Hello my fellow forum members, I've always wanted a tank to go with my Joes since I started collecting in 2007, but I find the MoBat to be on the small side. I'm wondering if anyone has found any tanks that are compatible with modern figures, most specifically, this one by Click N' Play:

BBI ELITE FORCE made a few or used to, most recently an M1A2 Abrams. None seem to be for sale on Amazon except an out of production Sherman from WW2.
While cheap and small, I've never seen this tank before: https://www.amazon.com/Fycooler-Armo...xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== |

Some people have specific tastes for their Joe-verses. However, Walmart’s Kid Connection has a tank for $15 and Lanard’s The Corps has a Titan Tank as well for like $20.

They ranger I’m price from 120 for desert colors scheme to 185 for the Woodland one.

Rubber tracks, the turret clicks (so it doesn't spin freely, you can set a rotation angle and it's going to hold there), it scales well, has pretty good detail, and it looks nice overall. I don't know if that helps, but that's as close as I can get to feedback on this tank for you. I actually have a sealed BBI Abrams still (the most-recent electronic one, 2015 I think?) if anyone needs one.

That's the same tank as the Power Team Elite World Peacekeepers brand (people often refer to this as "PTE" for short). If you have a Big Lots near you, they carry PTE stuff especially closer to Christmas. I could never find the Abrams tank until a couple of years after I gave up and bought their Chinese tank instead, so I have technically never laid hands on that specific tank. However, I have a number of other PTE vehicles and I can say that they're reasonably decent. The plastic is thin and has a feeling of low quality, but honestly I've never had a vehicle shell break so it's just a thin feeling plastic but it holds up ok. Not hyper-prone to breaking.
The Chinese tanks I have are fine. Rubber tracks, the turret clicks (so it doesn't spin freely, you can set a rotation angle and it's going to hold there), it scales well, has pretty good detail, and it looks nice overall. I don't know if that helps, but that's as close as I can get to feedback on this tank for you.

The WPK molds look identical, and I believe that company has access to those molds but if you ever hold both (not just tanks but all of the WPK stuff) you’ll see that there are many details and features that have been removed. I can’t articulate the difference, it seems like WPK gets the old molds and dumbs them down, or copied them but removes features for a cheaper product, not to mention the lack of paint apps and the huge difference in the quality of plastic. But looking at the secondary market price on the 20th century/BBI prices then yeah the WPK stuff may be the only affordable option.

Wow, I wasn't expecting so many replies! I love the looks of the Elite Force Abrams, but it's a little pricey, so I just might have to pass up on it. Thanks for all the info!
