Some are being brought back as scale model kits at least. Check out HobbyBoss they have recently put for sale the Huey in 1:18 and couple years back they sold the Harrier, both are the 21st century molds. Huge beast the last one. Not at bad price, much cheaper than current 21st century toy prices but you must assemble and paint them. They must have other models there in 1:18.
I love seeing Big Boys Toys being enjoyed. Those 21st Century scales in 1/18 and 1/32 were some _very_ nice vehicles. I still have a few of the 1\18 scale pieces that I display when running my 1\16 RC Armor. They look great and totally authentic out in the field.
Reminds me of those unimax tanks. I've only ever picked up two of the 1/18 vehicle's when I was 17 , a Abrams and a m1 Bradley. I've had them in storage for years and they still work as well as the day I got them . Fun to use them in pics with the fear mecha tossing them over lol
I do volunteer work at a nonprofit children's clothing store in the States, and we also get toy donations. The ladies running it decided that they don't want to put out toys with weapons on them, so we either give them away to people we know, pitch them, or just don't accept the donation. Well, a week ago a big box came through that was absolutely stuffed with military toys and models, including 21st Century Toys diecast Panzer VI - Tiger I in 1/18 scale. I immediately claimed that box haha. It is such great quality; enough that now I want to collect the others to accompany it.
I didn't pay much attention to 21st century tank series, but now when I look at them again, I think its details and quality is actually very good. Maybe I should get one to play with... Thanks for your video.
My brother worked for 21C but left the company a little while before the collapse. I would do some carpentry and in return I would get a case of there products. I still have them. He went on to Sideshow Collectibles’s.
Hey. When I was little, I used to play with large scale toys. Big Jim from Mattel was my childhood action figure. I can tell by the sound of your voice, you might be from Australia. Every year, the National Museum of Transport located on the outskirts of Kirkwood, Missouri here in the USA, they hold a Pistons and Pumpers show, plus many other car and truck shows. As soon as things settle down, I hope you can come to St. Louis and swing by the Museum of Transport.
National Museum of Transport Kirkwood, Missouri, I went there a lot as a kid, I remember riding the train they ran back on the far end of the outdoor part of the place in the early and mid 1980s. I live around a hour away from it in Jefferson county.
Another Good review - I've enjoyed your figure/toy reviews for the past 1+ years & Greetings from Australia ! I have the camouflage version of this 21st Century Panther (same sculpt) - it is brilliant ! I HIGHLY recommend the matching 21st Century 1/18th TIGER I Tank, (I have the camo version) - it has a removable turret section with attached internal "gantry" & gunner/captains chairs plus extra internal details not included on other 21st Century 1/18 tanks.
I had my days with 21st Century, mostly the 1/6 figures. Far as the tanks go, Heng Long does rc in 1/16 for about the same price or less than what these things go for
@@AwesomeActionToys Yes. Space is a huge issue. I kept them boxed up for years but just a couple of months ago I hung the planes from the ceiling in my office. It's fun looking at them. I keep a game of Axis and Allies set up in my office at all times and they create a cool backdrop for the game. I have a Junkers Ju 87, Mustang, BF-109, F4U-Corsair and P-38 Lightning.
I have a small collection of 1/18 scale diecast cars but never got into 1/18 scale diecast tanks or aircraft because the prices of those type of models are bat poo crazy high. I know the 21th century 1/18 scale models are not diecast but when those were new in stores I never could get into buying them as I could get 2 or 3 1/18 scale diecast cars for the price of one of the 21th century models.
Do you remember those Africa Corp type plastic figures you could buy as a tie in from the Indiana Jones films? They did the larger 1/6 scale but they also did a smaller scale with a truck and a Kubelwagen they looked like 1/18 although am not sure? You had all the weapons/equipment with them. They looked like the same moving joint type figures as the 1/18 Joy toy/Marauder WW2 figures.
1/18 scale is not my normal choice as I have 1/6 but also some madelman (smaller Spanish made action man) and toy soldiers from 90mm to 5mm. However since watching your unboxing of these 1/18 figures I am thinking of getting some....although they seem a bit pricey? Yet everything is these days.
The perks of being based in China! Nice review as usual...may I know the length of the tank? Just the hull not including the turret. Thanks in advance. More toys to come!
@@AwesomeActionToys thanks for the information, appreciate the effort! I'm waiting for my 1:18 Kyosho Egg Type 74 as well, hoping it fits my 1:18 figures.
This one came loose so there's no box, but I can send you a pic of the other tank (it's identical bit different colour). Send me a message in FB and I'll reply
