All right i know this is a 1/18 scale forum,but this Jagdpanther is 1/12 and it was made by 21st century toys.
I don't know how to put the link,but here is the item number:230800903263
I need to learn how to put the pictures on the post as well.
This tank is the same that All go announced.I look at both pictures and they are the same.
This is bad news for me and everyone else that has been waiting for this tank to be produced in 1/18.

Interesting. I had forgotten what the AllGo Jagdpanther looked like. Would have made sense for them to snap pictures of their 1:12 one.
I'd be curious as to why we never got any of the 1:12 items, and they had some neat subjects to boot. Then again, it is sort of an odd scale. By the time 21c was making 1:6 figures in the late '90s and early 2000s, Hasbro had already been making them for their GI Joe collector lineup, so the scale was recognized and popular. Same with 1:18, which was the same scale of the popular GI Joe and Star Wars lines. The Xtreme Detail line could fit right in with a realistic alternative. 1:12 would have been odd and not fit with anything.
Why they never could have scaled down that Jagdpanther and Churchill for the 1:18 line (where they would have sold) is surprising.

there's a 1/12 churchill tank too: see european bridge thread. They certainly had wonderful stuff planned.
1/12 is 6 inch figure scale, which had become very popular back around 2000, so not that odd of a choice. My hunch is they originally were going to go the 1/12 route but then decided on 1/18 as it allowed for larger vehicles, like planes and tied in better with GI Joe.

The Dusty Trails Figures were 1:12, I wonder if they were testing the market with them?
I seem to remember there was some kind of family relationship between 21st and Dusty Trails.

For what i am observing.this is the SAME tank that All Go provided as proof that they where going to release in 1/18
If you Google under "1/18 Jagdpanther" you can see the SAME tank advertise by All Go as a 1/18.No wonder they never picture the tank with any 1/18 figures.
On the meantime all this time i tough All go was going to produce this because they pass this as a 1/18.
Now that this seller sold this tank,things got more clear to me,i finally understand that there never was a intention of making this in 1/18 as there never was a 1/18 Jagdpanther prototype.

I have a 1/12 WW2 Jeep which would fit right in. Don't know who made it but it is very nicely made.
My Jeep collection - from left to right - 1/18, 1/16, 1/12, 1/6

the 1/12 jeep was by Plan B wasn't it? They made some 6 inch WWII figures and i think the jeep to go with them.

I bought 2 MIB on this board's BST. Box had no name if I remember correctly. Have one on display and the other is buried in my stash of MIB stuff in my vault... er... garage.
Nicely done with an extra .30cal mg, why the extra mg I do not know.

It sold for $500.00 .For the size of that thing and being a prototype,i think it was a good deal.However i don't understand why the Churchill tank has not sold for $280.00
