Well, I was randomly roving ebay when I noticed an auction on an RC 1/16th leopard.
2 4GHz Radio RC 1 16 German Leopard 2A6 Airsoft Battle Tank w Smoke Sound RTR | eBay I was like, huh, it seems in scale to joes, why hasn't anyone talked about it. So I went to Tamiya, and took a look at the price tag. Oh My god. https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ca...p?sub-id=33000 On a similar note, I found this wonderful fox vehicle and I thought man, I could put GI Joes into it. The I found the price tag of a store that had the vehicle in stock. AFV Model 1:16 - AFV-Model Shop There's even a truck on there with a price tag in excess of 6,900 Euros MAN MULTI Mastab 1:16 - AFV-Model Shop I thought I would share with you guys that this stuff does exist, and just curious, what other high end, highly costly stuff works with GI Joes? |

Just don't park them next to your 1:18 or Joescale Humvees, or any ground vehicle made by Hasbro for that matter.
And the reason they aren't discussed because they're "too big", "too realistic" (their words) and WAAAAAAY out of the cost comfort zone of a Joe collector. The lion's share are quite happy with MOBATSs and H.I.S.S.es. As an aside, you can get 1:16 RC tanks for considerably less than what Tamiya wants for those. And since the scale is actually supported there are quite a bit of aftermarket detail mods you can get (stowage, tools, etc.) As to the topic. Any of the R/C genres will have models that will be compatible with Joes from a scale standpoint. A lot of work would be necessary to make them more than back drops, though. Best to stick with the 1:18 military stuff available. It all goes for a premium now, but figures were in mind when they designed them. |
