and it seems it is, it could signal some more upcoming Vietnam stuff.
Odd they chose the paint scheme they did though. Not from Vietnam. The scheme came out mid 70's as i recall. It is possible that a few of that scheme were seen in vietnam but it sure wouldnt' be the norm.
It's a neat little vehicle but demands a driver at that price.

The Seal Technical was 22, but it was the CC with no driver at $25 that clogged shelves near me, and with M41s were the last thing to ever leave TRU.

Looks like the old scheme to me. My monitor sucks but it appears the same.

I just noticed that, Horrible mistake, I wonder if 21st Century will fix the box with time, It might cause some Koreans to not buy their products
