Does anyone know if there is an f-4 phantom in the right scale for the 25th joes? I have an idea of a Cobra paint scheme for one but am not sure if there is one on the market.

Admiral Toys was going to release one last year at SRP $130. Being true 1:18 scale it was REALLY huge and awesome, and the prototype was shown at Toy Fair.
Unfortunately, 21st Century Toys in their hunger to dominate the realistic 1:18 military category, immediately put out a BS press release that they would also release an F-4 with all the bells & whistles but at only SRP $80. This forced Admiral Toys to put their Phantom on the back burner. It's been slightly more than a year since the Toy Fair debacle happened, and on reflection many collectors now agree 21st Century Toys has been (and continues to) put out fake product announcements to pre-empt any competitors (they also did this with the B-25). So in the near future at least, there will not be an F-4 Phantom in true 1:18 scale. Last edited by flashjack; 05-10-2008 at 08:38 AM.. |
