Anyone know who makes this 1/32 diecast M34 Chaffee being offered on a dealer's website for $39.99 with a February release?
The commander figure looks like the 21st Century commander figure from their M24 Chaffee...so could this be a JSI rerelease of the 21st Century Chaffee?

That's 21st Century..... but I don't if it's the JSI release. I didn't know JSI acquired the 1/32 molds. I thought they only had the 1/18.....

GUYS:
It's from Fairfield Collectibles. I got a catalog from them in the mail today and saw the M24 Chaffee which is listed as February release. It looks like the 21st Century Chaffee to me.
If it is a 21st Century Chaffee, why would Fairfield get them in stock in February?...or maybe it's JSI's re-release of the 21st Century Chaffee.
Who knows?...but here's the link:

almost certainly the 21C molds. I have several 21C Chaffees and this is exactly whatthey offered.

That is a pictue of the S1 21c M-24 Chaffee. That version was actually plastic, not diecast. They were pretty common and can (or at least could) still be found for much cheaper than $40. In my opinion, the S2 32x Cold Steel M-24 was their best version. It will be interesting to find out who is remaking it, should that be the case.

Shameless plug here for my M-24 currently listed on ebay.... My guess is you could probably bring it home for a bit less than $40.. LOL

Notice the 21ct 1/48 Me & Mustang...quite a few other 21ct on the pages that follow...very interesting...I think it's leftover stock from the collapse, though...
