Are these these in a set? Different colors? A laser tank battle game?

One to a box,No laser that I could see,just a radio control for moving tank.I would call the color a Dark Panzer Grey.

What's the price? Are they in the RC car section? Heavy Metal... does that mean they are metal?
Gonna have to go look now.

Is this something new I missed? I know New Ray did craptacular Shermans and KTs that were motorized but this sounds like something new. Info anyone?

I've got an earlier version of the King Tiger in grey camo, but no remote, just an on/off switch from KB Toys years ago. Decent for the price. Shortened barrel is the most noticeable inaccuracy.

Is the scale right? In the past the King Tiger was a little on the small size and the barrel was inaccurate. The New Ray Shermans were the right size but very basic as compared to FOV or 21st.

So far they have not shown up at my local Walmarts. I'm now on a mission.... How are they in size to FOV or 21st?

I haven't seen them yet. If they're worth purchasing I'll buy them. I've been to a few Walmarts and no luck so far...

New Ray is notorious for saying something is 1/32 and it's not even close. A perfect example of this is their latest offering of heilcopters. The boxes say 1/32 but they're 1/40 or even smaller. Their past vehicles are somewhere smaller than 1/32 and a litlle larger than 1/35.

on the topic of scale..

what if new ray bought these molds from 21st C or whoever they owed money to?

FoV already has a 1:18 tiger mold so.......

Woah, completely missed this thread. Interesting find, I'll need to remind myself to look for these, I'll be down to buy one if I can find it and if it looks good up close.

I don't own the 1:18 21CT Tiger, but I do have the 1:18 Unimax Tiger and they are not the same. From what I recall reading, the 21CT's has an interior and inaccurate look with parts of it being made up of different Tiger models. While the Unimax version has no interior, with a somewhat more accurate mid- or late production model with zimmerit on.
