Any Military Tank enthusiasts?

Regarding my recent Heng Long King Tiger tank purchase. I really wasn't impressed with the Tank Commander figure that came with the Heng Long King Tiger, so I found a couple different figures from Torro. Could I have painted the original Heng Long figure? Sure, but I still wouldn't have cared for it anyway. The Torro figures took roughly two weeks to arrive, which I found odd since they came from a company in California. I just received them today. I'm sure they had to order them from overseas.

Really like the top one, really wish you would stop sharing these.

The top new replacement Tank Commander figure you mean? Yes, I like him too as a replacement. His uniform color matches the camouflage colors of the Tiger.

Here you go Doom as a refresher.

Stop it! I have my eye on the Walker Bulldog, but keep telling myself no.

Hello Guys/Gals. Told you I had/have a RC Tank bug bothering me. Look what was delivered today. Motion RC ships pretty darn fast. I ordered this on April 17th. and it's here on the 22nd. That's great. I won't get to pull it out of the box and put it together until maybe early next week. Really looking forward to doing so. I didn't get any accessories like cannon camo or canvas rolls and the like just yet. I will in the future. I did purchase a couple 1/16th figures to go along with the Tiger. At the bottom of this post is my favorite scene from the 1965 movie Battle of the Bulge. Very cool. Gives me shivers every time I hear it. Robert Shaw passed away in 1978 he was 51 years old. Enjoy.

There are hundreds of different military figures you can get for them. Painted, unpainted, assembled, unassembled, etc.

There are lots of 3d printed resin figure model kits you can buy now too. Some of the guys on etsy and ebay will even do custom scales if you contact them. I ordered a 1/24 scale driver from a guy. Came in a bunch of different pieces.

And Free shipping!!!! Annnnnd, that sale is for the Professional Edition!!!!! . I know, I'm not helping.

Yes, you definitely need to paint the figure, but I still wasn't happy with the figure as it was. That's what prompted me to search out a different Commander figure that I prefer.

More scenes from Battle of the Bulge (1965).

My other two Tank figures I purchased when I purchase the Tank from MotionRC.
